Robyn is thinking of trying this one, if local advice confirms likely doability.

Tomorrow isn't a good day for me to go hashing. I should have known that a day earlier (I know, hash o'clock and such...). I already confirmed some appointment at Tübingen. Same will apply to wednesday. I'm free on thursday, friday, saturday morning, and sunday this week. Hope for another chance in another graticule. Mind that the ticket price will be usually the same wherever you go within of the state of Baden-Württemberg, so if time is not so much of an issue there is no need to keep to the nearest graticule. Call if you need some information fast. --Ekorren 17:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

The point itself doesn't look too bad, you could take a bus from Pforzheim to Mönsheim and then walk out to the hash. As for a ticket: If you are two people the best will probably be a Baden-Württemberg-Ticket for 28 EUR, valid for 5 people. This is a daypass for almost all buses and local trains within of the state of Baden-Württemberg, valid from 9 am to 3 am for unlimited travel. It's available for that price from most bus drivers and ticket machines. --Ekorren 17:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I just see that you'll be alone and want to bike. Bike transport is free in that area in local trains (NO bike transport in buses!) after 9 am. The Baden-Württemberg-Ticket is also available in a single person variant for 20 EUR. It's usually the easiest since once bought you're free to roam the rest of the day, however, it's not the cheapest for your trip. If you don't need the bus from Pforzheim to the hash, there's a way to make it considerably cheaper but it's a bit weird (and takes a little bit of extra time, I'll explain on request). You may also want to consider to go to Mühlacker or the station Niefern-Öschelbronn instead of Pforzheim, it's both closer and cheaper.

Btw, 2010-03-18_48_8 was only one village away from that hash ;) --Ekorren 17:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
