100808 Gappenfeldalm and the 5 valleys
neill, 19:41h
A Sunday tour with Max. We rode from home through Pfronten(tal) then up Achtal to Engetal and then on up to the Gappenfeldalm over a pass at 1896 meters! We just beat a huge storm to the Alm and spent the next hour huddled next to the fire waiting for the worst to pass (and having a drink and lunch :-)
When the rain was less we set off back down in to the valley and then decided to ride home via Tannheimertal and Wertachtal. In Tannheimertal it rained again but we had jackets and "aren't made of chocolate". In Wertach Max treated me to an ice and then we cycled home around the Grünten lake. It was however flooded so after Max got very wet feet, we took the road home.

and the track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=wsrrgzmdymebamav (1300 meters of climb and 72 kilometers.
Here is Max's report about the day http://maxhogarth.blogspot.com/2010/08/gappenfeldalpe-sunday-biketour.html and his pictures http://picasaweb.google.de/Maximilian.Hogarth/Biking20101?authkey=Gv1sRgCL3U3ayxuvWikwE#
This one that he took is great. It shows just how far we climbed and the spectacular scenery
