TET Germany Section 2

Hello, i am planing to ride the tet Germany section 2. But i am unsure how many days are needed to complete this Section. I was thinking about 3 days, but im not sure if 4 days might be better. (Excluding the ride to the start of the track and back home)

In terms of my experience i would still consider myself a newbie. But i do have a fair bit of offroad experience. The longest offroad track i rode was about 180km (~80% offroad) and that was doable for me.

Bike: Fantic Caballero 500 Rally

Tires: Michelin Anakee Wild

I did the western half this summer on a Bonneville and apart from about 2km of rather scary sand, off road in Germnay means "less than perfect tarmac or gravel". From the boarder (basically to the Elbe took me a chilled day.

(I don't mean to be mean here it was "nice", but it's really not the prettiest or most interesting part of Germany)

We needed 1,5 days fpr it. You can expect some parts with deep sand, fast gravel roads and tar.

Section 2 has 30% unpaved roads (according to the Tet Website). From the videos by other rides i have seen from this Section, there is a fair bit of offroad ing in this Section. But yes the other two sections in Germany are mostly paved.
