Did some mt.biking in the woods above Sandra's house. Eventually, we could not find back to our car!!! We had to ask at a farmhouse. :-)

Biking from the house to the Bremer Forest

Did the Bremer loop, but as I got there on my bike, I did the whole thing. (Usually, I would have parked and started my watch a little after the parking and stopped before. I checked today, and the difference was 1.10.)

Very hot in mid-afternoon. I was surprised that my splits were as good as they were, and compared to a month ago not that bad. The vacation acutally must have helped a bit!

And.. my ride home. I forgot to stop the watch.
I had followed the main road zooming through the green lights. But at one point a truck almost crushed me into a waiting bus, and then I decided to take the smaller back roads or sidewalks again.

Thursday eve NW group; Fairly big group for a change and warm temps. Did the Zwärgewäg and Harder loop and over Goldswil back.

Did my normal route in the Dählhölzli and along the Aare. Very hot, 30 degrees. Just wanted to see where I stood after a 3 week vacation "break". I was quite pleased.

NW on a hot day but with a nice cooling evening breeze. Went to Ruine Goldswil to look at the views and back along the Aare.
Was teaching classes yesterday afternoon and 2 senior classes today.

After returning on Sunday evening and working this afternoon, went for a short "exploratory" run from home to see where I stood after 10 days of not running. Very hot evening.
I was also stopping various places in the Dählhölzli as the young animals were out in most places and playing around. The cutest ones were 8 little ibex who were "fighting" over rights to be on a dead tree trunk that seemed very slippery. It was very comical to watch them butting each other off while sliding down the trunk!
