110423 Edelsberg
neill, 23:04h
Max and I cycled to Pfronten and then back over the Edelsberg. The first "real mountain biking this year. Only 25 kms but 750 meters of climbing.
As you can see in the picture, there is still some snow in the mountains.
Track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=btibpvcwphbyfikg and yes it felt as steep as it looks in the profile, particularly the bit at about 14 kms. I pushed that. I just can not ride that steep on loose stones.

110422 Lengenwang & Görisried
neill, 23:38h
For various reasons today was not so good. But this great 45 km race bike tour with Heidi cheered me up immensely. 410 meters of climbing but a lot of long enjoyable descents. The views back in to the mountains were amazing with the snow filled mountains rising above the sea of yellow dandelions.

110410 Speiden
neill, 21:02h
At lunch time Jon rang up to ask if we wanted to go Geocaching. Yes Please!
Cycled to Rehbichl for the first cache ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=79abbfa3-e727-4200-bfbf-5ab8b80300ca ) and then on to Speiden for the second ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e886568d-68f0-4f58-89b5-73219cd3818c ).
Went in to the brewery for a coffee but got a beer put in front of us so we drank that :-)
Back via Kögelweiher.

110403 Ellegg
neill, 15:40h
Sunday morning and another day of sunshine. Max suggested a ride to the top of the Ellegg which sounded like a challenge so early in the year but fun.
Near the top we went off on an "exploration" of untried tracks which opened on to some amazing views.
Came home via the Mühlbach and then picked Rhiannon up from Chris's. Few kilometers but lots of fun.

110402 Grüntensee
neill, 22:33h
Spent the day in the garden - we even had the professionals in to get the hedge cut at the top of the garden.
Afterwards I went for a bike ride but by the time I got to Wertach I had really done enough for one day. Only managed 17 kms at a 22.3km/h average.

110329 Füssen
neill, 21:47h
The clocks have been changed to summer time so it is still light after work. I got a bit carried away on my race bike. 45kms with a moving average of 24.2km/h. Not bad for the start of the season.
The track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=flljvytwkhwjogqp Strangely I finished where I started but the GPS showed a position 30m lower.
