170515 Wertach
neill, 00:18h
Heidi wrote and suggested a training run round the lake with the road bikes. We got to Wertach and saw the storm coming so headed straight back home and just beat the downpour. My GPS packed up halfway and lost the whole track.

170514 Tannheimertal
neill, 23:56h
Caro was "extremely motivated". Stefano less so. So caro and I took our mountain bikes in to Tannheimertal. It rained on and off but was also sunny on and off.
And the Apfelstrudel at the Engel in Grän made it all worthwhile.
46.8km and 700 meters of climbing

170501 flowery meadow
neill, 18:16h
Moni rang me yesterday to say that the flowers in the meadow by the Kögelweiher are in bloom. The weather forecast lied and said it would be dry until midday so we cycled over there.
I didn't know there were so many different types of flowers in Allgäu. Afterwards we drank coffee down at the lake and then froze our way home.
Recovered with mulled wine.

170430 Grüntensee
neill, 17:55h
Once again sunshine and once again round the Grüntensee but this time there were two of us.
Better speed of 21.1km/h and a lower heart rate at 118 beats per minute. Amazing what a bit of wind shadow can do. :-)
25.5km and 328 meters of climbing.

neill, 16:38h
The end of April and it has been snowing this week. The roads are clear though so I was out on my road bike today. Once round the Grüntensee. And you can tell I recently spent two weeks eating and sitting around on a sail boat. 22.5km at an average speed of 19.7km/h and an average heart rate of 123 beats per minute.
22.5 km and 265 meters of climbing.

Thursday and snow and rain. Jon suggested nordic walking as a joke and four of us said "yes please" so we did Jon's "normal" morning route through Wertachtal.

170401 - 08 sailing Croatia
neill, 15:07h
Week 1
Rhiannon, Caro, Max, Stefano and I on a Dufour 350. The three Hogarths are staying for two weeks. Farinas are making space for Annalena and Daniel at the weekend.
We are enjoying everything from an afternoon and evening tied up at the harbour wall in Hvar to lonely bays on uninhabited islands; glass flat seas to 30 knot gusts out at sea.
What I absolutely love about sailing is waking up not knowing where you will be in the evening. You know the direction and you know you will have your "home" with, but you don't know what the day will hold or where you will be sleeping. On one day, we started anchored off a village on an island and now we are backed on to the main harbour wall in the middle of a medieval town. A day later we finished the day anchored in a tiny cove surrounded by forest and nature.
At the end of our week together, we did a night sail to the mainland to meet Annalena and Daniel.

170319 7-Weiher-Tour
neill, 18:14h
Caro "forced" Stefano and I (and Noelia) to go out biking despite our protetsing about the planned rain..
The 7-Weiher-Tour is the classic spring tour and today was a classic spring day. The snow is nearly all gone except in the mountains.
25km and 313 meters of climbing.
Track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=faegoyqugyapuhyu
At the furthest point from home, I received a message that a repeater of ours had a problem so set off home at top speed. Until then I had kept my heartbeat below 135 but on the way back it was 150. Luckliy a colleague solved the problem so I turned round and cycled slowly back to the others.

170312 Allatsee
neill, 18:44h
First mountain bike ride of the season. Caro and I rode to the Allatsee and back. As we crossed the border, she saw an interesting track so we did a few extra meters of climbing on steep gravel. It is good that we do lots of spinning in winter.
36km and 468 meters of climbing.

170219 Strindenscharte
neill, 18:21h
The aim of todays ski tour was the Sulzspitze - 960 meters of climbing. Nine of us set off from Grän and enjoyed the climb up through trees covered in new snow.
At the pass - Strindenscharte - I decided that the combination of rewiring Stefanos office yesterday and the 730 meters were enough. Three others agreed with me so we ate something, took off our skins and had an exciting ski back down to the cars.

170129 Sunnalm
neill, 18:52h
Seven of us took advantage of the perfect snow and weather to drive in to Tirol and do a ski tour.
The walk up the mountain was a nice exercise and the descent was a dream. Unfortunately the waiters were extremely incompetent and disorganised. But on average - a brilliant day.
