That was probably the hardest thing I've ever done on a racing bike on the mountain. 14 km with almost 11% on average🙈 Unfortunately, moderate weather and therefore no really nice pictures😬

This tour was still at the top of my bucket list: Riding my road bike over the glacier road up to the Rettenbachferner glacier – the highest cycling point in the EU! I've been here twice before, but only on an e-MTB. Today was the really tough option – and it was a tough one.
