Plans

Go there by bull.

Expedition

It was cold and grey outside and I wasn't sure if I should go hashing, or rowing or shopping (still need some X-mas presents). But in the end it looks like it ends sitting home all day and waiting for the day to pass by. And to afford that, I started in the early afternoon (12:45).

It was a long, cold and not very interesting tour to the hash riding a long time through the cities of Ludwigshafen and Mannheim. When I finally reached the forest the road was very bad and I had to drive slowly . But then I was near the hash. Exactly when I locked the bull, it started to rain. The hash was only 140 meters into the light forest. I had a quick walk, took some necessary photos and returned to the bull. A short time after I was riding again the rain stopped. I tried not to cross my way but there were two bridges, where I had to, and so I didn't achieve a tron. On my way home, close to my office, I had a short stop to eat something. I came back home at 16:20 after an 81-kilometer ride, just before it turned dark.
