Plans

I'll try to go there on my bull and hope to arrive around 1 pm. I have to be home early, because I'll go to the theater this evening.

Expedition

I started with real sunny weather and had a nice trip to Heidelberg. On my way I found a new way around Ketsch, what is funny since I ride through Ketsch every day on my way to work. Shortly before I arrived in Heidelberg, some fog came up and it got cold and moist. From Heidelberg I had to climb on the Königsstuhl, 300 m above me.It was one of the first times I climbed such a long way with my bull, and I have to tell, it did a great job. Exhausted but in a very good mood I arrived at the top, looking over the dust in the rhine valley and bright sunshine up here. From here I had to go downwards again, unfortunately on a forest path so I had to go really slow.

300 m before I reached the hash I reached a riding path where I couldn't ride. So I left my bull and walked the rest of the muddy way. I had to climb down to a ditch, cross it and climb up on the other side again. Then I left the way and walked into the steep forest. I found the hashpoint after some dancing, took several photos, left a chalk mark on a rugged tree, which was hardly readable and so I left another one on a stone. You'll find them in the pictures. From now on I had to hurry because I wanted to be back home around 3 pm. I rode through Gaiberg, fell down to Leimen very fast and hurried back to Speyer. I would have been at home in time, if I wouldn't have stopped for some cake :-)
