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

I often talk about how gelato stops are important elements of my Italian rides. It's only logical that I "joined" @q36_5 's Team Gelato. (i.e. purchased the jersey.)
One of the longest, one of the prettiest climbs in the Alps. An iconic bit on the Italian side of the Passo dello Spluga are the few very short switchbacks that are stacked on each other. Leads to lots of epic pictures that road cyclists dream of.
Me and Fausto, a story in four episodes. Fausto's monument stands next to the church of the Madonna del Ghisallo, 580m above Lago di Como. For decades, the local priest collected bicycle memorabilia and displayed them in the church. Today, long after his death, the church at the end of this iconic climb is a destination of "pilgrimage" for cyclists. Read: have an excuse for a day out at the Lario and its awesome deep blue waters and high altitude mountains on all sides. Today, I was nearly alone, but full of happiness about finally riding like it's Summer. Well, until the sweat started to run into my eyes...
Warm summer weather two days after the pass opening following a long period of cold: This is the perfect recipe for the first high altitudes ride of the season.
Sometimes you just catch the right conditions for a perfect ride. Today was that day.
Me and her, stones and the sea. For a change of routines, we took up a hike while we escaped the rain in Lombardy. Camogli is the place in Liguria I've visited most often. I've still discovered unseen treasures, like this abandoned fortress and that crack in the earth that told of how tectonics shape the earth.
Tulip time, but not at the usual place! When Spring in Switzerland brings up unexpected memories of riding in Holland.
More than 300km in one day. Just last year, I would have told you: I'm no professional. I can't do it. Then a friend did it and I found my curiosity to try. It takes a good route with anti-boring storytelling, some luck (tailwind all day), and a little bit of mental endurance. And a great bike. I finished at Lake Geneva and the Corniche East of Lausanne is one of the most amazing places to ride your bike in this country.
Last spring forced us to be apart for four months. This spring, we keep exploiting holes in the system with (white and not so white) lies. Out on the ride today, I enjoyed it so much that I felt again how much I had missed it last spring. Heirs to movement together. For us, it's literally true: #outsideisfree
