Disease
In Summer 2020, I had been suffering from an autoimmune encephalitis.
Mongolia
As preparation for a long and unsupported trip to the wilderness, we travelled with our heavily loaded bikes in the western part of Mongolia.
Another emergency repair
Enjoying a fast downhill ride is amazing. But the fun came to an abrupt end when Marc realized that his front carrier was moving a bit more than it should. Marc assumed that a screw had become lose or that he even lost the screw as it had happened in Read more…
Storm in Mongolia
