Pivot Shadowcat: geschmeidig, agil, schnell, spassig
Charakteristik meiner Touren:
Am Liebsten Single Trails mit Flow Trail Charakteristik. Deshalb ist das Leithagebirge meine Lieblingsspielwiese, denn hier findet man eine Vielzahl solcher Trails. Auch Bike Parks liebe ich.
Dennoch sind etliche meiner Touren auch Biketouren auf Fortsstrassen, zum Teil auch auf Asphalt, weil nicht anders möglich.
Schwierigkeitsbewertung:
Bei meinen Tourenbewertungen verwende ich aus 2 Gründen nicht die Singletrail Skala:
1. Sie ist für Downhill entwickelt und berücksichtigt keine Uphills
2. Sie ist primär für den Profisport entwickelt worden und für Freizeitbiker zu grob
Für e-Bikes hat Alex Sonderegger eine eigene Uphill Skala publiziert:
simplon.com/de/Explore/Magazin/Uphill-Skala-die-Schwierigkeitsgrade-im-Uphill-Flow_bba_25007
Ich folge bei meinen Tourenbeschreibungen der Bewertungsskala von Manfred Korbaj der diese Anfang der 90er Jahre publiziert hat und die den großen Vorteil hat, dass sie sowohl für den Uphill wie auch für den Downhill gilt und zwar für Bio Bikes:
0: Keine Schwierigkeiten - Asphaltierte Strasse
1: Leicht - Schotterstrasse oder Waldweg, eben oder mit geringer Steigung/Gefälle
2: Anspruchsvoll - Die Steilheit nimmt zu, die Bodenbeschaffenheit erfordert Konzentration
3: Schwierig - Die Anstiege erfordern trotz hoher Übersetzung Kraft; die Bodenbeschaffennheit erfordert bei der Abfahrt aus dem Sattel zu gehen
4: Sehr schwierig - Sehr steiles Gelände; Anstiege erfordern sehr viel Kraft und Kondition, Anstiege wie auch Abfahrten erfordern entsprechende Fahrtechniken und Gleichgewichtsvermögen
5: Überaus schwierig - Gelände überaus steil, Geländestufen mit Stein- und Wurzelwerk
6: Extrem schwierig - Gelände extrem steil, hohe Fels- und Wurzelstufen, hohe Sturzgefahr
7: Unfahrbar - Das Bike ist zu schieben oder zu tragen

After having to shorten last weekend's tour due to icy trails in the upper section, this time I planned the route to primarily stay in the lower part of the Leitha Mountains. All the trails there were easily rideable!
It was still exciting, though, because right at the start I took a path that wasn't

After the tour on the border trail at the beginning of December, the Shadowcat was so filthy that it needed a thorough cleaning/service. So I spent the last three weeks disassembling the bike down to the frame and suspension fork, cleaning it, re-greasing it, and reassembling it. Now the bike purred

After last weekend's rather strenuous tour in the Leitha Mountains, I only wanted to do a short loop this time and thought the wind farm behind Neusied/Gols/Mönchhof would be perfect – perfect.
However, the ground conditions were no better than in the Leitha Mountains. It was particularly dirty where

The goal of the tour was to find a route from Donnerskirchen to Eisenstadt that's easier to ride than the "border trail" between Lower Austria and Burgenland, which is also part of the long-distance hiking trail 02. This easier option does exist, namely at the foot of the Leitha Mountains. I've ridden

Under ideal winter touring conditions, I explored the area west of Donnerskirchen. The temperature was 3°C, there was no wind, and the ground was soft but not muddy. The first section of the trail I took already showed strong signs of becoming overgrown. It was still rideable, but some brambles snagged

Actually, I'm not really a winter person: I'm constantly cold in winter and long for summer and sunshine, except when biking. Winter (at least here in Burgenland) has many advantages: 1. The mosquitoes and other insect pests are gone. 2. The weeds that completely overrun many paths in the Leitha Mountains

It's a nice, officially permitted and marked tour, divided into two parts: approximately 50% is asphalt, the other 50% consists of pleasant trails, forest paths, and logging roads. Due to the high proportion of asphalt, the tour is also easily rideable in wetter conditions.

Autumn can conjure up beautiful atmospheres, and we were able to experience just that on this tour. The trees had only just shed a few leaves, and the entire forest was ablaze with yellow, gold, and red colors. The air itself was exceptionally clear, and on the Buchkogel, we had a view like we'd rarely

There's a trail center in Mauerbach just outside Vienna, but I didn't visit it. I decided to take a tour through the Vienna Woods in the beautiful autumnal conditions. The idea for this tour came from @Dagmar, whom I'd like to thank sincerely at this point. I had to shorten her tour a bit, though. 1

As great as January was for biking last year, this year it was a complete washout! Yes, you could put on studded tires and ride on icy roads, but the risk of slipping is still quite high. It's better to go skiing, because skis are built for snow, bikes less so.
However, the above-freezing temperatures
