And I’m off: going to pay my taxes, then to Karlsruhe for a train to Oberstdorf. Tomorrow morning we leave for seven full days across the Alps though Austria and Switzerland to finish in Torbole at the North of Lago di Garda at the end of next Thursday (expected). In Italy until Saturday, [...] June 25th, 2009
A couple of years ago I wrote a lot about milk. Now I feel like I am writing a lot about cycling. But never am i writing anything useful about cycling, just “I went cycling” or “I like cycling”. I went cycling last night after work. We did a trip to Dobel, followed [...] June 21st, 2009
Today I had a little bikescapade to the famous Hornisgrinde. Hornisgrinde is the name of the tallest mountain in the Northern Black Forest. Hornisgrinde’s height is 1164 metres, shorter than the legendary Schrofenpass that we will cross on the first day of the Alpencross, but still tall enough to present a challenge. Verena and [...] June 6th, 2009
There are still some things that I want to do before I leave Germany/Europe. These things include, but are not limited to: June 6th, 2009
Five weeks until the start of the Alpencross. 35 days. 10 weekend days. I think the only way I have a chance to survive is if I am on the bike or on the pavement at least 4 hours each weekend day, ideally 10 hours each weekend, I think. It may [...] June 1st, 2009
I have a confession for the world: I am concerned about my Alpencross readiness. I knew that going on vacation would set me back some, and it has, but I’m not sure that is all that I can blame. We’re talking about six consecutive days of intense bicycling, and trekking, carrying everything I [...] May 17th, 2009
- Late night dining is virtually non-existent in Prague. May 9th, 2009
Today is the day of the Badische Meile in Karlsruhe. This is an 8.88889 km run throughout the city of Karlsruhe. The distance is quite manageable; I haven’t run in some time but I have been on the bicycle a few times lately so I hope that I will be fit enough to [...] May 7th, 2009
I don’t really consider myself to be a sporty guy, but I will say that when I do sport I prefer to be properly equipped. This morning I bicycled to work and it was fairly chilly out–about 8 degrees. I know that it is supposed to go up to 23 degrees today so I did [...] March 26th, 2009
Thursday, March 26, 2009. It’s approximately 9 p.m. Less than one hour ago I was still at work. I’m hardcore like that. The weather has been terrible all week. I think it has constantly rained. I am lucky I live on the first floor (second floor to you on the other side of [...] |
