Go there by bull in the morning and gaining a birthday achievement.

Expedition

I took a day of today because of my 50th birthday. My family wants to come at 1 pm, so I had to go early, but I still had to do some cleaning before I could leave. The lady had to work, so I came out of bed early and had some time. That's why I decided to take the bull and use a train to come back home. It was cold and the road was very slippery in some parts so I couldn't ride as fast as I wanted, but after 75 minutes I reached the hashfield. It was freshly ploughed and frozen. So it was very uneven and hard to walk but at least it wasn't muddy. I took the usual pictures and hurried on to Mannheim Main station, where I took a train to Speyer 20 minutes later.

I even reached a tron achievement. I didn't cross the rail tracks, I took - I usually never do that - the wrong side to cross the bridge in Speyer so I hadn't to cross my own track there, although the track shows something different, I didn't randomly walk around in the Mannheim main station, nor in Ludwigshafen Main station (I lost bps-reception there and the track is really obscure there, but I promise I just sat in the train.

I'm pretty sure that it was far below 0°C but I have no proof of that.
