120908 Heli-Biking
neill, 22:14h
Originally we thought of hiring a helicopter but at 60 Euro the minute ...
So we used two cable cars and our bikes to cycle round the Reschensee. Started in Austria then downhill in to Italy. Along the shore then up a lift in Italy and then back through the mountains to Austria and a well deserved swim in the Schwarz See.
Track at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=klokxmkvubxbqony
48km and 2200m of climbing (but 1400 of that was with the two cable cars)

120902 Grünten
neill, 21:38h
An overcast Sunday and Max suggested walking to the top of the 1738 meter high Grünten so that he could "photograph the view".
The following picture is the view.
But it was fun anyway. Alison Max and I walked up the 700 meters from the car park and stopped on the way down at the Grüntenhütte for a drink.

120819 Zugspitzrunde
neill, 23:40h
It was "only" 32-34 degrees Centigrade today so we set off early for a "quick" tour round the Zugspitz (the highest mountain in Germany).
Five of us took part and they were all really fit (except me). I was really wondering what I was doing during the last hour of climbing in the sweltering heat.
After a beer at the top things were great again. Amazing how one drink can make such a difference.
The track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=rlygdegrslnpweaa. 78 kilometers and nearly 1400 meters of climbing. No wonder I was "tired".
In the evening we barbecued. It's a tough life

120814 to Munich
neill, 13:36h
The annual "Heidi and Neill Race Bike Tour".
Nesselwang to Munich. 150km through Bavaria. Visited places I had never been before including the towns of Schongau and Weilheim and the monastory at Andechs. At Andechs they have been brewing beer for hundreds of years so we tried some.
In Munich we ate lunch in the pedestrian zone and then went to the English Garden to watch the wave surfers, eat ice cream and enjoy the sun.
Caught the train home and then cycled the last bit from Seeg to Nesselwang which put our totals for the day at 165km and 1500m of climbing.
The track is saved at GPSies under http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=jwycyphvnjtnvqpy
