Was greeted by a cold blast of wind
when I went outside to get my bike out of the garage today. Spending
all day inside, outside looked warm with the sun being out nearly all
day but the wind dropped the temperatures down a lot. After getting a
long top on Daniel and I set of to the gym, picking up Heidi on the
way.
At the gym we were then joined by some
Group 2 people who had been cycling all day somewhere in the Kemptner
Wald. At 18.45 Group 1 set of up to Bayerstetten. With some good
behind wind we proceeded along a trail which we came out from just in
front of Wertach. After Wertach it was up and then down the Elleg,
and then up again (funny logic). At the top of the Elleg the wind was
cooling down the temperature to about 6 °C and there was snow on the
mountains. It had snowed a few days prior and that was in May. If you
live here it can snow any time in the year, I guess.
So after cycling along the top of the
Elleg we went down a downhill trail which according to Inge and Heidi
had once been a lot better.
After that along the road through
Petersthal and then uphill some more. Along the way I was getting
colder and colder, so next time I know to take some long cycling
trousers with me, if the weather conditions are the same. At some
point we put our lights on as it was getting dark and then proceeded
through Oy-Mittelberg, Dohle and home. I went strait home for some
tee and a bath to warm me up and some continued on to the Bistro.
