January 7, 2025,13. MTB-Tour Benicassim / die große Runde zu dritt auf 830m

A somewhat difficult tour with steep climbs. Lots of rubble that splashed away under the rear wheel. Everything was handled well, despite having the flu a week before. Keeps the old men fit 💪

Fantastic hike to El Bartolo. El Bartolo is the highest peak in the Les Palmes mountain range and offers breathtaking views of Oropesa, Benicassim, and the regional capital, Castellon. The ascent and descent are simply amazing 👍👌.
