Road Bike 4:25:00 116.0 km (26.3 kph) +2000m
Long ride in the Blackforest with Kaspar and stone. Started in Waldshut, then a first stop in Todtmoos (Some Kartoffelsalat for me, 2 Radlers for stone, including one into the bottle!!!), further on to Todtnau, Wies and back via Weil to Basel. Stone came up with a very nice route, only up and down on deserted roads, perfect for cycling. My legs were a bit tired from the last 10 days but promosing was that my cardiovascular system worked well. Had two tough battles against Kaspar who climbed really well. Legs still felt ok after 100km, so I hope that I won't struggle to much next Sunday.

Mountain-Bike 6:00:00 [2] 50.0 km (8.3 kph) +2400m
Klosters-Wolfgang-Davos-Maienfelder Furgga-Arosa-Hörnlihütte-Lenzerheide, with my dad. A pretty tough tour with some pushing (up to Maienfelder Furgga and Hörnlihütte) and some difficult and rough trails. Nevertheless, a very nice tour, real alpine biking! Had two punctures on the last 15min...
Felt ok overall, legs tired from yesterday, we took it pretty easy all the way.

Lenzerheide-Joch-Tschiertschen-Ochsenalp-Langwies-Duranna Pass-Klosters, with my dad. First day of our "Grischa Trail" MTB tour. Three gentle climbs with very nice trails down to Tschiertschen and Klosters. The Duranna Pass with the Grüensee is marvelous!

Road Bike 58:30 [3] 32.0 km (32.8 kph) +50m
Riding home from work, via Wädenswil. Was only 10min slower than when taking public transport, that's cool! Planned to do 3km fast, 2km slow to make it a bit more interesting. After 5km, a triathlete caught me and it got even more interesting...

Road Bike 41:00 12.0 km (17.6 kph) +500m
Short ride after work to Meinrad and back. Went to watch the soccer game H21 vs. Man afterwards, Man beating H21 3:1.
Rode fast from Luegeten to Meinrad and I felt terribly slow. Time (13:10) was only 10sec slower than in May. Either I was not that slow or I was slow back in May.

Road Bike 1:11:00 [2] 30.0 km (25.4 kph) +350m
Evening ride with stone. Was a bit frustrated, so was good to get onto the bike even though it rained. Rode to Herrliberg and then did the 27% climb there. Went better than last time, guess knowing what is ahead helps. It soon started to get dark and together with the rain and slippery road, it felt pretty epic... :)

Inline Skating 1:30:00 [1] 19.5 km (4:37 / km) +20m 4:36 / km
Inline skating after my Grandmother's birthday party along the Sihlsee, with Nadia. Was good to get out after hours of sitting, eating and drinking. The Sihlsee is a very good spot for rollerblading, almost better than around teh Greifensee.

Road Bike 3:45:00 [2] 103.0 km (27.5 kph) +1100m
Longer ride with JF to Flumserberg and back. Started in Altendorf and did the Kerenzerberg (16:30) first. A couple of hundred meters in the climb, JF increased the pace a bit and I could no longer follow. Hmmm... finally got back but I was already a bit disappointed that he dropped me so easily. In the climb to Flumserberg, I was riding my own pace, not pushing at all, riding around 12km/h. JF dropped at some point. My legs started to feel worse and worse and 3/4 in the climb, I could barely turn the cranks anymore... made it to Tannheim (41:30) but refused to do the other 2km up to Tannenboden as my legs were totally worn out. Down in the flat, we had nice tailwind and JF was riding with 40km/h, while I was trying to draft. Before Kerenzerberg, I could no longer follow him and told him to continue on his own. Was then riding alone with 25km/h to Ziegelbrücke and took the train back to Pfäffikon...how humiliating... I was deeply disappointed about my cycling shape, it felt as I've been on the bike for the first time this year. I actually want to ride the Zürimetztgete this year but I really doubt that I can make the 100km course.

Road Bike 1:30:00 [2] 43.0 km (28.7 kph) +250m
Riding home from work, via Rappi - Feldmeilen- Herrliberg - Forch - ZH. It was already raining when I started but cleared up on the way. Discovered the probably steepest paved road around Zurich and could not resist to ride it. It started in Herrliberg on the road to Wetzwil. The road sign indicated a max. incline of 27%! :) My computer showed 23% though. The climb is not that long but really brutal!! Almost caught a cramp while standing on pedals. I guess the average incline of the climb is around 17%.
Road Bike 45:00 [2] 19.5 km (26.0 kph) +360m
My home loop, after work. Haven't been on the bike for almost three weeks, really missed it. Climbing went not that smooth, no Ricco gear.
