Bismarck Tower above Ettlingen

Highlight • Monument

You often can't climb the tower, you don't even have to, you also have a great view over Ettlingen from the foot of the tower.

When you're blasting down the trails, there's usually nothing to talk about :D It was great to release some adrenaline and hack down the trails :D

Thunderstorm warning ignored and right 😁 Today we went up to the SMDH upper and lower section and badger in between with 2-3 practice rounds at the small drop at the top and Krasser trail as a conclusion.

It was something completely different to sit on the full-suspension buck after a few months of hard gravel, but it was fun!

After work I went back out on the trails for a short but intense ride. The downpour this morning had left its mark and it was extremely humid - but the most annoying thing was the mosquitoes :D

But it didn't matter when I was having fun - and even more so at the final Kilkenny!

Enjoy the weather today and really work out 🚀

My legs and my battery lasted a total of eight laps on the Dachs and the Strommasten-Downhill (SMDH) - after more than 30km and 1500 meters in altitude with 50% trail share, it was done, everyone, broken 🤩😴
