Rode this last Thursday, decided it was time to get the pictures off the camera and up into the internets..

Started with a bunch of climbing up loose switchbacks. I made a bunch of them, but some were pretty much impossible. Maybe sometime when it rains a bit to firm them up..





Stopped at a nice vista for a quick snack



After that the trail arrives at a parking lot, so I took a break and had some lunch... Then I saw this as I was about to get back into the woods.



Hmmm... Not the best time to be in the woods alone. I spent the quiet climbing formulating a plan for when the kitty decides it wants to play. It never showed up, so I took another break at the highest point of the ride.



Then it was a ridiculously fast and cool descent on a trail shared by motorcycles. as much as I think it's lame to use a motor out here, they sure make the trail nice.





Then I was back at the car... Click on any of the photos for more, complete with "geocoding"

I have to agree, I love going down motorcycle trails. Except I'm always worried a motorcycle will run me over.

yes, motorcycles are great, except for the engine part. I clipped one last this summer coming down leverich. just a little shoulder check but still scary. Those are some buff looking trails.

I've only seen a few on these trails, they are easy to avoid though since you can hear them from a mile a way..

February 26 Loffelsterz

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
