Last weekend RC Pfeil Neckarsulm (www.rcpfeil.de)) hosted its annual MTB Marathon in Dahenfeld. The guy with the fastest time overall suffered a puncture and ran across the finish line :-). Great effort and a wonderful anecdote.
Today the wheater is not so beautiful and it's beginning to snow (temperature is 4 celsius degrees). it would be better skiing, but MTB on hard path is so exciting.
Moab's Slickrock Trail has been on our to-do list for a while but with it's worldwide reputation as a mountain bike Mecca, it's mobbed with bikers in season. Dodging flying motorcycles and MTB's is not much fun for hikers and it's their trail anyway, so we've stayed away. But there we were, off season this time, so we gave it a try.
It was fan-freakin-tastic, and that's by Moab's already high standards. There were just enough bikers to add interest and with the snowy mountains as backdrop to the slickrock, it was a visual paradise. I wound up with so many photos I liked that I had trouble culling out the losers. Winding up with about twenty photos you like from one day of hiking? That's a good day!

Thanksgiving time again, and we were off to find somewhere different to hike.
This year: Moab.
I'm extending the break from posting the summer photos to post the ones from our Thanksgiving trip to Moab. Sunny, (relatively) warm, great hiking, a good getaway.
At the rate I'm going, it's gonna take until February to get the summer photos up anyway, so why not take a break and post something timely?
Camera: trow away camera. 400 asa (poor quality but great memory)
Took this picture on a mtb-trip in the vercors (france).
This MTB jump photo was taken on 19/05/10 by Dimo Dimov when the Borovets Mountain Bike Park in Bulgaria was officially opened. On the day, there were a lot of MTB fans present, who had come from all over the country. There was a downhill competition on one of the tracks. In addition, there was an air bag installed and everyone who had guts and a helmet could try it out.
Pic from the most epic mtb night ride of my life (so far..)
After a bunch of beers and lard sandwitches, on the trails of Mt. Brugiana (IT) the fireflies showed us the way :)
