Try to be there at hash o'clock. -- DODO (talk) 15:00, 25 August 2018 (GMT+02:00)

Expedition

I started the ride at 15:15 on my bike. The wind blew from the rear and I was pretty fast. I've choosen an unusual way through the town as I wanted to try a tron once again and I found some new pathes close to home. It's alwas worth to go hashing. I reached Hockenheim after half an hour and left it again into the fields five minutes later. To my surprise there were several velicoraptors flying in the air over the field next to the hashfield, having strange colors and even stranger shapes. But I had a hash to reach, and so I just passed them. It seems that they didn't follow me, and after I turned left twice I reached tha hashfield from the other side again.

The hash was located at the edge of an asparagus field, not sure wether it is inside or outside. But my instict let me walk into the field just behind the first row of asparagus and this time my instict was perfectly right. 35 m further I had a perfect shot. I took some pictures (the raptors once again), and returned to my bike. Here I waited for some minutes until it was hash o'clock, but noone else appeared.

For my way back I had to cross Hockenheim once again. Just at the beginnig of the town I passed the Pumpwerk, ayouth- and cultural centre where I visited a concert of Paddy goes to holyhead last year, but it was 700 m from the hash, and so it won't qualify me for the deja vu, and I have no proof anyway. At the other side of the town I had to cross a railway. When I came close to it, I realized, that the planned route cross the railway over a bridge with a circled ramp, what would invalidate my tron. But to my relief, my phone showed me, that there is another bridge 600 m further down the road, and so I could save the tron by riding 1 KM more. A short time later, I had to realize, that the raptors had realized me. All of a sudden one of them attact me, flied against my forehead, fell behin my glasses and stung me, just below my left eye. Ouch. That stil hurts. A short time later it started to rain, and the wind now comes from the front of course, but nevertheless I came home soon and had a nice ride for a saturday afternoon.
