Mickael
March 6, 2025, Terra Volcana - Au Cœur des Puys

The beginning of the tour is half on asphalt and half on a path between the meadows so meh. But from a few kilometers we find ourselves in the woods at the foot of the volcanoes. Top. Almost no mud. No trees across. Super single. Relatively nice tour

Riding on a carpet of leaves in autumn reminds me of a ski outing in the powder. Same feeling of making your tracks. Otherwise it's starting to sting in the mornings now, 3 degrees, white dew, .. Go out well covered from head to toe. 😅
