Location

200 meters into a probably very dirty field near Rodias. Great climb, great descent and muddy feet are expected for all participants.

Plans

Reinhard and Juja both signalled readiness to give it a try and test their newest feet-in-plastic-bags-technologies, but since they don't seem to be able to synchronize their schedules any more there even might be two (or more? Hello, 50/11 hashers?) expeditions.

Expedition: Juja

I started after work with dark clouds as far as the eye could see, but no rain. I did not feel too fast and indeed an old man on an even older bike overtook me at the first hill. But eventually I arrived at Milda and it went downhill from there ;) - I knew the way to Rodias and instead of playing the chicken on the vegetable patch I didn't bother to put the plastic bags out and cycled directly over the dirty field all the way to the point which would have had a lovely view to Leuchtenburg if the sun had been shining. When I was back on the roads of Rodias my tyres were full of dirt and mud, and so the following descent to Altendorf at 60-something km/h was great fun - dirt all over my face, yay! Anyway: hashpoint reached.
