Plans

Go there on my bull. Making a detour over Mannheim to bring a key back to a friend. Hope to arrive there between 2 and 3 pm.

Expedition

Well, things worked pretty much out as planned. I started at home at 10:15 and had a quick ride to the south of Mannheim where I had a short stop at my friend to bring him back a key and stopped for a drink. After that I continued for a long ride. I entered the Kraichgau at Wiesloch and followed the valley of the Angelbach with a very smooth rise. Then I left the valley and a short hill later I entered the valley of the Elsenz. I left the Elsene at Mühlbach for another hill and when I reached Leonbronn I got a little bit exhausted. And exactly when I needed it most an ice cream parlour appeared. Some ice cream (the best lemon ice cream for years) and some beer later I continued my ride (although you never should eat the ice before the hash, but some exceptions has to be made).

10 minutes later I parked the bull in the forest and had to climb a steep sloop upwards. 20 m later I decided to have reached my aim. I took some pictures and left a big X as a mark. Then I continued my ride to the train station in Bretten. I reached it at 15:05 so I got the 15:12 train back home.
