Because I haven’t had to endure any real winter in the last 15 months, the freezing cold in the mountains really gets to me now. There are more ideal conditions to ride a bike, but I don’t always have a choice. At least it was sunny and taking pictures is a lot of fun – apart from the cold fingers, as soon as you take the gloves off. The highlight of the day was a 5200m / 17.000ft high mountain pass. The air was so clear, one could see incredibly far. I really had the feeling to be on the rooftop of the world.
