Fortunately, the morning after ... Henning after laboriously regained consciousness, and both drivers were fit again. Shortly after takeoff, it went through a beautiful high mountain on the highest point of the day. Then a seemingly endless trail of entlangzog as a mule with an easy up and down to about 2000 meters. We had a great view of the valley, which lay in the Märklin Scale among us. Indescribable, for mountain bikes were invented! The runs were correspondingly rough and had it in themselves. Finally, it is supposed to be the hardest mountain bike race in the world and remain, the track selection is similar. Material and dental fillings were s, the end of the stage went through the valley of Meledrio. Here again, the hour Hennings, the steam engine, the wind shadow of Karsten donated for the power play. We were rewarded with space 91, the top 100 overall are within reach! Today, the ground crew was not able signposted as many signs as the bikers, the RV sites were not so in the narrow streets again met campers who saw themselves with a questioning expression. It is a mystery, in which the value is paid for by us € 100 if we are to ordinary mobile home parks or campgrounds pay again. Both, however, was not possible today, and after a long search found Christine and Achim a place on the site of a pizza factory machines - we are finally in Italy!

This entry comes a day later. We had no internet. And we were completely ko And we had to eat and bikes clean and wash and wash schlaaaaaafen. The highlight was us and the ground crew shooter. And to Christine's birthday! While our team accompanying the motorhome over narrow mountain roads to the milestone controlled, began the day by us with an ascent of the Passo Trela wonderful trails and on through stunning mountain scenery. After 50 km we took our first from the high mountain peaks, in order to drive in a 20 km long low-level flight after Grosotto - a huge reward for the slog in the first half stage! But the thing was a catch: The course planners had made us a monster mountain with 1600 meters of altitude to play in his way. It was necessary to overcome the Mortirolo, which is feared to the Giro d'Italia. We learn we had to take the cyclists the easy option! We drove a short cut to the top so that we do not overcome 10%, but 15% slope had. Onset of rain and cold any movement difficult. Once at the top at the pass, we went not down, but coming right out of the woods yet. The last departure began difficult. On steep, slippery floor, we had some running, some driving to find a way. Eventually we found in the flow of the trail and could enjoy the road. At last came the final ascent to Henning finally the man with the hammer. 300 meters to the finish and stomach and legs no longer wanted. An endless time, meter by meter, he had to fight to the finish. Despite the drudgery of the 91st Place in the daily standings. How much to wait until these other teams have suffered! the height profile http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/hoehenprofile/cbt2010_05.pdf to Day Rating: http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/ergebnisse10/e5_2157.pdf

3. Etappe Ischgl - School, 75 km, 2504 Höhenmeter 
The third day was hard, but offered us a view from the roof gandiosen the Transalp, the Idjoch with 2737 meters height. Unfortunately we were unable to use the cable car, but had to connect everything - the last kilometer with 20% slope we have, as almost all the drivers pushed around us. During the drudgery we practiced ourselves in the fine art of Zen Budhismus. In our mind, we asked ourselves more questions: Why am I doing this? Am I here it? Who am I? Am I? The water leaves the consciousness of the body ...
top between the snowfields a quick photo and then we have thrown in the descent. Very nice, but unfortunately much faster than the increase over ... The aid station has saved our lives, where we could store our refill. Eating with (as a verb) has however not much to do, we shoveled every second quarter of Orange into us, plus bananas, apples, melons, cakes and trail mix, and the inevitable energy bars and sports drinks. The dosage is very simple: it fills in record time so much to himself until it is just before gagging. Then a cup of water and into the next rise.
The descent offered driving pleasure on steep, rooted trails. How can we take that? To quote a well-known cyclo-cross racers: "You have to just share the link!" Have we made. The end of the stage was slightly uphill 25 km to the Inn. Sounds relaxing, But because it went so well, it degenerated into a team time trial: Tempo 40 was not uncommon, but brought us to the edge of our capabilities. But as evidenced by the photos, we were in top shape for the finish line again! the height profile http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/hoehenprofile/cbt2010_03.pdf to Day Rating: http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/ergebnisse10/e3_1909.pdf
