Too much air in the tires, too little in the lungs

Top motivated for our first tour, the choice was ultimately made for something more challenging. Recommendation from Bernhard and Lisa. Start at about 1900 meters above sea level, destination Fort Malamot. After 100 meters of altitude, we realized that it will probably be steeper, higher, more strenuous, difficult and longer than originally expected. Our gravel tours did not prepare us very well. Nevertheless, we managed to make it up to Fort Malamont. We were rewarded with an incredible view, baguette and brie. The descent started super flowy, partly over beautiful ridges. Then it became steep - not rideable for us. After that, it continued super flowy. Due to our modest fitness, we decided to shorten the tour a bit and saved ourselves 300 meters of altitude and the round trip around the lake. Arriving at the campsite totally exhausted and feeling like 43°C, the rest of the day was chilled. For dinner, we cooked mushroom sauce with pasta using our makeshift windscreen. Tomorrow, we plan something lower and shorter.
