The road through the eight-kilometer-long Via Mala Gorge begins at this striking rock behind Thusis. Even in Roman times, the "Bad Way" was an important connection to the Alpine passes of San Bernardino and Splügen.

Yesterday I visited the workshop in Chiavenna, wiped out the freewheel, it's mostly working again, but it still slips completely under heavy load. So today it's just a gentle and steady climb, no pedaling, no driving uphill☝️ Pure thrill 🫣

A very beautiful route in Val Ferrera. It's very quiet as the road ends in Juf. The reservoir is already in Italy. A nice tunnel to the lake. A good prologue to our TSR weekend.

A cold, almost frosty morning in Viamala Canyon and the endless climb... It wasn't a day when I was at my peak. But such rides are also important and give an amazing amount for both the body and the head! 💚💚🚵🏼‍♀️💚💚
Juf, the highest permanently inhabited town in Europe!
