Palatine Siberia

Bericht#1 » 18 feb 2018, 20:34

Warm sun shines through the window of the living room.
Should I wake my Husky out of hibernation?
Her battery probably needs a charge.

I dress warm and go out.
After 2 seconds the engine starts. Regarding the long standing time, this is completely ok.
First the Husky vibrates a lot. Everything works a bit stiff. I have to get used to it again.

Leaving the warm city (on-board computer shows +6°C) I soon see the snow again.
The streets in the valleys are wet and (in the shadow) perhaps frozen.
I don't want to try it, take it easy. Just catch some fresh air.

I ride up the Elmsteiner Tal, which is usually prohibited for bikes from March to Oktober.
It end at the famous motorbike meeting point Johanniskreuz.
So far I have not seen a single motorcyclist, neither now.

The road to Hermersberger Hof is a small beautiful forest road of minor importance.
The road is still beautiful white. Here the computer indicates 0.5°C.
A few hundred meters further, I see cars turning around.
I know there is a 12% incline, with standard road tires and as I am out of exercise, I turn around too.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Beautiful picture. I don't think I'd dare to ride these conditions through the hills and valleys.

Continuation...

I check one of my favorite webcams in the morning. -14°C there and I see how the sun battles through the fog.
The weather forecast predicts snow and -22°C. Pussies should rather go now!

Do you see the guardrail? Still some snow there.

Suzi would like to ski, but she is not allowed on the ski run with her tires.

@Jan
We will probably see snow, when we ride up the Sommet du Hohneck (1362m).
(But don't mind, you can ride Suzi and she knows how to slide. :crazy3: )
