Life is not a Practice

Our third day in Italy. Once again we used a cable car to get up in to the mountains and then continued on up steep tracks to an Alm for lunch.



Lots of interesting trails all the way back down to the hotel just beating the thunder and lightning.

32 kms and 1015 meters of climbing (without the 900 in the cable car). Track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=oxghkpupzaoywogq

Our second day in Italy and a superb tour planned by Wera.



We used the Meran 2000 cable car to get up in to the mountains and then enjoyed some exciting trails and stunning views. On one descent I went over the handlebars and landed on my head directly on a sharp rock. Luckily my helmet took the impact and was destroyed but my head was OK.

47.7 km and 1414 meters of climbing (without the 1000 meters in the cable car). Track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=izivjcmawajuypmt

First day cycling during our autumn mountain bike trip. We stopped off in Schlanders on our way to Meran and cycled up to an Alp. Ate a salad with the ingredients fresh out of the garden.



On the way down we followed an exciting bike trail (http://www.bikesport-magazin.de/holyhansen) which was great fun.

18.6km and 915 meters of climbing. Track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=nkhhfegyfozfwmrx
