Big festive competition starts again – how to escape from family on christmas and get some distance to your home to make them miss you. The M&M’s (Mario, Michi, Me) start early in the morning to make some mileage before noon. Well groomed classy badass boys. Stay tuned for some more gentlemanly adventures. #festive500 #theydiditagain #heygoodlookin #nuts
Again a funny muddy icy tour of M&M’s (Mario, Michi, Me). In a steeper section Mario sees me rolling and decides he wants a singlespeeder too. Rips off his derailleur and off we go. Hooray!
Funny ride of M&M’s (Mario, Michi, Me) up and down and up and down river Isar. Meet the first fatbike alive. I want one. Head over to LLAMA RACING for more pics …
Sick at home is time for planning. Reflecting all rides of 2013 in one map results in two findings.
1. Places where i’ve not been: overkill
2. Knowledge of local terrain, hobotrails, single- and double tracks: sufficient
There is a cyclocross race next weekend in Dachau. First in life of us old farts, so we shit bricks and want to test the track. On the way to Dachau we find a skate park. Hell thats more fun!
Northern Territories with Ulf. No mountains, but wind. Artifical hills of post-war dump, tank tracks. We like it.
White crystals and black horses, hello kitty male version …
River up and down, frozen mud, slimy leafs and sand from the last flood. Riding, walking. Ulf and me on mountainbike trails. Not so bad.
Except sand. Sand is a beach to ride.
We heard there is a Dirt Park, so Ulf, Michi and me are heading north. Together we are 138 years old, there were no Dirt Parks in our youth. Dirt Park is wet and wet Dirt Parks are sticky we learned. So moving on to next playground …
Yes, thats ice on the water in the background. No, this boy don’t knows how deep it is.
Starting with the singlespeed crosser I must realize some annoying malfunction. I suspect frozen debris in the freewheel-hub, must warm it up. Thanks God I have some hot espresso with me. Not in the bidon. The espresso i had in the morning. You understand? Eskimo repair …
Doing what a cyclist must do in the snow, finally it does not help. Heading home in the workshop where I disassemble the smelly hub only to learn that the problem comes from the new chain which jumps over the cog. Take the other cross-bike to go out again. Chief engineers don’t mess around.
Where lives Father Udo, todays guide to the monastery of Andechs? Todays riders in reverse alphabetical order (typical for satanists): Udo, Michi, me and Mario.
If i would fix my singlespeeder with one of these padlocks lovers use these days it would be a fixie. Actually it’s not. It is free wheeled.
Emigrating to New York in 1938 Oskar Maria Graf was the first hipster over there. Always with a leather short, a fancy hat and a singlespeeder …
This is a monument in Aufkirchen where he was born and raised.
Frickin fresh hobotrail exploring. Mud munching and midget tire repair. Wanna see how to control your cyclocross bike? Enjoy.
And now the rider dominates the bike. You see, works!
Look below on the stats – now clocking with Strava to see the tours in kilometers and without crashing Safari browsers. Some rules for the headlines should be respected, f.e. no tour-titles like „Shirley on her bike“ …
Follow the horse droppings, they mark the best cyclocross tracks … FUUUUUUUCK!!! ….
If you have no bike follow these instructions to get wet with grace and glory. If you have a bike you can use this „bridge“ constructed by some talented riders …
Sweet Jesus what a windy day! New low and high speed experience …
Stag sees you. Do you see stag?
Good City of Munich! They build a cyclocross circuit. I do some quick laps, great fun …
