Life is not a Practice

A hot evening so the Tuesday Bikers decided to go and do the 11 lakes tour. I do not know why it is called the 11 lakes tour because I only saw 9 but Jon says there are 11 and he is the boss.

Because we were all having so much fun in the Wertach Valley we missed the turning and had to take the "really really steep" way.

The same route as on 20 March http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=tafktkuunyzqneur but this time it was much much warmer. last time you could stand on the ice but today there were people swimming. 46 kilometers just seem to roll by on a race bike.

A warm sunny evening. Out with group 2 and up to Bärenmoos. We were late there but got a beer anyway.

It was Johannesfeuer and there were fires on all the mountains in Pfronten

Out on a Tuesday evening with Heidi, Christa, Max, Gustav and Jon. Up to Ellegg and then down again. Up to the Metzer Alpe and then down again - after a beer at the Alpe.
The girls had to leave early to go to a party.

On a hot (29°C in the shade), sunny summers day we cycled along the Iller Radweg from Oberstdorf to Kempten. "We" were Alison and I, Heidi and Hermann and Irene Z.

The path is nearly all downhill to Kempten and hard gravel. It is a bit of a bike motorway but very scenic and easy to cycle. We stopped for a coffee at the water ski lake in Immenstadt and again at Kempten station for a bite to eat.



From Kempten Station, Heidi and I then cycled home to Nesselwang through the Kemptener Wald.

A quick race bike tour on a sunny afternoon. Yes, it has finally stopped raining :-)

Much the same weather as Tuesday - drizzle - but more so. We also took much the same route as Tuesday but finished differently.



Because the weather was so great, there were only nine of us.

A drizzly end to a wet day. 5 Tuesday bikers were out and decided to do Faistenoy and Ellegg.

Added the track from Vorderschneid to Faistenoy to OpenStreetMap. Still quite a bit missing out that way.

Tuesday bikers (7) out to Allatsee and back under the Falkenstein.

The trip out with max this morning should have been enough but this evening Jon rang and suggested a racing bike tour.

22km around the Grüntensee and then up to Oy and the mast in Maria Rain.

At last the summer is back. Max and I were out for a Sunday morning bike ride in to Jungholz and back home.

Max wrote about the trip at http://sites.google.com/site/hogarthadventures/biking/any-time

It was pouring with rain so only six of us (Moni, Karin C., Christa, Jon, Max and I) were out cycling on the Fathers day evening.
We cycled up to Maria Trost and then back down again. Wet but fun.

Fathers Day so Jon and I were out early doing a new geocache in Nesselwang.



The cache is at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=b6bdabcd-dd81-495e-9f3c-d16ba011f760

Five of the Tuesday Bikers (Jon, Moni, Max, Christa and I - Heidi is ill!) out and "up in the mountains" for the first time. 360 meters of climbing.

Jon was along with us and has downloaded his pictures to http://picasaweb.google.com/jon.nesselwang/Bike2010#

Max was out with Group 1 who also did the hanging bridge but a longer route. His pictures are at http://picasaweb.google.de/Maximilian.Hogarth/Biking20101?authkey=Gv1sRgCL3U3ayxuvWikwE#5465659752563401666 and his track at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=hogezvsfelopqrlw

And Sepp has written the report (in German) which is at http://home.allgaeu.org/a3453/2010%20Bike%20Season%20ger.htm with the title Tour 02 29.04.2010

Moni, Max & I out on a Tuesday evening and discovered a new, interesting way to the hanging bridge. I think it is amazing that after so many years we are still finding new tracks.
