Finally it was time again for some holidays at Lake Garda. Of course it wasn´t just a holiday for relaxing,it was even time for some biking, and so I rented a 29MTB for two days. A Raven29R was my choice at the FOCUS-Testcenter. I always wanted to ride a 29MTB, I have to say it, it was worth it...
On the firstday, I took a trip into the back country of Garda. I used the service of TrackSpace-Software to find me a trip of about 55km and 1700m of altitude.
