Not done much on the bikes during the winter, been snowboarding and climbing mainly, and running and spinning once a week. Did a couple of hours in Bollenfaltor in Jan! I think I did Frankenstein Melibokus run in November I think.
Thu 1st May
Bollenfaltor, Frankestein, Felsberg, Melibokus, Frankenstein, Bollenfaltor. Not very inspired so dragged myself round and felt ok at end, due to lower than normal speed no doubt. Plus point: Managed to send the steep path off Melibokus for change. Minus points: Struggeled on stony path with two refusals before sending it, rode Felsberg downhill clumsily, rode half the Tube with forks locked out - dohhh!
Met a couple of lost german lads on the way down Melibokus, so guided them to Burg Frankenstein. They preferred my route downhill to the crappy schotterweg version in their publisherd directions, but rode theschotter up Frankers instead of the B path out of deference to their fullies and bmx pedals.
Sun 27th April Biblis RTF
Oh dear, did a Brendan on this. Was just wondering how we managed to buy sellotape on last year's rtf on a Sunday, then realised it was a Saturday. Dohh. Decided to ride it anyway, so printed the directions and set off. Problems finding the route - forgotten how bad german road signs are, contributed to my annoyance and bad mood. Road it steadily - not fast - and felt fine at the end. Changd the route in the middlt to shorten it. Discovered I'd lost the directions, driving licence and EUR20 at the bottom of a long downhill. Grr. Feeding: 2 bottles long energy and a power bar and 3 years-past-use-by raspberry gel. Quite nice sharp taste.
Sun 20th April Road ride with Rich
Nice two hour road ride, on Heinerfest route, then most of the way up Neunkirchen, then ...
Ended up racing each other towards end but nice ride.
Thu 17th April? Gentle afterwork mtb ride up Frankenstein. Felt good.
Sat 12th April
Frankenstein road circuit, cruised up in 11.30 mins. 1:40 to lose off that time!
