140724 Reuttewanne
neill, 09:21h
Up passed the Haslacher Alm and then on to the Obere Reuttewanne Alp. All the way trying to keep my pulse as low as possible.
Down a great trail that Wera showed us - Suzi and Jon both fell off at the stony bits.

A beer in the Untere Reutewanne Alp and then Group 1 turned up so I cycled back up to the upper Alp with them and then back home the way we had come in the dark.

A late afternoon Sunday tour up the Breitenberg. First time in three years and definitely easier than back then. The training is paying off.

Three of us had never cycled up the Breitenberg and were amazed by the stunning view at the top.
