As I had a day off today and the weather was far beyond my expectations, I decided very spontaneously (after breakfast, and, in fact, having the choice between going or doing the washing-up) to visit this day's hash point, even it was at a distance of about 45km and would clearly take me to my limits. Of course I started by bike, going the cycleway to Jena Lobeda and from there on to Rutha, up the hill to Sulza and so on... I forgot that there might be mountains anywhere as soon as I leave the valley by the river (Saale), so they quite got me by surprise, but I had all the time in the world to get used to them during the next 40km. Anyway, as the noise became louder I knew I was close: I had finally reached A9 (the freeway) which I crossed twice on smaller streets, arriving at Dittersdorf at last. Only some 100m after the second crossing of the freeway there goes a nice way to the fields (and the numerous deer stands there and at the small pond in the middle). I could ride my bike until I reached the forest which was seperated from the meadow by a small creek. So I left my bike at the meadow, jumped over, found the spot, took the necessary proof pictures and left again, already zonked. Anyway, I rode my bike "back home" (funny phrase considering there were 55km still to go) through such wonderful villages like Knau (great lake landscape!), Grobengereuth and Bodelwitz to Pößneck. I was hungry and there was food, so I did my bit and supported the first local restaurant to be found. From there, everything seemed easy: only 34km to do (according to road signs), and always through valleys without any stops to have a look at the map, because every sign was directing back home. I have never been as happy as this time to see the first houses of Jena... hooray, new record set! ---Paintedhell
