Berchules Wanderlust


Today the weather was slightly better. We headed over to a place called Berchules, slightly lower down in the mountains so the snow held off. Today had it’s up and down sides, with over grown trails, getting lost, and us pushing up stuff that looked awesome if only ridden in the opposite direction. Bits of the ride were great, but none of it linked up or rode as smoothly as we would have liked. It was quite a long day all in all with a lot of climbing and more of its fair share of pushing/ hiking. The final descent though more than made up for it. It suddenly, at a flick of a switch felt exposed. With loose gravel switchbacks and traverses across the epic landscape definitely made up for the lacklustre riding earlier on.
