How to spend a nice afternoon: take three riders, one who wants in the forest, one who wants to the lake, one without preferences, all three without any idea. By the way, Garmin, shut the fuck up!

Some Doppelgängers cross my way today, do you know them?

When Garmin says there is no way then move ahead. Best method to find new places.

Funny fatties fit fine on their bikes: Ulf and me on dirt tour. Old trail farts are unstoppable. By nothing.

When I said on the phone that I have no time for a longish talk because I am in a meeting I didn’t told you the whole truth. Not 100%. Ok, I left the office for a ride. You understand? Will call you tomorrow, promised. Take the todays footage of a dark dark night …

Todays mud faces are in alphabetical order: Mario, me, Michi.

Summer is here. A bit early. And a bit weird, but birds are happy, cyclists are happy. Anybody else?

For ZEN cycling you need to feel the elements, a bit of headwind, sunshine, snow and rain. And to harmonize with the elements a nice hangover is helpful.

Mud and ice shredding with Ulf. Moskitos in the sun. In February! Sweet apocalypse …

Best tyres for icy bridle pathes: tiny diamonds …

I want to use this blog to share a wisdow among my readers. Worldwide. Put on your bibs first before using winter embrocation if you do not want to cook your private parts. Bib before embro. And de-embro before shower. Otherwise the noodle goes over the al-dente point …

What? Ahem, this ride takes some detours as it should hit the Strava Gran Fondo Challenge. Thinking of Grand Fondo the much cooler Gran Torino comes into mind, thinking of Gran Torino the super cool bar Torino Express in Beyrut is present.

Torino Express. Stop over if you are in Beyrut.

Mid-january ride of the M&M’s (Michi, Mario and Me) to the lakes. They said there will be some sun today.

Don’t know why we humans love to stare into sundowns … silly.

In the woods it is below zero. Michi tries little heating pads in the toe tips of his boots, I choose winter embrocation all over my feet. Great ride, thanks to some cooling mudholes my feet are only medium rare now.

Days are like springtime, so what about a nightride? Cold and riding behind a salt truck makes finisher beer very tasteful …

Starting with ZEN-cycling alone in the woods, with singlespeed and wrong ISO, with mud in drivetrain and rim (that rim …), could not be better …

Michi still needs some kilometers, so we do the trails along the river. Maybe not the smartest way to collect miles, but biggggg fun! And we do not have worries about tearing holes in the jerseys as we definitely will get patches from Rapha for repair. The roundels, you know … #festive500 #byebye2013 #hello2014

Round around the lake with Michi. Looks cosy on the pics but in fact around zero, ice in the shadow. No snow means less epic but more easy to clock kilometers. The 500 are done today. #festive500 #goodplacetopee #bavariankitsch
