Jason Sumner's TransJuly Part 2: TransAlp Mountain Bike Stage Race

By Jason Sumner

Saturday at 10 a.m. Nuno and I are at it again. Two weeks ago it was the TransPyr MTB stage race in Spain. This time it’s the 2012 TransAlp mountain bike stage race, which kicks off in Germany with a 61-mile trip from Oberammergau to Imst. All told, we’ll be on bikes for another 8 days, covering 384 miles across the main chain of the Alps from Germany to Italy with stops in Austria and Switzerland. Final finish line is in Riva del Garda, Italy, on July 21.

Here’s a quick photo gallery from the final day before getting back on the bikes for another long distance adventure.
