Photos from upper left to lower right

The final countdown. "How far is Lake Garda?" "We are quite close. Just an ondulated track with a parking garage's drive-up at the end ..."
Close to finish. Greetings of Heidi of Chiemsee, Martin of Fahrtwind, Ulrike of the Coast, Andreas and Thomas of Suebia, Siegfried of Mannheim, Helmut of Vogelsberg, and Liisa of Frankfurt.
Lake Garda. After six great and challenging days and a few fast miles later we meet the finish-line!
Party time. Sonja has a glas of prosecco for everybody. It's a cultural clash when we meet all the people in Torbole after several quiet days in the mountains: mountain bikers all around!

Over the hill. Nine weeks ago Ulrike did her first ride on a mountainbike. Now she has conquered the Alps. Congratulations! ;-)
Shopping. Helmut has changed his outer appearance from head to toe. Tired but happy he has managed a challenge, he didn't dare to dream of a year ago.
Street scene. A last glance at the streets and alleys of Torbole ...
The end. Many thanks to all our co-bikers for such a pleasant week, to Team Fahrtwind for all the care and the professional organisation, and special thanks to our families for their great patience and support ... :-)
