Thursday Fence Trail

Was a bit de-motivated setting of for biking today. I had been at work instead of college and was spent. But as the weather didn’t look to bad, the typical Thursday storm clouds still appearing thought, I got my biking gear out and set of with dad for the last Thursday trip before my England Tour (which you will be able to follow here).

Arriving at the gym, Group 2 immediately seamed to know where they were going and started instantly. Group 1 took a bit longer to decide but we set of towards Gschwend and then the Grüntensee. After the Grüntensee it was up the Elleg with something akin to storm clouds hovering in the distant, but we didn't mind. After a load of fences we reached the top which gave us a very sunny view of the Rottachspeicher. Then downhill (where my breaks failed a bit) and down a super trail which Inge took us through. All with red and golden sunlight streaming through the trees. Then of to the Kreuzweg, before which Hopsing had a flat tire, and back home for a drink and talk via the Oyer Moorgang.
A super track with brilliant scenery.
Track at GPSies and pictures at Picasa. Group 2 info here and a report by Sepp here.

Time in saddle: 2 hours 30 min.
Distance: 37.8 km
Average speed: 14.9 km/h

Who is the blogger?

After this blog being up for a while, I have finally decided to say something about myself.

Well, first of the usual things. I am currently twenty-two, come from Germany and am currently on a backpacker trip in Australia. I visited school and graduated with A levels, which is very important here in Germany. My parents both come from England and decided the Alps in Germany where a nice spot to bring up children. I have a brother, who is becoming a carpenter and a sister who is currently in Portugal living the same life as I am in Australia.

What I like doing, as most is written in this blog, is biking, skiing and mainly doing stuff outside. Taking pictures of all these activities is also something I relish doing, as a single picture says more than a thousand words and I like taking pictures and sharing them.
That doesn't mean I am outside all the time. I do play a few PC games with friends as well.

That in short sums up what I do/am at the time of writing. Above this I will be posting more frequently what I may have planned in the near future where a blog can be expected.
