Atlas Mountain Race is fakenews. Hasn't really happened yet. Still too fresh.

Any content from it still needs to mature. Like good cheese. Kyrgyz cheese, in fact.

Yes. Like Kurut! 😅

So here is my well cured day 11 report of the last Silk Road Mountain Race. 😉😄

Während andere schon festeweg Jahresrückblicke und was sonst noch posten, bin ich gerade mal bei Tag 10 des Silk Road Mountain Races angelangt... 🙈😅

Gerade frisch veröffentlicht: Day 10 Recap mit Start aus Naryn, über den Iyri-Suu und dann hinein in das Tal des Smaller Naryn River...

This amazing country. Never ending pistes and wide horizons ever and ever again.

Here along the Chinese border. Leaving the Blue Caravan behind.

That view... 🤩

... was super-hard earned, though.

Slowly also populating my Silk Road Mountain Race album on flickr:

On another note:

Felt suspiciously amazing for a first ride after Kyrgyzstan today!

Apparently l slacked so hard there that it was indeed a pure high altitude camp? 🙈😎😅

Can you do a more typical „bikepacking bike in Kyrgyztan“ photo than one leaning against a Yurt? #BAAY (Bike against a Yurt) instead of #BAAW 😅😀

To tent or not to tent (at the Silk Road Mountain Race) - that is the question.

A few ponderings alongside some photos of my really lovely camp in Kyrgyzstan:

Silk Road Mountain Race. Wow - what an adventure!

When I applied for the race I wasn’t really sure whatfor. There was no really strong „why“.

Wrote this and quite a bit more on my Insta (sorry, Mastodon, Threads and Bluesky simply don't allow enough characters even for such super short story telling). So hit the link for the words and the short video reel of my first thoughts on the race.

Annie, the only female single speeder in the race explains her reasoning for going single speed with lost voice on the race podcast: "Because I listened to a podcast last November and it sounded pretty cool" 😅

From the podcast it sounds in general like many of the participants are "pretty cooked". Huge respect for them keeping going.

Morgens früh Heissluftballons am Himmel. Beim Frühstück auf der Ausflugsterrasse ertränkt sich eine Wespe in Nuss-Nougat-Creme. „Ausfall TV Signal über den Glasfaseranschluss“, nach ein paar Stunden behoben. Ein Paket wegbringen, Staubsaugen, der Grosstante zum Geburtstag gratulieren (97!). Zuschauen, wie die grossartige Meaghan Hackinen beim #SRMR2025 als erste Frau ins Ziel kommt. Den Herrn Papa daran erinnern, genug zu trinken.

Nice podcast interview with Robin Gemperle on his recent Tour Divide win / record.

Interesting things:
- Sleep is important to be fast!
- He will compete in Silk Road next week (will be exciting to see him facing off with Alex McCormack)
