The weather forecast said it was going to rain and it already was so ...
... Heidi and I went cycling :-)



Up the mountain then down a great track then around the lake and down the "Indian Path". No plan but great fun!

The last night of spinning for this "winter".
And the last tune we cycled to was Pink Coffee's "anther brick in the wall.

This morning Max suggested a bike ride up the Alpspitz and Alison decided to jog up with us.



From Nesselwang to the top of the mountain was 700 mters of climb and Alison jogged faster than I could cycle.

At the top it began to rain and so Alison took the cable car down while Max and I got as dirty as possible on a wet, muddy, slippy path. Great fun! Max fell off three times but didn't damage himself or his bike too badly.



13km and 700hm
