Life is not a Practice

Out with Max. On the climb to Maria rain he broke his chain. Luckily Jons Adventures opened extra to mend it (Thanks Jon). After that we cycled to Bayerstetten and then round the Grüntensee.

The report written by Sepp is at http://home.allgaeu.org/a3453/2009%20Bike%20Season%20ger.htm and starts with "Zu unserer "Vollmond-Bike-Tour" ... Nach kurzer Diskussion fiel die Entscheidung ..."

First "Tuesday Ride". Just Heidi and I. Jon is starting after Easter. He must be fit enough already. A gentle flat ride to Vils and back. Showed Heidi some new bits of Pfronten that she didn't know :-)

A short spring tour after work. The route still had a lot of snow so I had to follow the "route of least resistance" where there was the least snow. I still ended up pushing or carrying my bike a few times.

Sunday afternoon ride to the Alatsee and back. First time in shorts and short arm tricot this year. Some snow/ice on the south side of the Alatsee but otherwise a lovely spring day. I think this is the first time that I have ridden to the Alatsee from the Weissensee side. It seems a lot further than from the Vils side.

Rode to Kempten to collect the car from the garage. Cheaper than the train. Took a few attempts to find the bridge over the Iller.

First ride with the "Bike Club" this year. A nice flat ride to start the season. Mostly road because of all the snow but a few wet and muddy tracks.

The text that Sepp wrote about the tour is at http://home.allgaeu.org/a3453/2009%20Bike%20Season%20ger.htm starting with "An alle Stubenhocker, Kanapeelieger und sonstigen Bewegungsmuffel: DER FRÜHLING IST DA!!!! Also bewegt Eure Hintern und kommt zum Radeln!!! ... Diese 14 wilden Radler ... "
The only thing he got wrong was that it was Martin and I that took the wrong turn after Jon shouted "LEFT".

2nd ride this year. Same as yesterday but clockwise. Bottom was hurting all the way. Spring is definitely on its way and the snow is melting fast.

I needed somewhere to save snippets of information while out having fun. Ideally it should be possible to do so from my IPAQ PDA, Internet cafes and my new E65 phone. Access from my laptop and my Kubuntu PC are also needed.

I have been using Evernotes for some time and while it is ideal for saving my notes, I can not use it to save the pictures from my camera as it does not yet offer a Symbian interface.

With this blog I can save text and pictures directly from the web browser on the various devices. This means that I can, for example, take a photo with my mobile while out on a bike tour and a few minutes later have it on line.

We'll see how it works the next few weeks.

[150525] The next few weeks obviously worked good. It is now the middle of 2015 and I am still blogging here.
