June 17, 2026,J.M.Radelt 11/26 : Albrunde fürs Stadtradeln mit EKS Zipfelklatscher

Due to Stadtradeln (city cycling) - everyone on EMTB: exception tour guide Kuddel with Bio Gravel 💪🤦
A very asphalt-heavy round but 3 times a year for Stadtradeln, kilometers have to be made to secure 1st place in the municipality of Lichtenstein again in 2026.
But now only 2 more times and then back to MTB 🤩💪👍
