Closing Store In Cover Letter

Feierabendrunde by MOL

By the time change on Sunday there is an hour more daylight and good opportunity for a short training ride. Even the rain radar shows no rain, well, it's just not the weekend: o)) and so I roll out on the last Tuesday in March in Berlin after Kaulsdorf Hönow. Apart from this intersection on the L33 in the district that I live again passing
can I avoid the evening traffic on secondary roads. Behind this rural area then begins to side roads, you course is also followed by cars with an evil look.
A narrow path here to save the city wall of a Altlandsberg the dreaded cobblestones, after all, one is on the ZR1, the slip road bike route from the subway station Hönow to Strausberg largely R1 .
At the end of the wall is the poorhouse
see the people in there and the cars in front of anything but impoverished.
Continue on good bike paths that were even exempt from the winter grit, to break mill. By-pass from Altlandsberg and thereby gives better access to the motorway is now much more traffic and get people here felt in breaking mill, which naturally want a ring road, the next ones are then in Eggersdorf etc.
I'm glad to not be in the market have driven down the street and from that standpoint, I have I rigged up my training ride.
Miraculously, it goes without fault by breaking mill and I turn off the road to the newly created bike path in the woods. As can be seen on the plate, there is no winter service.
The summer maintenance has still winter sleep, and so is due to the greasy dirt, each curve a thrill.
If one stays here, one can only smile. Most drive instead of the permitted 50km / h between 60 and 70km / h. Some are motorized and create many more apparently better. Almost all slow but on the plate at 100 yards further back lawn.
In Lichtenow I'm doing a short break in the old kiln, as it runs shivers down my back, in semi-darkness I must find terrified of having slept through the first kilometer with my 1000th Hopper.
is Near Grünheide then gone about my anger and I am enjoying the evening atmosphere at the lake. The last miles home on Erkner and Schöneiche I meet very few cars. Schumi running around or playing Bayern Munich? At home I think of it, today was the last day of school before the Easter holidays and everything that has wheels, is in the distance. Moreover, I think Bayern played really well, I do not know because I am soccer muffle.
have the 73 km of my training ride and dropped me at least it is not intended to be the last time I drove it.

Solution Electric Box 1 Iphone

racing round without a road bike to Philadelphia

I will not again complain about the weather, but today if they had been at least half as beautiful as on most days in the past week ... It was not. Wittenberg got my tour anyway because of cloudy weather moved back and join in a couple of racing cyclists who make use of Schöneweide a round to Philadelphia (in BRANDENBURG, BRANDENBURG ,...). As rain on the road bike rides are worse than on the recumbent bike, I go with the grass hopper. I want to try anyway me, what shall pass with the grass hoppers, which really is not the embodiment of the materialization of an uncompromising racer. As we know, are recumbents slow uphill and downhill faster, of course it also depends on the driver. Therefore, I have a queasy feeling in anticipation of what lies ahead as this to me. And as usual, at the beginning already in the city presented a very fast pace, which increased after Friedrichshagen yet.

One of the racing cyclist also has a jersey from the RSV Werner Otto and my fears are confirmed, he has not just the thing, but is also a member of this club, whose athletes are feared in cycling circles. Erkner behind it pours the first time properly, the rain will continue for a good hour.

I ride the recumbent time back, sometimes sideways, and sometimes the front, to avoid giving the impression of a lollipop. In front in the wind to pass brings to questioning the travelers behind me but not much wind shadow and my short aprons also leaves a powdery feeling on his face. I am talking back otherwise, the spray of 4 people before me saut me totally and it crunches between your teeth already.

Before eating Philadephia short break, it rains a little less:

Storkow Behind it is a bit hilly finally, here's what's always the first to pay tribute to the high initial rate and falling out the back. I try to pace the Werner-Otto-driver to hold and is doing well. He says the top, that my bike well good run ... whether he knows how hard it is mainly his driver? After a while, are the other 3 again back at it and we are now driving in sunny weather. I am very glad to have been no taillight ;-)

Berlin shortly before we separate, I must further north than the others and go on and Erkner Schöneiche home. Was a nice trip, 130 miles and included on my slow - and exit through the city an almost 28-cut. Route

Sore Throat Canker Sores And Headache

to Elector source to Bad Freienwalde

Actually I want today early, after the train Belzig, then I want to Roßlau, Coswig and Wittenberg back to the starting point. But the rain radar punishes yesterday's report lies, the only individual showers and no surface rain is predicted.
so early on my feet I want to use at least the day and make the best of it and flee from the approaching rain to the northeast. So I roll by 6 clock early at the onset of drizzle and warm 12 degrees Celsius from the city. When driving, I wonder where I could go. If I do not use one return journey by train, need I afterwards stay warm for hours with wet clothes, but can equally warm in the shower. The first 100 in a row in 2010, I would also like to finally behind me, so my choice is Bad Freienwalde. I go over and Birkenstein Altlandsberg to Strausberg, here I try out the riverside path on the east bank of the lake Straus, I recently saw on a map as a route for cyclists recommendation. The dirt road is good mobile and you have a beautiful view over the still-frozen lake to Strausberg.
Straussee in Strausberg
It continues at the airport Strausberg by on the bike path or direction. This time branches in the forest but I at an intersection and driving on a muddy bumpy road for just under 2 kilometers to Prötzel. Then again it is on asphalt hilly conditions for Brandenburg, the road to star Beck is quite bumpy. Behind the well-known star Beck cobbled waiting for me, sometimes I may miss out on the sandy shoulder of the shaking. In the woods just before I meet the B158 to the local traffic to escape to Poland, unfortunately, a bad decision, I rely on the good state at the beginning of the way through the Brunnental. Only it's going not too bad, then get mud, puddles, and worse, ice and snow. With the mountain bike no problem, but with the recumbent? Luckily I still have my well profiled "snow tires (ContiContakt) installed, and so I must push rare.

When I get to eternity, and an estimated over 6 kilometers at the mud bath Bad Freienwalde, received my Grasshopper even his mud pack. At the elector source I do try and break the spring water. Does not taste bad, does not hide behind purchased bottled water. I look around at the little mud bath, a beautiful new building complex is formed. Sorry, there are some old buildings have become useless because and doing nothing now. Nearby is also "Germany's northernmost ski area" with the Pape basic jump.
The Pape base jump in bath Freienwalde

just set off again until I get past a bakery with a cafe. Who knows when is the next opportunity, and I do the same again Rast, this time with coffee and cake. Now I have to southeast along the B167 to Wriezen Kunersdorf to there on the bike path and Strausberg, or come back for home. The first little annoying drizzle has developed into a mature, steady rain and the wind is doing its best to make the return trip a memorable experience. While driving on the 25-kilometer-long piece of the bike trail to Strausberg I wonder if it is not better, there to board the train. Because of the long Zugtaktes of 40 minutes I would have to wait half an hour and freeze safely, so I leave the station turn left and go lie despite strong Car traffic on towards Berlin. So I come in this year for the first time made it over the 100 mark, a total of 126km quite at home.
Here's the route.

What Does Frostbite Look On A Dog

A rainy Sunday

Today it's raining again now and then and the wind has increased. Ideal Liegeradwetter. After yesterday I was driving round a rather wet, I will go back under similar conditions and test out on my rain gear. Today and I'm a real rain pants and a rain jacket in vapor-permeable Texapore. The tour goes on to Schöneiche Woltersdorfer lock. Here is nothing going on around noon and I treat myself in the kiosk at the lock and coffee cake.
Whether such a warning label uses something?
About the track, I'm still not so clear in the first time and go on to Erkner. For a Sunday round me are the 25 km ridden too little and so I extend the tour to a loop on the Spree River bike path. Just before New Zittau is the road through the winter in such poor condition that it is difficult not to fall into a hole. I go back to the R1-Köpenick and then back on the Wuhleweg home. Today it became 61 km.
The rain jacket has proved better than expected, the soft shell jacket it is only a little damp inside. For the pants, it looks different and also the rustling annoying when driving, so I will abstain from them.

How To Make Seaside Sarong For Webkinz

yet still no spring in sight

It is soon in mid-March and the weather will not really. After a few sunny days in the week it is Saturday again gray and rainy at times at temperatures around 5 degrees. Good opportunity to try out my bad-weather wardrobe. So I'm going with a soft shell jacket and a really intended for hiking pants in the direction Wuhleweg Köpenick. Has one advantage the bad weather, the road is deserted. In Köpenick I think the lock on short notice and now, the jacket keeps its promises. No trace of respiratory activity. I continue on the R1 Müggelsee along, occasionally I see joggers and cyclists. The Müggelberge appear in the mist over the still partially frozen Müggelsee.

Continue back Müggelheim, Goshen, Schmöckwitz, and in the Köpenick Wuhleweg. The light rain showers in some cases go through sleet, just sometimes comes out of the sun, as in April. While the streets until the holes can hardly imagine the past winter, some cycling under an inch thick layer of grit are gone. A miracle that spans 55 kilometers to the inevitable.
When I take off the jacket at home, I notice that she is soaking wet inside, although I've only worn a fleece sweater underneath. The trousers 65% polyester and 35% cotton has fared better, due to the Liegeradposition despite the rain, only the shins wet and altogether it feels dry. The feet are only on the soles of her through the cleats a little wet.

Phenergan/ok To Cut In Half

Sunday = Rennradtag!

hours more or less the whole day sitting around, training and on Saturday last weekend and did not come for cycling, now it MUST be!
Even the weather plays along, and plenty of sun all day. Only the temperatures have not guessed from the nearby spring, the morning 8, the thermometer shows here in Kaulsdorf on the outskirts of Berlin still minus 5 degrees. According to tile man weather it will be 3 degrees, to an unpleasant wind of 20-30km / h from northwest. This concerns us very well here in Berlin, in Hamburg are 15 inches of snow ...
Friday, I had signed up for the mailing list from Roadcycling , the tip came from Harald, whom I had met when touring with the bike group. Actually, I will again go out with my grass hoppers, but alone? Since I prefer to take the inconvenience in purchasing a road bike and ride in community. Today Harald
offers a round of S-Bahnhof Steglitz to Dobbrikow over 120km, it is cold and I decide me late to ride on. To me the time is running out and I can not make it in time for the S-Bahn. An orbit later would become scarce, and 4x transfer? So I'm going wrong with the car phone and compatible way with Harald an easy-to-find meeting place in Heinersdorf for large berries. I am a little while earlier there and ride me a little warm. Since June 2009 I did not do this bike, except for a brief dip in mid-November with friends from Mahlsdorf. It always surprises me after such a long break, road cycling, such as light and agile so goes a part. Everything is immediately converted into propulsion. Finally the little group is in sight and I'm still a quick photo.

After a short welcome it go, we are six and go to the southwest. The wind comes naturally from the side and there is little wind shadow. As Ralf out, we drive 35-37km / h, which is for me the beginning too fat and I've been playing with the idea of exit. On a brief bathroom break Harald assured me that the pace will not continue. The roads are little traffic and we go over our goal Trebbin exit Dobbrikow. The bike barn is there anybody left we make a brief coffee break, swarming in a few weeks here of motorized two wheelers.
Back we go another route, but unfortunately the wind is not turned or diminished, and comes back from the side. The sun appears only rarely and on a small side road we drive slalom Eisreste. In Saarmund the road renewed and we put a short ride through a muddy construction site. A few miles later, we hear while driving a rhythmically clacking. To Ralf's rear wheel is a spoke nipple and pulled it away for safety's sake the spoke. The bike has hardly yet to side, and so on we can go. Soon we are in Heinersdorf, I say goodbye to our little group, the wheel stash in the car and drive home. Stupid, I will ascend above Wuhlheide and get into a mega traffic jam on the old forester. Thousands of fans rise Union after a football game in their cars and want to get away, nothing works. I'm already considering to leave the car and drive to the road bike home, leaving then. Sometime I sit at the breakfast table and think back to the beautiful exit, here is the route .

Names Of Mathews Bows

0815 - Feierabendrunde

After Driving weekend (860km in two days), there is now at last opportunity for a short training ride. On the last Friday I finally had the grit still the first flat tire brought 2010, some 100 meters after I went home without air. Now I have the same tricked the patch clamping band. I also have the front instead of the originals of the 54-chainring HP for the Dual Drive with 46 teeth mounted as is disturbed because of the large gear, the chain line by the holder under the seat. I will try as fast as I with the Alfine 8-speed rear sprocket and the 18er can become one. And when the ride turns out that it's enough for my needs, I can pedaling up to 40km / h. Now it must be in the mountains and on slopes with luggage seen whether it's with one chainring and a total of 8 courses.
It's pretty windy and the rain radar does not look good - what the heck, at 16:30 clock, I'm sitting on the bike and cheating my way through the side streets on the evening rush over to Hönow. Here i will start to see if even the bike path to Altlandsberg is passable. At first it looks good


and I drive slalom around the remains of the horses in the adjacent stables.
The weather is better than expected, at 5 degrees and perceived momentum thickness 5 it rolls fine, since the path was not cleared in winter, are not disturbed by the gravel driving pleasure. Some snow remains will hopefully disappear in the next few days.
am After an hour and 25km I without a hitch with the last light to go home. After Mid-week it will be colder and snowing again, hopefully I can go back on the weekend.
