One of the reasons I’m setting my own finish line is the fact that I am experiencing physical change, mainly loosing upper body muscle mass. A trade off Im not willing to push ahead of surf season. https://youtu.be/0AiHNeIpuDc

There has been some heavy rains lately which now colors the river.

Ecrins does not dissapoint, right from the start.

Here we go ! Tour des Ecrins !

Village downtime and contemplating the road ahead. Weighing trade offs against realisations so far. Came to the conclusion that I want to go ahead and start stage 3, however only so I can experience the national park and the mountainrange of les Ecrins, known as Le tour des Ecrins. Meaning, I will set my own finish line.

Reached Col du Lautaret and the end of stage 2 on a high. Very happy to have made it this far. The journey has given me a lot of answers and I gave myself some time off the trail. Stage 2 summary 16 days —> avg 4.3 km/h

Moving through Arsine.

Motivation back on top after a few days rest.

Stage 3 - 497 km Col du Lautaret —> Viviers The Écrins National Park (The Maurienne) (The Belledonne Range)
