Today I went back to the Jura. I have already described the route several times. One of my favorites. Today I had a bit of bad luck with the weather. Between km 18 and 30 a cool wind blew against me and it drove fog over the flank of the Chasseral 🥶. It's a shame, because this section of the …

A classic and often described on Komoot. But caught particularly nice weather today. In the afternoon the air dried up a bit, giving you a magnificent panorama of the Alps.

Trying to escape the heat today and driving along the Jura mountains. At the top it was actually quite pleasant at around 22-25 degrees. From the Chasseral to around km 30, I followed the Cretentrail as far as possible because it is simply more exciting to ride than the official MTB route. With a level of difficulty from S0 to …

Happy are those who didn't have to spend this golden autumn day in the fog ... After all the hikes I wanted to spend this day on the bike and dug the bike out of the cellar.

The round starts from Nods, then follows the official MTB route to Métairie de Chuffort. From there I followed a short trail to …
