Expedition

I started at half past eleven in the morning. The beginning was quite usual, roads I rode many times. But after a while I reached the flank of the palatine forest. First I had to climb some steep roads, then I left the road and had to go on a sirt road into the forest. What I hadn't expected was snow, becaue down here in the valley was no snow at all. This made riding a little more difficult, especially uphill, when the tires didn't get enough traction so I had to push the bull. Nevertheless, at a quarter to two I reache dthe hash. It was just 20 m into the light forest. I left a mark of trees and another X in the snow. The path got worse from hereon, and I had to push for several times. But in the end I reached the station in Frankenstein, just when the train arrived. I jumped in and bought my ticket online in the train. So I reched home at a qaurter past three.
