And now, looking forward down to the village of Pfelders (the last one you can see in the distance), where I spent the night. Note the exceptionally steep and twisty trail at the bottom of the photo… went down that, I did, and my legs were complaining bitterly by the time I got to the bottom. Still, compared to the three nutcases I passed pushing mountain bikes
up the trail, I think I had it easy. A classic case of "It seemed like a good idea at the time…."
