MTB Tour in the National Park Kalkalpen
June 2nd, 2009HI!
on saturday the 23rd of May 2009 i did a big mountain bike tour around the nationalpark kalkalpen.
i startet at 07:35 in losenstein with one banana and four cereal bars and two water bottles and ended at 19:55.
first i drove from losenstein to ternberg then above the schreibachfall to the schoberstein-hut, then i drove down to trattenbach, further to wendbach then mösern, schneegraben, hausbach, bodinggraben jagdhaus, there i did a break for waiting of phil for 50minutes.
i was a little bit too early so i wait a little bit too long but it was ok to fill up my lost water.
so at about 12 o’clock we drove from the jagdhaus to the new schaumbergalm, we drank 1 radler and had a break for 50 minutes.
then we shifted our bike over the trämpl pass and further to the ebenforstalm, this alm will open at beginning of july 2009 because of restauration.
we had a nice downhill to the großen bach about the wilder graben.
after that we turned right to the große klause hut, here we ate very good cakes and drank two radler, after 35 minutes we drove to the weißwasser, the schleier waterfall was very fascinating and had a lot of water.
then we turned the first left, because on hunter said, the other street to the hirschkogel is closed due to storm loss, parts of the streets got demolished 2 days ago.
at the anlaufalm we drank one beer, it was such nice there.
our collegues from the laufrad – steyr team had a problem with the tyres, so they came later. therefore we decided to drive to the ortbauernalm to check for the last alm on this tour, so we drove downwards and then up to the hirschkogel then again down and the up to the ortbauernalm, at the end of the uphill part i was wiped out.
suddenly i laid down on the street and had no more power, i didn’t wanted to see any further uphill street…
i think the blood sugar got low and i had no more energy and motivation. that was the aim oft this tour – lol…
phil gave me his last banana and some juice.
after 5 minutes i stood up and drove back home.
phil decided to go to the anlaufalm and so he joined the laufrad team for eating very good spare ribs and drinking eight beers ( yeah he drove down to brunbach at midnight – no joke)
i ended this tour at 19:55 , you can imagine that i ate everything what i could find in the kitchen 😉
