Plans

I'm planning to go there by bike. Probably in the afternoon, between 3 and 4 p.m. But I'm open for other time suggestions. -DerFlob 11:25, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

I'll buy myself a day-ticket tomorrow. Cycling is out of question, since I caught Scherzkeks' cold. Probably going there after university, which ends at about 12:00 at Martinsried. From there I'll go to Karlsfeld via S-Bahn. -The T-Man 14:37, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, and by the way: Lessingstraße AND Münchener Straße for my Monopoly project! :D -The T-Man 14:38, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Seems like I might be there at around 4 p.m., too, due to a slight change of plan -The T-Man 05:59, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

Expedition

DerFlob

I started my bike ride at about 2 p.m. I estimated that it will take about 90 minutes, but I wanted a bit of spare time so I wouldn't be late, because I haven't been cycling that far for a long time and maybe only a hand full of times overall. For routing I used a track calculated at OpenCycleMap.org, which I put on my new Garmin eTrex 20, that has been delivered the same morning. At first I didn't follow the recommended track, because it would have routed me through München's pedestrian area, which probably would have been quite crowded. Instead I crossed the Isar river a bit to the north at the Friedensengel and got back on track thereafter. After driving through München's Olympiapark, the ride was rather unspectacular, mostly following a highway alongside towards Karlsfeld. After arriving at the hashpoint and taking some pictures, I still had some time, before The_T-Man wanted to arrive, so I headed towards the suburban train station of Karlsfeld, where I waited a few minutes for him to arrive. After heading back to the point, taking some additional pictures, we parted at the train station, from where I started my ride home. This time I drove through München's center and pedestrian area, which, as expected, turned out to be a mistake, due to it being quite crowded and some evening rush hour traffic. Thus, it took me a good 2 hours to get back home, which can also be contributed to me being quite exhausted. In the end I cycled about 50km.
