Merry Christmas everyone. Weather wise
it is absolutely sh**t here at the moment. Normally you would expect
the Alps to be covered in a few metres of snow, but once again not
this year. Third year in a row by now. Last year Dad and I managed to
go skiing in tolerable conditions in Oberstdorf, but even they have
no snow this year.
So we got our bikes out in 3°C. I
picked up dad on the way and after we had got ourselves dressed up
warmly set of up towards Sportheim Böck. Had to get rid of one layer
of clothes at the bottom already, as we where sweating and the rest
was spent biking up and talking about the world. Once we came out in
to the open we where nearly blown over by strong winds, but we
powered on. To top that we got some snow a bit over the middle
station, but it luckily was only a few centimetres deep. Our tyres
had no problem. Reached Sportheim Böck and got a Glühwein and some
goulash soup to warm up.
Got everything on we had for the way
down and we acctually didn't freeze on the way down. The wind had
picked up and was throwing snow in our face, but not to much. Met Caro on the way up and had a small chat. All these weird Turnverein
people going biking on Christmas day in rainy conditions. Had a stop
in the Explorer hotel for a coffee and then went home for a shower
and some turkey later.
Some people are just crazy :-) Thanks!
