Winter bivouac camp on the bike to clear the head. Got to see a nice sunrise over the Vercors 🌄. More hike-a-bike than I'd like to admit but a good time nonetheless. Ça grimpe ! #bikepacking #bivouac #AdventureBiking #AdventureCycling #cycling #biking #mtb

Eine verschneite Landschaft mit einem gewundenen Pfad von Fußabdrücken, der zu einem sanften Hügel führt, mit einem einsamen Baum und einer Kulisse aus immergrünen Bäumen unter einem klaren blauen Himmel.
