Set my alarm yesterday to wake me up
today at 9.00, but slept right through it. So I asked Dad if he would
like to cycle up the Alpspitze with me after lunch. Mum also joined
us but she jogged up.
Set of after lunch with blue sky and a
mountain to go up. Mum disbanded of her bike at the bottom and more
walked than jogged up the mountain as we cycler are so slow. Up we
went and had to get of a few times as there were some trees lying in
the way. Heard the occasional thunder but thought nothing of it as
the sky was blue. Reached the top and had a drink. We then saw what
had caused the rumbling as there were thunderclouds in the Alps
behind the Alpspitze. Started spitting again but Dad pressed on to
the cross. All three reached it and after enjoying the view Mum set
of down to the Kombibahn to get a lift down. Dad and I got our
jackets on (he had a rain jacket “grumble”), and then set
of along a FOOT path to get down. I walked quiet a bit at the top and
Dad staid on his bike a lot. I tried three times to cycle and fell off
three times. After getting on the fourth time I staid on and we
cycled to Bayerstetten and then onwards to Nesselwang to have an ice
with Rhiannon. After that we washed of our bikes as we had cycled
through mud a LOT and then had a shower. Had a loot of fun coming
down and getting spatterd.
