We awoke to more rain this morning and was not looking good
for our bike ride today. Carl and I had to go down to the local bike shop and
pick up our bikes Carls had gone in for servicing and mine had a flat tyre that
needed changing so at 8.30 we drove down to the shop to pick them up. When we
returned coach had arrived and we were all ready to set off, luckily the
weather had cleared up and it was pretty clear as we set off. The loop we were
doing today was reasonably flat to begin with down to Siegsdorf on a cycle path
and around to the next town up called Inzell. once we got to Inzell we looped around
the back of one of the mountains in the area before we started our climb up a
mountain and through a pass at the top. Near the top we stopped for a while to
look at the view and get some food in us to keep our energy up. after this we
dropped down the back of the mountain near the Raushberg (Mountain that
overlooks Ruhpolding) and down a nice downhill section finishing next to the
biathlon stadium. Just as we reached the bottom the heavens opened and it started
to hammer it down with rain. lucky we were only about 15 minutes from the flat
so we all sped up a little to get back but we still all soaked through by the
time we got back. it was a good bike ride to end the first training camp of the
year back to England now for a race at the weekend.
