For the record - I made it to the top (in a haze of 2T, a no brainer for this route) a few months later, with 3 kids on 85's
It is steep, but the kids made it.
Well done, but aren't those pics from the opposite side which we also rode for a bit but turned around due to petrol?
I'm taking Wuppertal side/mountain.... geewizz, I still remember that vividly, that ridiculously steep ascent (wasn't a track) along that erosion gully on the right in which I fell, blou gat & all
But anyway, got a 300 now..... perhaps we should go there again 'for old time's sake', after all we're both a leeeeetle older now?
