Episode 13 brings us back to Leogang for another full day on the bikes with Bernie and Jhosi. It’s late in the season now, and with winter creeping closer, this was probably one of the last good-weather days we’ll get this year.
Despite the cold air and a few frosty patches near the top, conditions were pretty much perfect. We hit all our favourite lines — Hangman 1 & 2, Alteschmiede, and Flying Gangster — before wrapping up the day with something new: the Schwarzleo Trail.
The Schwarzleo is a bit more enduro-style, so it felt tight in places on the big downhill bikes, but the golden autumn light shining through the trees made it a really special run down into the valley. Always good to find new lines this late in the season!
Winter is definitely closing in fast, but with Leogang and Schladming both staying open for a few more weeks, we’ll hopefully squeeze in a few more rides before the whiteout begins.
