🇨🇭 🇦🇹 bioMTB-Touren Ostschweiz und Vorarlberg

The weather wasn't as nice and warm as predicted, but still quite pleasant at 9-14°C with clear clouds, the wind wasn't a big problem.

The round is of course largely flat, as it is usually quite close to the lake.

The path from border A-D up to and including Lindau is technically not worth it for MTB… read more

Simple organic round in perfect cloudless dream weather 🤩 with 10-15°C 😍 and very good visibility.

Once again found out that altitude meters are (or can be) very tough with the bioBike, on foot I can do 3x more with less effort, but also about 4x slower... but that's what the two-wheeler is there for, to be faster 😉

The round was not as easy and ringing as it looks at first glance:

A cool piece of trail about 2.5 km long, only slowly mobile because very narrow and curvy, sometimes push because of branches of forest work. Ascents to the vineyards are quite steep (up to 17% at km 18), I pushed some of them here. That… read more

The weather forecast looked better for the Lake Constance region than for the mountains. So load the bike at short notice and off to the lake...

And then it was actually like that, partly blue sky with sun, partly with clouds, extremely pleasant 9-12°C, great view over Lake Constance to Germany. Towards… read more

Short bike tour so I don't forget how to bike....

Cool but still bearable 2-3°C, largely snow-free and reasonably dry. My wimp limit is otherwise 5°C, no snow and halfway dry....

Despite shoe covers, slightly cold toes, but only a pair of trousers was bearable so far.

After pre-cooking (Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder) and before the evening feast, a cozy New Year's round in between with very pleasant weather, very nice on the bike today 😍

And here is my appetizer:



My recipe can be seen in the last photo.

Nice and cozy end-of-year round 2021 along the Thur, which has a lot of rushing water due to rain and snowmelt, from Bischofszell to Weinfelden and back.

Quite pleasant weather with warm 13-16 ° C 🌡, mostly driven on tar or gravel, surface damp and wet, locally also muddy.

In between high, snow gone, temperature over 5 ° C, so for a moment on the bike. At the moment it is not so good at altitude anyway because of the wet, rainy snow ...

Although I'm actually in pretty good shape, I had a bit of trouble today 🦵, (bio) biking will definitely not be my favorite anymore, because… read more

Short lap in the home area during intermediate high, roads and good paths so far quite dried out (I didn't do trails), partly with sun, temp. 1-4 ° C.

Basically nice to ride, change between (too) warm and (too) cold - at the end totally sweaty and still cold toes - pleasant is a bit different ..... but… read more

For the sake of the nice weather, a round in the home area, unfortunately only possible for a short time due to the time. Temperature around 15 ° C.



According to Komoot, that was my 6️⃣6️⃣6️⃣. Tour 🥰 since the beginning of February 2019 (OK, 2-3 tours are included, but no ski lift tours 😉).

After the strong foehn wind subsided a bit, I still swung briefly on the bike (before that it would not have been so pleasant 🌬).

After a week of hiking in the snow, today again for a short time on the bike.

For me, organic biking is nowhere near as beautiful as mountain hiking (but more rigorous 🙃), but as a change it is a great alternative for body and mind 😂 and therefore still very beautiful and demanding.

After the weather finally improved a bit after midday, I was able to go on a bike tour again 😊 mostly on rather good trails.

A simple but relaxed intermediate round with the bioMTB before going on another vacation trip. Weather nice at 14-22 ° C.

Bio-bike tour, because my eMTB is out of order.

But it is by no means a full replacement, good as a replacement solution, for flat tours or for a change. The biggest disadvantage is that (for me) there are no longer any big and difficult tours. A lot of Chrampf and only limited fun - but you have to do something 😂

In 4 monsters I get a new frame.

Once again a simple excursion into the beautiful Rhine delta, with the mouths of the Old Rhine, New Rhine, Dornbirner Ache and Bregenzer Ache.

Great area with an enormous amount of water, nature and birds. Very, very worthwhile 👌

Almost no vertical meters, but what counts is the experience and not the… read more

Extremely nice, rather flat river tour, well suited for bioBike. In the area where the Thur joins the Rhine, mosquitoes are currently swarming, so it was only kept there for a very short time (when driving, that's fine, I'm faster than the mosquitoes 😉)

Werner then on Thursday I could only see you from the autobahn. Was picking up relatives in Libingen.

Since my eMTB is broken, I did a tour with the bioMTB, just a little easier and less strict 😉

Depending on the region, most of the paths are tarred or well graveled. But also 2 zones with quite poisonous trails (mud, roots, wood ...) with it.

I have never (!) Seen so many cyclists as on this tour, in… read more
