May day and a bank holiday so we left earlier than usual. Great tour round Pfronten ending up in a restaurant in Pfronten and then catching the train home because of the pouring rain.

Thursday evening and we followed Karin on a "make it up as you go along" route through the countryside. The track included the Mühlbach which is a great trail beside a stream. Two people crashed on the way down but we all survived.

The evenings are getting shorter so we need to stay a little closer to home or be sure we do the dark part of the tour on good tracks.
Tonight we chose the second option and just got down off the Beichelstein before dark.

Great picture from Jon

Thursday evening and seven of us were out with our mountain bikes.
After climbing up to the Bayerstetter Köpfel and then trailing back down, we enjoyed a variety of paths near the Grüntensee.

Met on Thursday evening for one of our "standard tours" and then decided to do it the other way round. Amazing the things you see when you ride the "other way round".



As requested by Wera, we also added in a small diversion on the way to Wertach.

43 kms and nearly 700 meters of climbing

Only six of us this evening. We cycled to Pfronten and then up to the Bärenmoos Alm. Enjoyed a drink and the views at sunset in to the mountains.



On the way home we stopped off at the Kögelweiher for a swim and to enjoy the moon rise.

36 kms and 700 meters of climbing.

Thursday evening and another lovely evening. While the cracks in Group 1 stormed up the Breitenberg, we cycled across the border to Vils in Austria and then up to the Vilser Alm. After a drink we cycled back via the hidden back paths of Pfronten.

Heidi and I had to attend a meeting in Untermaiselstein so, rather than miss an evenings cycling, we cycled there and back.
