November 2, 2021,Afterwork&AfterrainTürli hoch bis zur Schneegrenze bei etwa 1330m kurz unterhalb der GössigerHöchi

After work and after the rain in the early afternoon, dry for a moment and quickly go up again to see how far it has purred down on site ......
.... When I came, there was snow from about 1330 m, before, directly with the snowfall, it should have remained 50-100 m lower down for a short time ...

December 31, 2023,2023-Bike-Abschlussründli: Letzter Homerun zum Ende eines wieder tollen Bikejahrs

Today: Short home loop up towards Gössiger Höchi. Mostly asphalt. Getting sunnier and sunnier.

Conclusion of the bike year 2023:
I baked slightly smaller rolls this year:
In the end there were 182 tours / 514 hours / 9050 km / 244,000 meters on the bike, all about 10% less on average compared to the last three years...
...but in …

May 21, 2022,Testrunde mit dem neuen Motor rund um Ebnat-Kappel und hoch zur GössigerHöchi

After almost 11 months and approx. 175 tours with 8,000 km and almost 220,000 vertical meters, the motor in the new bike apparently decided last week that it had had enough of me and kept sending 7 different error messages on the display before it always switched itself off (not without saying goodbye every time with "Goodbye" on the display... …

November 2, 2022,Erste doch schon recht kühle Spätherbstrunde: ThurTrails, GössigerHöchi, ScherbTrails

But it was quite cool towards the end of the round when the sun slowly disappears.... after the warm days at Lago di Como I still have to get used to it and take more pants and a jacket with me....

At the beginning around 2 a.m. it was still quite mild, the cold came later...

October 17, 2022,Für ne SunsetRunde über die GössigerHöchi hat's nach der Arbeit doch noch gereicht🍁

Great day today, but I went back to work today for the first time after the holidays....
... but luckily it was enough for a small detour on the way home to Sunset via the GössigerHöchi from a quarter to six....

October 21, 2021,Kurze, aber im Schatten schon recht frische Runde nach Nesslau und hoch Richtung GössigerHöhi

After 10 days on Elba I have to get used to the new temperatures here today, and not entirely voluntarily ...
Definitely wasn't wearing enough and that's why at some point I decided to leave it for today….
But it was nice anyway ... the Indian Summer has also found its way into Toggenburg ....

May 4, 2022,Kurzer veganer Ausritt mit meinem alten Scott über den Scherb auf die GössigerHöchi

Very short fast lap before noon...
...for the first time this season again with the bike on the GössigerHöchi.... , so I was now back on six of my seven local bike mountains around the Ebnat-Kappel.... only the last one is missing, the Wannenspitzli... there's always a past stubborn snowfield at the top...
Trails still wet, but easy to ride..., …

June 17, 2022,Nur zur Arbeit: Auf direktem Weg hin, mit Umweg über Bendel und Scherb zurück

All well after my fall six days ago... only a few scrapes and a bruise on my hip (pic 2) still reminds me...

Today on the way there even took the shortest way to work...😂
