Downhill to Neuchâtel

The 1000 m downhill descent to Neuchatêl lake was going to be my hard-earned payback from the Jura mountains.

Though sometimes downhill is just down a hill. This was a bone-juddering ride down a very very steep forest hiking trail. The big loose rocks were hiding amidst the tall grass ready to slip as soon as my wheel touched them. Had to grip tight and stand in a pouncing position most of the way. Turns out Schopper can handle mountain biking better than my gloveless hands.

Not the freewheeling descent I had imagined, but definitely a good adventure ride!Læs mere
