Plans

In the evening I want to achieve a geohash by bike for the first time. And this like a Tron! That would give me 2 new achievements. All in all, that's about 15km to ride. I'll get there around 6:45pm.

Expedition

And so it was. Exactly as I had planned, I cycled this route. On the way I fished a geocache and took a few photos from time to time. For the whole loop (15.0km) I needed 1h 17min. Since I only use the bike a few times and don't have a pro bike anyway, I'm glad I was able to cover the distance reasonably well.

I recorded the route using the ramblr app. But I still don't know how to include this data here... We'll see...

So I drove off from the small village of Niederwil. The trickiest thing was getting across the river without crossing paths, which would take away my chance at the TRON achievement. So I decided on the car bridge near Gütighausen on the way there and the well-known railway bridge on the way back.

From Wiki: The principal civil engineering structure on the line is the Thurbrücke Ossingen, a 332 metres (1,089 ft) long and 42 metres (138 ft) high five-span truss bridge over the River Thur.
