Group 1 met at the gym a bit earlier
today, as we had a longer tour planned and the days are getting
shorter again. Set of at 18.33 o'clock, with a total of nine people
on the move today. At first we did a rather new detour towards
Gschwend round the back, behind my families home. After the we saved
going down into Wertachtal by cheating (we used the main road bridge)
and the round the Grüntensee at top speed. Managed it to Wertach no
problem and continued on until we arrived at the bottom of the
Wertacher Hörnle. Our aim was to get to the top, down the other side
and to an Alm on the other side. Biked up and up, in the bottom half
there where some rather step climbs with gravel, but we managed to
stay on our bikes. Stopped for a drink in the middle of a field at
one point, right in the sunshine. I was sweating the water out faster
than I could get it back in again. After a long way up, with Paulina
an Hopsing always shooting up ahead and coming back down again we
reached the Schnitzlertalalm and after that it was only a short ways
to the top. We had something to eat and got our long clothes on
before setting of back downhill along some interesting trails.
Spotted a deer at one point and slowed down a bit, as we where not
sure if it would jump out in front of us. We never saw it again and
apparently there was a hunter in a deer stand we passed, so we
probably helped the deer live and the hunter be a BIT peeved at us.
We carried on to the Alpe Sorg I and
had two or three spirits and some beer to drink before we biked back
to Nesselwang in the black of the night with lights on. Tight
formation for optimal wind usage and we got back no problem before
Moni and me headed back home whilst the rest carried on to the Bisto.
