Chocolate is my vegetable, and ice cream is my fruit. German is my language, and Europe is my home.

Climbing is all about the magic moment that you accelerate one final time to reach the peak.

The weather was interesting for this edition of the #alpenchallenge - once we entered the clouds, it took a while to leave them again. While it was cold, these were my temperatures, and the legs felt well prepared. This was the first and smallest challenge of the three events that I signed up for this year. It was great to have such a good start with it. I'm more confident than I was before.

Every good ride needs a good gelato stop.

On the top of the Grödner Joch, we had finally completed all climbing of the day. More than 3000m in one day: that's something I rarely do. We climbed up the entire Val Gardena and then did all four climbs of the Sella Ronda afterwards. The only thing missing was gelato.

A one hour coffee break at @unibocconi was enough to lose my passport, my GoPro, my notebook, and my external hard disk with the repository of memories between 2007 and 2017 to some thieves. They left me my bike. To sooth the pain, I started building new memories and made a loop around Lake Como, then took a quick swim. What else shall you do but be alive? I love the lake.

Getting off the saddle, I stood a minute, then I decided that it's more comfy to sit. 😁 The Valsugana bike track must not be ignored. Gorgeous landscape and a nice change to scenery of Alto Adige.

Start of the final climb. #girowashere

While I've cycled a lot also this year, I noticed today that it had been a while since I did an epic climb. Ascension Day seemed a fitting choice. The Passo Manghen was long and I gradually got slower and I've climbed such mountains already better. That changes nothing about the moment you reach the top. Sadly though, the traces of the heavy storm last fall are just too visible everywhere.

Keeping the pace, setting the pace in a race: it's deeply satisfying.
