Typical Thursday set up once more. The
day tends to be nice and sunny with a few clouds here and there and
towards the evening it always darkens down. Set of from home with a
rare drop of water here and there. Felt it more than saw it and
whilst waiting for Heidi and Gabi had a chat with the neighbour.
Reaching the gym we were greeted by a
fair amount of people, even Wulfi, which is a rare sight in these
weather conditions. Set of at 18.45, as usual, and headed of towards
the Haslacher Alm. Instead of going strait past it we turned left a
bit before and continued up Stubental to the Stubentalalm. Moni and
me stuck to the back to conserve our energy for later uphill trips.
We heard Sepps gears messing about, a problem which will most likely
be repaired sooner than later. A short walk and we were near the
Stubentalalm. Down a bit and then right, up the Pfeiferberg. Did a
few stops on that part of the trip, as I have never been up there
before and wanted to get some pictures. We rallied at a few stops and
walked through some mud to get to the Obere Reuterwanne. Long clothes
on as we were heading downhill, a few nosy cows standing nearby. Sepp
opened a gate for us and apparently closed it again when half of the
group had passed through. We met a bit downhill at which point I
heard a strange whistling sound. I asked if somebody had a puncture
and it turned out Sepp did have one in his front wheel. After
repairing the puncture we sped down to Wertach, with a short detour
over Bichel. Considering the dark sky, we went along the right side
of the Grüntensee and later in Wertachtal, Inge suggested we take
the route up to Reichenbach. Shortly after we set of it started
spitting some raindrops so we high tailed it to Gschwend instead and
then strait back to the Bistro. Hopsing arrived shortly after and
told us he had met Wulfi coming the other way, who was fleeing the
dark storm clouds that Group 2 had been biking towards.
A fun evening with lively discussions
in the Bistro.
