Thursday biking again, and the days are
getting all wrong now. At the start of the year the fitness fits well
with the day/night cycle. The fitness increases and the days get
longer. Towards autumn it the opposite with the days.
Lots of Group 1 people there today and
a lot had a story to tell. Setting of towards the Kappler Alm via
Kappel we had questionable weather once again. Overcast, but luckily
no rain. After Kappel a step way uphill, tarmac luckily. A few of
Group 1 had biked in the Karwendel area of the Alps. 2300 metres in
altitude in total. And I had thought my 2050 metres on the way to
Venice was a lot. Talked to a few about that as well. Heidi and some
friends of hers biked the Stoneman tour last week and apparently they
got so high up or so bad weather that it started snowing, in August.
Reached the Kappler Alm and carried on
up towards Sportheim Böck and nearly to the top of the Alpspitze. Up
a rocky steep climb only three managed to bike (Paulina, Hopsing and
Heti) and Heidi fell over trying to get up, but all the rest got off,
by free will or not.
Reaching the highest point of our bike
we had sent Paulina of to the front and she spotted a red sun which
we saw on our way down to the bistro. Went down the front and arrived
for a drink just before night set in. Spent a while at the Bistro
talking about tour, trips and biking in Livigno in September.
Time in saddle: 1 hour 36 min.
Average speed: 10.4 km/h
Distance: 16.77 km
