Join me for an epic road trip towards the Alps!Setting off at 18:30 for an adventure blending vanlife and my passion for sports.
In this episode:
* Van Tour: A quick look at my setup, featuring an integrated shower, kitchen/fridge area, sleeping quarters, and even a bike wash station.
* The Gear: For this trip, I’m bringing along my e-bike for the mountains and my gravel bike.
First Night & Breakfast in the Van:
My first stop brings me to the edge of the Black Forest, right on the border of Alsace, for a peaceful first night in the camper. The next morning, I dive into the well-stocked fridge for breakfast, only to realize I’m missing a key item: a grill for the bread! I had to make a pit stop (in Pforzheim) to pick up that missing gear before hitting the trail.
Freiburg im Breisgau Pit Stop: A must-visit location as it’s one of Germany’s premier mountain biking hubs. I took on a 35 km loop through the Black Forest, including several stunning trails.
The “Canadian Trail”: I take you along what is, in my opinion, the **best trail** I have ever ridden. It’s a technical and “gnarly” ride packed with jumps, rocks, roots, holes, and gaps—pure bliss!
The journey wraps up as I reach my destination right by my apartment, marking the end of what was likely one of the **best days of my year**.
