Grandiose landscape; great trip - and it should get even better ...
Start in Thann in drizzle, over Lac de Wildenstein Markstein to the Grand Ballon in powerful gusts and 8 degrees 😬. Descent over Col Amic and Goldbach 🥶. Knee Tep holds and the incentive was the Tarte de myrtilles👍
Actually a nice tour. If it weren't for the perceived 3875 motorcycles. Unfortunately, very few overtake considerately with enough distance 🤨
