Location
Next to a mountain bike trail in Barr.
Participants
- Baarde
- a mountain biker
Plans
Baarde will cycle from Sélestat to the geohash. He should be there at 16:00 o'clock.
Expedition
The road from Sélestat to Baar was very unexceptional. I took the EuroVelo 5, a cycle route that goes through a series of wine villages at the foot of the Vosges mountains. Once in Baar, I turned West and started the climb toward Mont Sainte-Odile. Shortly after the end of the town, I exited the road, took a forest path and left my bicycle at the bottom of a steep hill.
On reaching the ridge of the hill, I noticed a mountain bike trail that was heading toward the road with a much gentler slope and fewer trees than the path I had improvised to get up there. I also met a young mountain biker who was descending the trail at considerable speed. We exchanged two words (Bonjour, twice) before he disappeared behind a bend. The coordinates were located only a few meters from the trail. So, using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we will assume he did reach the coordinates.
I arrived at 15:55. I waited a few minutes until Saturday meetup's official time, recorded proof, then left. It started raining on the way back and I was slightly damp by the time I reached home. Still, it was a very nice expedition.
