Plans

I haven't been hashing for quite a while and I had time today so I decided to visit the hash. The weather was great, sunny but yet not to hot in the morning and so I try to get there by bike.

Expedition

I started at home at 10 am. The wind was gently blowing from the rear and so I came along very quickly. At high noon I was close to the Bergstraße (mountain road) and had to go a little bit upwards into the Odenwald. For the last two kilometers I had to ride some steep gravel paths through the dense forest. Finally, when the path came to an end, there was a surprise to me: a big grassy clearing. I hoped for a good gps-reception and walked into it (although I was pretty sure that it was full with millions of ticks and other raptors). Well, the reception was not good at all and my shown position jumped around wildly, so I walked for more than 15 minutes through the waist-high grass, but finally I got a shot that was good enough.

From here on is not much to tell. I rode back to the street and down to the rhine valley, continued to Weinheim and rode back home by train.
