Total summary

Approximately 500km, approximately 13000m elevation gain, approximately 60 hours of gross riding time

Conclusion from everyone: Physically and technically, we were able to complete the tour without major problems. Thank God, no serious injuries, despite a few critical situations. Although we were well prepared and had plenty of spare parts with us, we hardly needed any of them.

The weather was also very merciful to us, initially there was a lot of rain, but in total less than predicted. Later, we were lucky a few times, it rained just before or after us but didn't catch us anymore.

Physically, it was of course very exhausting but we had no major additional problems.

We are now looking forward to being back home. Franz and Willi are taking another week's vacation at Lake Garda with their families, while the rest of us are sitting on the train back home and realizing that bike transport is not always easy and cheap (but we already knew that).
