Great day!
The view at the top of the Matterhorn was breathtaking
The route was very beautiful, the dirt road was very compact, the battery did its job until the end of the race. Some sections had an almost prohibitive slope. There are many stream crossings.
Despite the altitude the temperature was really pleasant!
Experience to repeat!
