We arrive in the Vosges late at night but hit the trails at sunrise to make the most of the daylight. To make sure we can ride as many trails as possible, and because Thomas is allergic to pedaling, we use our 4060 Z e-bikes. We stack up laps on some lesser-known trails to get a taste of the area until we decide to mix things up a bit.

As the day progresses, we pull in for a quick baguette pit stop and swap uphill e-assistance for a shuttle. The afternoon is all about laughs and playing around on trail features, before heading for a night at the cozy chalet.

A fresh day means fresh coffee and plenty of fresh turns. We explore the Vosges with Ludo, the "King of the Switchback", leading the way. The chase continues, not only on the trails, but also being chased by a drone as we capture every moment of our adventure.
