After riding for ultra’-long, one usually notices it in the body here and there, mostly even a week later (look at my numb fingers). And before my brain romanticizes everything, it’s time for a race recap from the @theunknown_race We got the coordinates of the first checkpoint at 6 am. I planned the first route within 10 minutes during my breakfast. We started at 7 am in Vienna at @starbike_wien The first 25km were neutralized, so it was relaxed chatting with familiar and new people. There was even time for a communal pee-pit stop in the bushes before we climbed up the cobbles to Kahlenberg. After that, the path became quite lonely, with an ever-chilling headwind towards the west. By 12 o’clock, I was in a snowstorm, already wearing my rain pants and pulling my hood over my ears. Before reaching the first checkpoint, I wanted to put an end to this – it seemed infinitely stupid to ride a bike in this wet cold for days – but the train station just didn’t come. Sometimes it’s good that scratching isn’t so easy. Because when I finally reached the station, at the ‘Gesäuse’ mountain range, the road suddenly dried up, and I shouted to the sky as the sun briefly came out. That was a sign… So it happened that I found myself in the evening with several other riders in a kebab shop, where I shivered while devouring falafel and looked for a place to stay for the night. After a snowy pass descent, a bed after 360km and 4500m elevation gain for 3.5h was an oasis! I continued at 4:40 am, the second checkpoint was in Slovenia. Somehow, I chose a route that no one else took, a bit more elevation gain but fewer kilometers (and earlier Slovenian sun). It seemed like a good idea until I had to wait 40 minutes at a construction site. You can imagine how maddening that was – but before I emotionally lost it, I decided to have a stretching session. My knees thanked me! Yoga for the win. Arriving at the 2nd checkpoint, I was informed that I would have to ride the last 300km back the same way… done. Phew. [continue in the comments]

For the Easter days, we again adopted „Italian“ nicknames, and so it happened that I, aka Italjana, cycled from Bologna to Elba (and back) with Cappuchali @ali___popp and Stefano Calzone @stephan_wieser (who both showed off their „extra“ bike riding style when I filmed…). Isola d’Elba and Tuscany were beautiful as expected, despite Sahara sand in the stormy air. But my highlight was the Apennines on the way back: narrow, paved roads, lots of altitude meters, and no other person (not one car) in sight for miles. So, we greeted all the cats, horses, and whatever else crossed our path along the way… Buongiorno!

The @theunknown_race in a nutshell, as captured by @bite.of.me – battling the cold or plotting clever routes. Investing just the right amount of time, neither too much nor too little, was crucial when planning this 1200km-long treasure hunt (on the go). In an attempt to be time-efficient, I seized the opportunity during a route planning stop to indulge in a nutritious feast, as here: a whole pack of nuts and berries. In the sun!!! ☀️ Unpaid Ad following because of brand mentioning —— @specializedde #iamspecialized #ultracycling #bikepacking @supernova__design #supernova @gloryfy_unbreakable #beunbreakable #roadcyling #adventurecycling #bikelife

„Allez, pédalez, Bonne Chance Les filles“ – That’s what a maybe 6-year-old sang to us at the start of the climb towards Petite Ballon. It’s funny because his melody accompanied us for the rest of our trip, and whenever things got a little exhausting, we sang this to motivate each other. The Vosges surprised me with their beauty even more than I expected – it felt like the „little Pyrenees“ to me. It was my first time going bikepacking with a trio of women, and it was awesome. We found beautiful bivouac spots along the route, and besides indulging in cake, coffee, ice cream, and all those lovely things, we covered more than 600km and almost 12,000 meters of ascent in four days – with the weather on our side. I love everything about this trip!

„Allez, pédalez, Bonne Chance Les filles“ – That’s what a maybe 6-year-old sang to us at the start of the climb towards Petite Ballon. It’s funny because his melody accompanied us for the rest of our trip, and whenever things got a little exhausting, we sang this to motivate each other. The Vosges surprised me with their beauty even more than I expected – it felt like the „little Pyrenees“ to me. It was my first time going bikepacking with a trio of women, and it was awesome. We found beautiful bivouac spots along the route, and besides indulging in cake, coffee, ice cream, and all those lovely things, we covered more than 600km and almost 12,000 meters of ascent in four days – with the weather on our side.
