Kickley Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Super nice, varied and quite demanding. In between pushing and carrying is announced (S3-S4) at about 300 meters. Pity for all E-Mtb drivers. Still worth it. Nice rest areas, great rock formations and beautiful trails.

The steep climb is worthwhile. Coming out of the forest suddenly opens up a free area with heather growth. The view is breathtakingly beautiful!

May 25, 2023,Nideggen auf den Spuren von Nadine & Swoop 🤩

23km670hm| I put together the surprising tour from sections by Nadine and Swoop. Thanks for that! 🍻

The first surprise was that when approaching, you drive from the flats down into the mountains. 😁 Then that the Buntsandstein nature reserve is crisscrossed with countless trails. 🤔 And that the off grid sections are very steep. That's why I left out …

26km760hm| This time I left out the very steep sections - at least when driving down. 😁 Because I was riding the E, I rode some uphills that would have made me run in a bio lap. But they were an additional challenge. 😍

Obermaubach as always very nice😍😍😍
However, I found it very slippery 🤔
And on the Enduro Line you could clearly see how much a trail suffers when the frequency is too high in wet conditions 🫤🤔🤔🤔
Weather-wise it was a snag-free landing..When the rain started, we were at the car🤘😉

Wow... what a great session.

The first time with the e-bike in Nideggen... hmm 🤔, they say the e-bike is more solid on the trail... hmmm... but I have to say... my YT (bio) flies better over it trails. 🙃
But with my Biobike I would never have managed 1200 meters in altitude and 30 km in less than 2 …

Oh that was nice again 💞
But blatantly warm today 🤪
Oh yes, and the blackberries have spread really meanly in this weather over the last few weeks... 🙈

A little tour in Nideggen... no, of course, in Obermaubach😍
It was a lot of fun.

I still have a few pushing and walking sections... Steep sections and curves that trigger sudden movements are still very painful... But think pink... it's getting better. 🤘🤘🤘
Oh yeah, and that means Swoop is lucky and can do the descents twice 😂🤘

October 25, 2022,Das hätte ich gestern schon machen sollen!! Nideggen

That was for the soul
and it was so badly needed. 💞
I can't even say what helped more to get rid of everything when kicking up or the free feeling when shooting down.

Only the last piece up was fat lousy... Gravel piled up without end. 😳
Apart from the fact that it is extremely difficult to get up …

Well, I wanted to come back very quickly 🤭
It was nice... This time we explored the other side again.
That was a good idea in the afternoon because it was very quiet there and we went over there in the evening.
Hach here is everything: wow!! 🤘😎
