This one seems easy enough and I have some free time, so Klaus will attempt his first geohash from Tuebingen by starting with his bicycle around 2pm ;)

I started at around 1:50pm from my home.
It was quite an easy bike ride until Rottenburg, with very good, flat and paved bicyle roads. After Rottenburg, I had to get up a little hill to the get to the village of Neustetten which is ~100hm above Rottenburg.
I was at the nearest point to the geohash where I could go without destroying the crops on the field which were already quite high. The next I was to the geohash was around 8 metres. So hopefully this counts as this was my first one :)
The route back was a little different one. I got a little lost in the unpaved farm lanes between the fields. They always got worse, and I even had to push my bicycle a few hundred meters, as I couldn't drive anymore. Note to myself: For the next geohash I attempt, I'll download the OSM map to my Garmin eTrex Vista first, so I can see where the paved roads are :)
On the route back I stopped in Weilheim, as there was a little village fair. I ate a pair of bratwurst and drank some "Radler". (Funny note for non-Germans: "Radler" is a German word which can mean either "bicyclist" and "beer with sprite")
I arrived at home around 17:00. All in all it was nice and sunny 42km bicycle tour.
