Tuesday biking today again, but this
time not with Nico. He is currently in Egypt, enjoying the sunshine.
He probably took all of it with him as we have had rain since Sunday
evening. Is not to cold, thought.
Heidi picked up me and Dad and we set
of towards Jons to met up with the rest that had abandoned race
biking for mountain biking today. The weather was a bit willy today,
so we took our usual tour from Nesselwang up to Maria Trost. We had
to get our long clothes of before biking uphill, so we stopped at the
bridge near the bottom to store our long things away. After some
biking uphill we reached Maria Trost and the weather had not worsened
(still overcast) so we carried on up Heartbrake Hill. We got above
the lowest cloud layer at one point and had some nice pictures of the
countryside. Reached the crossing to the Kappler Alm after just about
an hour of biking and continued on to the Kappler Alm where we got
our long and waterproof clothes back on.
Just as we left it started poring down
and I thought it was hilarious because we had just reached the point
of “no turning round”. Jon said his goodbye to us further along
and biked down to Kappel and then back home, whilst Heidi, Dad and I
continued on towards the Gundhütte. I wanted to go back home via
Pfronten, but Heidi and Dad thought that that would be to many
kilometres and instead chose the “short cut” strait across the
Edelsberg. Biked up that, spotting some deer and otherwise not seeing
a lot, as we where in the midst of the clouds.
Reached the top after another few
hundred metres of altitude and biked down all the way to Nesselwang
via the Bayernkurve.
On that day we had only met one other
biker and where all by ourselves the rest of the time. Went back to
Heidis to wash our bikes and then back home for a shower.
Time in saddle: 2 hours 45 min.
Average speed: 8.0 km/h
Distance: 22 km
