Tuesday tour, with Nico and Franzy
today. Arrived the trademark five minutes late, but I had calculated
with this, so they just arrived when I was ready.
Set of towards Gschwend round the back
way, once again getting stuck on that fu**** steep and today, wet
grassy slope. Franzy and me both did not manage it, Nico seemingly
being the only person I know that progressively manages it to the
top. Through Gschwend and downhill over the “Römerbrücke”. Had
a small race with Franzy down there and overtook here about half way,
more body mass. Nico being the true MTBiker didn't take the tarmac
curve, but opted to take the short cut along a small trail. Reached
Haslach after a while, where me and Nico took some of our long
clothes of before proceeding uphill. Through Feistenoy, luckily at
this time of year not yet full of cow muck. Missed my intended trail
up the Elleg by a few metres, but got back on trail half way. Uphill
across gravely places until we reached the top to enjoy the sunlit
alpine mountains.
Wanted to continue along the rim of the
Elleg, but one small problem. My back tyre had inconspicuously
deflated itself without a sound. Pumped it back up again to see if it
really had a hole. Had one, so we spent rather a long time at the top
changing my tyre. Not bad scenery and we had the sun up still.
After that down into the forests,
biking along three next to each other. Somehow avoided the puddles on
the forest road and met another biker coming the other way. Put our
long clothes on once we where in the open and then whizzed down the
Elleg to the Grüntensee. Biked along the Grüntensee and then to the
Wertachbrücke where we saw each other of. Took the lazy route home
along the main road and had a shower before writing this blog. All
without a sign of rain (it had hailed about an hour before the bike
ride).
Time in saddle: 1 hour 30 minutes
Distance: 20,5 km
