Alb Crossing 2025 Aalen - Reutlingen

After a creative break, here's a new video from Sten on Tour: on the "Alb Crossing," a 6-stage MTB/gravel bike tour from Aalen via Reutlingen to Tuttlingen. The original tour covers approximately 370 km and 7,000 meters of elevation gain, always along the Albtrauf. The tour is wonderfully described on the website https://www.schwaebischealb.de/rad/mo..., where many other premium bike tours in the Swabian Alb can also be found. I had three days, so I rode the first three stages from Aalen to Reutlingen. I haven't trained much this year; I only started to put some elevation gain in my legs four weeks before... so it was questionable whether three days with 4,000 meters of elevation gain would be "possible"... but yes, it was okay, but that was enough. Another technical tip: the Shimano GRX-810 works perfectly with a CS-M7000 cassette (11-40), even if the specs say otherwise. A gear ratio of 0.75 (30/40) makes it easier to climb the ramps. After Relive further reduced the features of its basic version and no longer allows photos and waypoints to be added, I came across https://mapdirector.com/. Beautiful, highly flexible, and highly recommended. My Komoot collections with hikes and bike tours: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/user/545...
