After the start, we follow the Salwey valley, which is flat at first and then climbs steadily to Faulebutter. The descent to Schönholthausen provides some respite again. The SauerlandRadring is flat as far as Fretter, then you have to climb about 150 meters in altitude twice in succession. Once you arrive in Bracht, the tour is initially undulating until you reach Schmallenberg. This is where the return route begins, initially up the Lenne to Winkhausen. Here we turn briefly into the Sorpetal to tackle the ascent to Holthausen. After passing through Bad Fredeburg, the first thing to do is to let the "chain move to the left". The steep ascent leads us to Altenilpe. After Dorlar, a constant up and down awaits our already stressed legs. Interval training of a special kind. The last few kilometers in the valley of the Marpe are then conciliatory again and offer time to cycle the accumulated lactate out of the legs.
