Rediscovering a Mountain Loop: A 40km MTB Tour

Years ago, I struggled through a challenging 40km mountain bike loop that left me exhausted and discouraged. This time, I revisited the same route with better preparation, fitness, and a new bike. The result was a surprising and rewarding experience. Check out the video to see how it went!

Hey friends!

The weather forecast today was "a lot of rain". In the morning it had changed to "rain from 3pm".so we decided to do a small hike on the local .

In the photos you see a couple of impressions from our 3h activity. It was really the best decision to go out.
We just returned, had a coffee are relaxing on the couch and the rain and thunder just started rolling over us.

Well. I hope you enjoy your day as well!

Mount Everest has a massive trash problem, thanks to the some 400 to 500 climbers that attempt to summit it every year.

New efforts and innovative strategies could solve the sky-high waste management problem.

My trip earlier this month was one of my favorite types-- followed water almost to the summit of the mountain! 8 of the 9 miles (one-way) was either along a river or . So beautiful to watch and hear the sound of rushing water while . The enjoyment extended into the night-- eating by the stream and falling asleep listening to its sounds! White , .

Photo looking upstream of Black Brook. Photo taken while standing near the middle of stream and near water level. Water is seen rushing over the large tan boulders and toward the camera. The brook is relatively wide here. Green trees are shown along banks of this brook. This water crossing is at the site of my campsite. I ate dinner and breakfast at this crossing and slept in my hammock near it.
Photo looking across Black Brook as viewed from bank of brook. Water is shown rushing over a nearly straight line of large tan and brown boulders. Green trees on opposite side of brook. This photo taken at water crossing where my campsite was. I ate dinner and breakfast here, as well as slept in my hammock near here.
Photo looking upstream of Black Brook. This is the last water crossing before the summit of Bondcliff mountain. This is about one mile from the summit. The brook looks completely different than the other pics taken at a lower elevation. It is now quite steep and narrow and consists of a series of narrow waterfalls cascading down large tan boulders. Green trees line each side of the brook.

May 29, 1983, 41 years ago today: I began hiking exactly at 11:00 beneath a heavy overcast, but no rain. My first three miles were the climb up Big Bald.
