Life is not a Practice

Heidi, Max and I out on the 7 lakes tour despite a bit (?) of rain and snow.



Actually about half way through there was more than a bit of snow.

A screenshot of the weather when we were out. Lots of rain and 0°C. Crazy

A sunny Sunday morning. Race bike round the Grüntensee and then (because it was such fun) back through Stich. Moving average 23km/h.

From Nesselwang to the Grüntensee and then up the Wertach to Unterjoch. Across in to Austria and then back down beside the Vils to Pfronten. Coffee at Matthias and Evi's and then via the Attlesee (visting Max to scrounge chocolate) home. An enjoyable Saturday afternoon.

From here to Wertach and back round the Grüntensee. Included the "Indianerpfad" at the end.

Sunday morning and another day of sunshine. Max suggested a ride to the top of the Ellegg which sounded like a challenge so early in the year but fun.



Near the top we went off on an "exploration" of untried tracks which opened on to some amazing views.
Came home via the Mühlbach and then picked Rhiannon up from Chris's. Few kilometers but lots of fun.

Max's report at http://maxhogarth.blogspot.com/2011/04/elleg-and-back-down-muhlweg.html

Spent the day in the garden - we even had the professionals in to get the hedge cut at the top of the garden.



Afterwards I went for a bike ride but by the time I got to Wertach I had really done enough for one day. Only managed 17 kms at a 22.3km/h average.

Mas's report is at http://maxhogarth.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-bike-of-year-around-7-lakes.html

The clocks have been changed to summer time so it is still light after work. I got a bit carried away on my race bike. 45kms with a moving average of 24.2km/h. Not bad for the start of the season.



The track is at http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=flljvytwkhwjogqp Strangely I finished where I started but the GPS showed a position 30m lower.

A Friday afternoon. Finished work and unblocked the chimney. The sun was still shining so I rode towards Wald, across the Wertach river, up in to Görisried and then home.

30km with a moving average of 19.5km/h. The wind was against me all the way home which didn't help the moving average :-)
