Hi Buddies,
In the wake of my adventure at the weekend, I am making a short break from biking, but look forward to coming next week Wednesday. I have just looked at your report - great ! We should do this more often since the daylight hours are always occupied with working !....plenty of time to ride the bike at night !
I started just after you finished, i.e. at Midnight. weather perfect.I crossed the FSchweiz, Speichersdorf at sunrise, through Ochsenkopf by 7.00 and around the corner of Czeck border by lunchtime, then it gets hilly (after Adorf). I went over 850m at Klingenthal and again over 850m through Carlsfeld and Johanngeorgenstadt, to reach the hotel in Schwarzenberg.
Day 2 should have been an easy 135km into Dresden via Pirna through the lower lands, but crossing sideways all the valleys was like a
rollercoater, up and down all day.I was slow, but I shall never know how slow, because I lost my wonderful Sigma Rox 9.1 in the darkness near Obertrubach, I assume when I stopped for a pee. I spent an hour in the darkness trying to find it and again yesterday evening - I even took the garden cutters and cut down all the grass in a 2m radius ! Nothing ! I shall now blow €200 on Amazon to
replace it, including all the transmitters which I dont need !
