Ronja

Cap number: 79

Location: Zürich

Bike: My bike is my Mom’s custom made „Dust“ Fully. It‘s a very light carbon frame featured with the fanciest of SRAM components. It‘s light, it‘s got electronic shifting and full-suspension - the opposite of the bikes I normally ride. Let‘s hope this will make up for the missing training. Thanks Mom for letting me borrow your bike!

Key items of kit: I try to take as little as possible but I don‘t dare leaving the full sleeping kit at home. So I decided to bring at least my warm sleeping bag. The rest is mainly the mandatory equipment, a lot of food and some warmer clothes for the night.

Michael Vauthey

Age: 36

Cap number: 43

Location: Valais, Switzerland

Bike: I will be riding my Sour Pasta Party steel hardtail. Hopefully the low gear ratio (10-50 cassette with 30T chainring) will get me through the massive elevation. I have a dropper post for the technical descents and some 2.35" Vittoria Mezcal tires that will hopefully keep me rolling fast and steady. The wheels are the HUNT Trail Wide.

Key items of kit: The frame bag is custom from Totka Bags. In the front I have a 12L dry bag with mounted on the Blue Ridge handlebar harness from Rogue Panda. Given the short duration of the event I chose to just take my SOL Escape bivy (not mat, no sleeping bag). Hopefully I don't regret my choice. For the night I will be using a Fenix BC26R light in the front and Fenix BC05R in the back. To charge my electronics I have an Anker PowerCore III 20000 mAh battery. Let's roll!!
