Due to the wonderful sunny weather on Holy Saturday [[user:Manu|Manu]] and Reinhard decided to go on a bike trip to the 2009-04-11 hash at 50,10 near Themar which would be about 20 km one way. Soon the trip got interesting, when a historical steam engine crossed our road and 2 km later bushes were burning beside the rails. Of course, a sequence of fire engines were about to come next.

Arriving at the hash was less spectacular, getting as close as a few hundred meters to our destination we decided to leave the paved road and continue on a gravel path, which usually isn't too comfortable on the road bike I was riding. The last 60 metres we had to leave even this path and pushed our bikes uphill on a stubble field.

We've been there on time at 4 pm for the official meet-up, but noone else arrived, so we continued our way enjoying the ascent of [http://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/keulroder-berg/ Keulroder mountain] from where we coasted down on a idyllic road to Fischbach that hadn't yet been tracked for the [http://tourenplaner.quaeldich.de/?Aktion=GPS-Upload quaeldich.de GPS project] at that time.

After 42 km we were back home on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Due to the wonderful sunny weather on Holy Saturday Manu and Reinhard decided to go on a bike trip to the 2009-04-11 hash at 50,10 near Themar which would be about 20 km one way. Soon the trip got interesting, when a historical steam engine crossed our road and 2 km later bushes were burning beside the rails. Of course, a sequence of fire engines were about to come next. Arriving at the hash was less spectacular, getting as close as a few hundred meters to our destination we decided to leave the paved road and continue on a gravel path, which usually isn't too comfortable on the road bike I was riding. The last 60 metres we had to leave even this path and pushed our bikes uphill on a stubble field. We've been there on time at 4 pm for the official meet-up, but noone else arrived, so we continued our way enjoying the ascent of Keulroder mountain from where we coasted down on a idyllic road to Fischbach that hadn't yet been tracked for the quaeldich.de GPS project at that time. After 42 km we were back home on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.
