On Thursday, we were finally able to enjoy our #afterworkbikeride again under sunny and very pleasant weather conditions — unlike last time, when we were out in very, very wet conditions... (Which is why there was no "race report" then.)
However, we weren’t completely spared from mechanical issues: Lex had to patch his tire using three "salamis" (plugs). Fortunately, we made it through without further problems afterward.
Since the participants were all quite familiar with each other, we decided together on the route, which ended up being more flowy and packed with trails.
After the ride, we spontaneously decided to grab a delicious pizza in Schifflingen at Chez Toni.

At spring-like temperatures, a first spin-off #afterworbikerides to Rodalben was planned at very short notice (perhaps too short notice)... Unfortunately, only the two of us had fun on the "never-ending trail," the rock hiking trail around Rodalben.
It’s hard to believe, but this trail consists of over 40 km of pure singletrack fun, putting a constant grin on your face. You can ride this tour with an XC MTB, but it's highly recommended to opt for an eMTB, as the fun factor is significantly higher.
Lex, a team member, had never ridden this tour before and was simply blown away by the beauty of the trail. He noted that the route is packed with playful rocky or stony sections, yet even with an eMTB, it still demands quite a bit of effort.
Even though you have to endure a drive of about 1.5 hours, the effort is definitely worth it, as every single kilometer on the trail rewards you double and triple for the effort.

We would like to inform you that despite the adverse weather conditions of the last two days, we have been out on the trails to mark them.
We believe we don't need to explain further that so far we’ve only been able to put up direction arrows and barrier tape... Using spray is and has been pointless since the ground is completely soaked with water.
As a result, about 400 additional arrows were produced to ensure that all intersections are clearly visible.
Since the ground is completely saturated, we wanted to emphasize that the trails are usable but extremely slippery, and some sections have been modified because it makes no sense to wade through the mud...
and don't forget, better to come with new brake pads and forget semi-slick tires, or for the trail runners, leave running shoes without grip at home...
We wish you lots of fun, and take care, ease off the speed... safety first.
