Thursday again, in German it is named
Donnerstag aka “Thunderday”. There was no thunder today, but we
had our bout of rain at about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Once we where on our bikes and at the
Alpspitzhalle it had stopped and the sun was trying to get through
the cloud cover. Group 1 started a bit earlier today, leaving at
18.30 in stead of 18.45. The quarter of an hour does grant us a bit
more time of biking, so it was well worth it.
Set of towards Rindegg along trails
that I didn't know where there, chatting to Sepp along the way. Have
not seen him since last, not the only male present in Group 1 any
more. Through Attlesee and on towards Rückholz, up the Rückholzer
Steig once again. Nice forest track from Inge once again, in places I
would have never known them to be. Sunlight warming us up all the
time now, with a fantastic back light. In Rückholz we stopped at a
Grotte (a chapel built in the side of a hill in a cave). Hetti had
some issue with a bit of a flat tyre, but nothing big. Continued on
until we reached the Hängebrücke, after using the modern cow gates
as whips. The bridge was a bit wet, but all got over in the end.
Carried on with the suns glow illuminating the Alps in red. Back past
Bischofsstein, up Wertachtal and to the Bistro, as the light was
dwindling and we got back just in time to not put our lights on.
Time in saddle: 1 hour 50 min.
Distance: 27.8 km
Average speed: 15.4 km/h
Nice one May
