This morning Max suggested a bike ride up the Alpspitz and Alison decided to jog up with us.



From Nesselwang to the top of the mountain was 700 mters of climb and Alison jogged faster than I could cycle.

At the top it began to rain and so Alison took the cable car down while Max and I got as dirty as possible on a wet, muddy, slippy path. Great fun! Max fell off three times but didn't damage himself or his bike too badly.

Yesterday we were skiing and this evening we were race biking. What a life!



Four of us were out and did 48kms with 430 meters of climbing non stop and at an average speed of 26km/h. No wonder I am tired out.

I didn't have time to take pictures but Jon's are at https://plus.google.com/photos/100547066824249637955/albums/5725589139170705201/5729842692483898754 The two shown here are also from Jon.

Tuesday night is race bike night and despite rain during the day it had cleared by the evening. Four of us were out.



Track at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=auacqjherdecmmtd and take a look at that "hole" at about 21kms. It is really as steep as it looks and two of us had to get off for a rest on the way up.

Not so sunny and not so warm but Alison and I still went out race biking. Cycled to Wertach and then on up to visit some friends. Found them at home but very ill so cycled back.

Out in to Austria with the race bike. Short top and trousers with people cross country skiing past. Very surreal.
