I decided not to do the trail on Eggflüh. Instead, I simply went back and up to the benches on the

With all the trees that they cut down, I always wonder why the dead ones are still standing. This one is really tall, too!

I wasn't able to ride this morning, so I had planned to ride at 6pm. I was dreading the heat (33C). But then, at 5, the heavens opened and dropped lots of water. When I left at half past 6, it was cool-ish, and wet. This moss carpet almost glistened in the low Sun.

2. Going down towards Fürstenstein, and then all the way down: youtube.com/watch?v=YBO8I034Nm

This part is _fast_, and the last bit at the bottom is just nuts.

I then rode the ridge, and came back to Dreiländerstein.

I was testing gear for Davos/Lenzerheide, including my new helmet (light, airy, nice!) and the GoPro (still works)

Quick ride this morning. First time with my new full-face helmet, which I bought for a trip to Davos & Lenzerheide. No, I will not ride the world cup trails.

The Sun had set, and the sky was red. It was time to go back down.

I sat there, ate a bar, drank water, and watched the light fade. There was a light, warm breeze, and no other sounds.
Light bulb moment: there is such a thing as a happy place, and this is mine!

Today was a hectic day, with some stress. Once the two smaller kids were in bed, I decided to take the eBike for a quick ride. The Sun was setting when I started going up the

A couple of the wild strawberries at the top were ripe. There will be snacks provided for the next week or two. Nice!

At the top, I sat in the shade, again. Even at 9am, the Sun is strong.

I went for an early morning ride. It was warm, but there was a little wind in my face on the first half of the ascent. And it was beautiful!
