February 15, 2024,Wiesenttal #71 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴
Short excursion with a full tummy in the Wiesenttal. Things went quite satisfactorily until the last climb on our little mountain, which once again permanently destroyed the neat cut. We chalk it up to winter depression. 🤪

The reason for the full cauldron was the meal of the day, which included wonderfully juicy meat cakes with endive potato salad. 🥰

After the morning swim of 1 km, the manager made a clear announcement: "Get out and fix up the racing bikes!" Put the bike stand in the sun on the meadow, lifted the RR from the holder and off we went. Boss doesn't tolerate contradictions. 🥺

Morning hour has coolness in the ground. In the Wiesenttal it was very pleasant and lonely this morning. But there was a funny southwest wind that came up and down annoyingly from the side and didn't really help anywhere. 🤷🏼

Short, fast and crisp. Small RR slipstream stress test for my Titanerne before the morning swim. Really loved it. Only on the last mountain did I collapse completely and ruined her cut a bit. Mea culpa. 😉

Then came a nice visitor and there was delicious grilled food with potato salad, for dessert ice cream with espresso. 🥰

Following the weather forecast for once, a completely unexpected bright blue sky broke out over Hollfeld this afternoon. Wow, the air quickly warmed up to a pleasant -1°🤩, so off we went on the RR.

It's always possible to go to Wiesenttal, and the traffic this afternoon was absolutely relaxed: 5 herons, 1 cyclist, 3 climbers, 3 cars, 1 bus.

A very strong gusty wind today in Upper Franconia, but at least it's not raining. So before the early morning swim, briefly on our reference route to the Wiesenttal.

During a photo stop, my 🍀 came loose and spontaneously started a tough solo escape. The stop lasted an estimated 30 seconds, after which I had to cull about 8 km …

Morgenrund has gold in its mouth, fine weather, good light and great temperatures. Special training was necessary for the meeting of the 🌀🌀 next weekend.

So the racing bikes pumped up and off to the B22 (mostly completely empty during the week mornings) to scrub kilometers and build up your stamina.
