Life is not a Practice

One of our local race bike classics. Through the "Königsstrasse" to Sonthofen and then back home over the Jochpass.

Four of us were out on a warm summers eveing after work.



Not everyone can go out after work and do 66 kilometers with almost a thousand meters of climbing through such beautiful Alpine scenery.

And I didn't get rained on :-)

Despite temperatures of 3 degrees (plus) and rain, seven of us cycled the 55km from Nesselwang to Woringen. Stopped to warm up at the Hirsch in Probstried. Ate a fantastic dinner at the Schwarzer Adler. I am not sure I lost any weight today :-)

Despite a day of April showers I went out for a ride on my race bike. I was soaking within the first two kilomters but as it was warm I dried out again.
After reaching Mittelberg I decided to follow the road round to Peterstahl and Kranzegg.
On the Kranzegger Steig I got another puncture.

Did the "standard" race bike route but the other way round.
