To shorten the long journey we did some biking before and after the fair.<br />
We headed to the Ötztal, a valley surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Austria.<br />
Weather was great, the whole days we just had sunshine, even above 3000 m it was quite hot.<br />
<br />
The first uphill to a hut was easy, on a not to steep gravel road. After a rest we left for another<br />
500 m of uphill. Most of the singletrack was ridable for us. The scenery is quite amazing, <br />
high mountains with glacier everywhere. <br />
I didn´t sleep very well in the camp, also my back was aching. So much that I wasn´t sure <br />
if I could make it to the planned summit this day. I walked and carried my bike very carefully, <br />
not to make any wrong movement, but in the end it got better, after 1000 m with the bikes<br />
on our shoulders we stood on the summit. I´ve never been that high - 3455m!<br />
The downhill had it all: steep sections with high steps, tight turns, loose gravel, easy parts<br />
with higher speeds, but also a non rideable section with car sized rocks to cross.<br />
(Maybe Danny Macaskill would have fun there!)<br />
Martin had his heavy DSLR camera with him, so we did a lot of photos.<br />
Exhausted but happy we were back at the hut, grabbed the rest of our gear and headed down<br />
for the rest of the dowhill.<br />
The last 2 days of our trip we spent in Sölden riding the bikepark there. <br />
Despite having no uphills, it was more exhausting than the 2 days before!<br />
<br />
Thanks to Martin and Mihi for your company! :-)<br />

<div abp="958">
After a long time I have done a new video.</div>
</div>
<div abp="128">
<div abp="960">
No epic time lapse, no slow motion scenes and no "Sail" from Awolnation ... ;-)</div>
</div>
<div abp="129">
<div abp="962">
It´s a low effort vid, put together with a simple programm.</div>

Just me riding up and down on one of my favorite trails.</div>
</div>
<div abp="131">
<div abp="966">
I was there several times this year, I especially like the mix between difficult lines</div>

<div abp="132">

on the upper part and flowy trails at the end.</div>

There is no real summit, therefor no great views from above - nevertheless it´s </div>

a great scenery. Also the trail is not marked, so there is a good chance you won´t</div>

<div abp="958">
My latest trip led me to the region of the highest mountain in Austria - the "Hohe Tauern".</div>
</div>
<div abp="127">
<div abp="960">
Glacier covered mountains, difficult trails and rocks that offer lots of grip.</div>
</div>
<div abp="128">
<div abp="962">
Compared to the trails I did in the Dolomites, these here are steeper and more demanding.</div>
</div>
<div abp="129">
<div abp="964">
</div>
</div>
<div abp="130">
<div abp="966">
One of them I did quite often over the last years. It´s not that hard to get up, thanks to a road</div>
</div>
<div abp="131">
<div abp="968">
they build up to a man made lake. Depending on how much descent you wanna do,</div>
</div>
<div abp="132">
<div abp="970">
you can either start at the lake or hike up to a glacier. The second version offers </div>
<div abp="970">
about 1100 meters of descent - and most of them are a hard work down.</div>
</div>
<div abp="134">
<div abp="974">
Lots of sections are tricky: either they are steep or have tight switchbacks or high steeps -</div>
</div>
<div abp="135">
<div abp="976">
often a combination of all.</div>
</div>
<div abp="136">
<div abp="978">
One is very special to me: till 2010 we didn´t even consider riding this section. </div>
</div>
<div abp="137">
<div abp="980">
It´s like a stairway made of rocks, very steep and - the tricky part - a "S"-bend curve.</div>
</div>
<div abp="138">
<div abp="982">
So you can´t just open your brakes, you have to do it really slow.</div>
</div>
<div abp="139">
<div abp="984">
In 2011 I had an incredibly good day and for the first time I could ride it flawlessly.</div>
</div>
<div abp="140">
<div abp="986">
One year later I was too scared of the steepness and failed.</div>
</div>
<div abp="141">
<div abp="988">
This year - with my new bike - I had enough confidence to master it again.</div>
</div>
<div abp="142">
<div abp="990">
</div>
</div>
<div abp="143">
<div abp="992">
Due the high level of difficulty and therefore slow speed it takes a long time to get back</div>
</div>
<div abp="144">
<div abp="994">
to the starting point. Only the last meters are a simple, fast singletrack - pure enjoyment</div>
</div>
<div abp="145">
<div abp="996">
after all the exhausting riding.</div>
</div>
<div abp="146">
<div abp="998">
</div>
</div>
<div abp="147">
<div abp="1000">
The pictures below on the slick rocks - polished from the glacier long time ago -are "selfies".</div>
</div>
<div abp="148">
<div abp="1002">
What can't be seen on the pictures is the cold and strong wind, <span abp="2227" style="line-height: 20.8px;">making </span>it a very </div>
</div>
<div abp="149">
<div abp="1004">
uncomfortably place to be. With stones I build a small tower for my camera to put it</div>
</div>
<div abp="150">
<div abp="1006">
in a higher position, setting it to the 10 sec selftimer function, pushed the trigger and </div>
</div>
<div abp="151">
<div abp="1008">
hurried to my bike - hoping that I´m at the right place at the right time ...</div>

Like every year I make a trip to the Dolomites.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="128">
<div abp="960">
<div abp="962">
It´s not only the landscape that´s outstanding, there is also a dense trail and road network.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="129">
<div abp="962">
<div abp="965">
Some of them were build in the first World War at the Austrian Italien frontier.</div>

One of the trails I rode twice this year is a real highlight:</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="132">
<div abp="968">
<div abp="974">
it summens up everything that a bikeride in the Dolomites is all about!</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="133">
<div abp="970">
<div abp="977">
You have an amazing scenery the whole tour, steep uphills and a good mix of singletrails.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="134">
<div abp="972">
<div abp="980">
First the uphill starts slowly on a small gravel road, gradually getting steeper - finally you have</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="135">
<div abp="974">
<div abp="983">
a 20 to 30 % incline with lots of loose gravel ... After 600 m ascent you can either make a rest in a nearby hut or directly turn into a singletrail with another 200 meters of uphill.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="136">
<div abp="976">
<div abp="986">
The trail then goes up and down for quite a while beneath a 3000 m summit.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="137">
<div abp="978">
<div abp="989">
Finally you are at the highest point where a long descent starts. There a some tight switchbacks and steeper sections mixing up with faster, narrow singletrails.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div abp="138">
<div abp="980">
<div abp="992">
What´s consistent is a amazing view!</div>

for a 2 day trip. Together with 2 friends - Mihi & Herwig - we were riding and walking up to the<br />
hut which is 2650 m a.s.l. Half of the way up is rideable, the other half we had to carry our bikes.<br />
As always I reduced my gear to a minimum, to keep the weight of my backpack down.<br />
No problem as the first day was very warm and sunny, but the next morning when we headed for<br />
the summit, it was freezing cold and a strong wind made it even more chilly ...<br />
I went up in a fast pace to keep my body warm, only my fingers got a bit cold.<br />
<br />
Because of fog and the cold wind we didn´t walk up to the main summit (beside there is a 50 m<br />
long, difficult section with ropes where you need 2 people to get one bike up and down).<br />
So we were resting at the lower summit, hiding from the wind and prepared ourselves for the descent.<br />
The downhill isn´t that difficult, there are some long slopes with fine gravel which are fun to ride.<br />
Altogether we had 2200 m of downhill on this day. From a 3192 m peak with glaciers and snow<br />
to the green and warm valley.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Martin, Herwig and Mihi for their company!<br />

Still in April all of the surrounding mountains<br />
were covered with snow. Despite that fact <a href="http://www.trickytrails.com/">Martin</a> came up with a "good" idea:<br />
Riding with our bikes up a well known mountain near Graz, stay for the night <br />
in a tent and head for the downhill the next morning!<br />
Martin H. was also crazy enough to join us. ;-)<br />
We knew that the weather was going to be bad - about minus 2°, tense fog and snowfall ...<br />
We were all surprised how much snow there was on this mountain (1445 m a.s.l.).<br />
30" of snow everywhere and we had the 6th of April!<br />
<br />
After riding up and some fooling around on a kind of ski slope we searched for a good place<br />
to put up our tent. Martin was eager to build a igloo, so we shoveld like crazy, good thing was<br />
it kept us warm. Meanwhile we tried to start a fire, which took us a long time because<br />
of the snowfall. After hours of digging we compared our nearly finished igloo with our tent ...<br />
the tent looked much more comfortably!<br />
<br />
The night wasn´t that cold as feared (because my sleeping bag is only good for about +5°),<br />
anyhow we got up before 6 o´clock, slipping in our cold clothes and frozen shoes.<br />
<br />
The bikes were covered with ice, the brakes and the suspension needed some time<br />
till they worked properly.<br />
The downhill was great, a nice singletrack and the cold snow had a good grip.<br />
<br />
If you ask yourself why are our backpacks so small?: There is a cablecar on this mountain, <br />
so we transportated the big parts with it.<br />
<br />
All in all it was a real good trip, something you will remember for a long time!<br />

Take a great mountain scenery, blue skies, cover the mountain peaks with some<br />
fresh snow (just for the looks!) and ride your bike there with a friend.<br />
<br />
The summit Martin and I did on this day is not a famous one, not a really high one<br />
and hasn´t a spectacular downhill. But it offers a great view, including the highest<br />
mountain of Austria - the Großglockner.<br />
On our way down we often grapped our cameras to "memorize" this perfect day.<br />
<br />
Sometimes it´s not all about the bikeride, on a day like this it´s about being there<br />
at this particular moment.<br />
<br />

Even after some research<br />
on maps and the internet, you are not sure if the trail is rideable and worth hours of walking up.<br />
<br />
Right from the parking place the trail is steeply rising, leading us trough a narrow valley.<br />
After 2 hours of walking we can see "our" summit high above (marked with the arrow).<br />

It took us 4 more hours till we reached the top. The scenery is so amazing, you can understand why some<br />
people say, that the dolomites are one of the most beautiful mountains in the world.<br />
Tired but happy on our way up: (klick on the pic, it´s 1600 pix wide)<br />

This time our exploration was a complete success!Horsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12189232165311675576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681577526145437252.post-52348885349294145782012-09-10T08:40:00.002-07:002012-09-10T08:42:23.983-07:00EurobiketourMartin and myself are on our way to the Eurobike trade fair in Friedrichshafen.<br />
We make a stop in Tirol for two rides, thanks to Thomas for shelter and guidance.<br />
<br />
The first day we have to carry our bikes most of the time till we reach the top of<br />
the mountain. Weather is perfect - as you can see on the photos below.<br />
The downhill is mixture of (slick) rocks at the top and loose gravel in the midsection<br />
of the mountain. To avoid the boring final downhill we make some extra altitude, <br />
walking up to a smaller summit next to the main one. The reward for our effort <br />
is a long singletrail with lots of flow down to our starting point. <br />
This is one of the best rides I had this year!<br />
<br />
On our second day we already start at 2000 meters above sea level. First part <br />
was easy on a paved road, after that our bikes are mostly on our shoulders.<br />
We are not reaching the summit, the last part is very steep and also there are to much<br />
hikers on the trail, which is not a good thing when you are trying to ride a section<br />
and always have to wait till the hikers have passed. (Here in Austria 99.9 % of the <br />
trails are illegal to ride with a bike, so you always give way to a hiker)<br />
<br />
The first 5 photos are from day one, the last 2 from the second day.<br />
(Photos shot by Martin and myself)<br />

I gave him the name "Psychotrail" because there are several sections <br />
which are a "No crash zone" because of the steepness of the mountain. <br />
Not only a challenge to ride, also a mental challenge.<br />
I took my 24" back wheel to slacken the headangle to be safer on the<br />
steepest sections.<br />

So I took my camera and started filming my favorite hometrails.<br />
As with most of my videos I´m mostly filming the slow & technical stuff because<br />
it´s not that time-consuming as filming a fast trail and also this is the stuff I do most of the time.<br />
This video shows 3 of the most technical trails around my area, some with handbuilt<br />
lines over rocks and trees.<br />

The beginning is from autumn 2011 me riding a technical trail in the Alps.<br />
It´s a mostly "No-Flow" trail, with lots of demanding sections.<br />
The second part shows my kind of winter training - practicing trial moves.<br />
First I try to learn them on the hardtail, then move to my full-suspension bike<br />
so I`m able to ride trails like you´ve seen in the beginning.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

but this one was even harder. Even though it was described as an easy 3000 m<br />
mountain, trying to make it with a bike was a challenge. I did this trip together with Mihi,<br />
on the first day we made the first 800 meters of uphill till we reached the hut. <br />
On the next day we had to walk another 800 meters in altitude, finally reaching the top. <br />
On my way up I was insecure, most of the path are only rocks in all sizes, so it was like <br />
a big, natural trial track. To be honest, I wasn´t able to ride everything, but in the end I <br />
managed to do about 90 % of it.<br />
From the top till the hut it took us about 3 hours, mostly doing this kinda trial-biking! <br />
I never was that exhausted and tired, both my body and my head.<br />
<br />
Special thanks to the innkeeper of the Arthur von Schmid hut, he really appreciated our doing,<br />
he even wanted a photo of us (with bike) on the summit!<br />
<br />
Thanks also to Mihi for doing most of the film work.<br />
<br />
This is not a mountain you will do often, but the emotions after such a ride are very special!<br />

just to get myself in shape. Yesterday was different: I wanted to <br />
do 3 of my hometrails in a row. So I started after midday, weather was fine <br />
and I rode the first 500 m (difference in altitude) up in the hot sun.<br />
A nice & flowy downhill and I went up for the next mountain. No more sun, <br />
dark clouds everywhere and after 15 minutes it started to rain. The kind of weather <br />
we had all the last week. Normally I would cancel the tour and head home. <br />
This time I thought: "Now I have the real world test for my new <a href="http://www.endura.co.uk/Product.aspx?dept_id=122&prod_id=454">Endura Pakajak Jacket</a>"!<br />
Last week Jim and his team from Endura sent some new parts, including<br />
the eagerly awaited Pakajak Jacket. A very small & showerproof Jacket, <br />
finding place even in the smallest rucksack! For the next 30 minutes it was raining, <br />
making the uphill a challenge with all the wet roots. Up on the mountain the weather <br />
was changing once again and there was a short sunny period for the downhill. <br />
With a dirty bike, wet shoes and gloves I started the third uphill and yes: it started to rain! ...<br />
I was surprised that I still could push myself up in a good pace.<br />
I took the shortest way down - not only I was exhausted, also a thunder storm was closing in!<br />
The last 15 minutes I had intense rain but it didn´t bother me as I had reached my goal!<br />
In the end it took me 5 1/2 hours for all 3 mountains summing up to 1700 m difference in elevation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Conclusion: The Pakajak exceeded my expectations, I couldn´t have finished my tour without <br />
a (this rain) jacket. As I always carry a jacket with me, regardless the weather (for emergency situations),<br />
this one helps me to save weight and packing size.<br />
<br />
At this point I would like to thank Jim and his team at <a href="http://www.endura.co.uk/">Endura</a>!<br />
<br />
<br />
This little fellow likes it too! ;-)<br />

With lots of apparel from <a href="http://www.endura.co.uk/">Endura</a>!<br />
Thanks to Jim and his team!<br />
<br />
Also thanks to <a href="http://www.bikewithpassion.com/">Johannes</a> for making great photos.<br />
<br />
So I dressed up and went for a ride.<br />
Luckily there was no fog up in the mountains, just blue sky!<br />

A Mountain bike trip into the heart of the Hochschwab! A mountain range near <br />
my hometown. <a href="http://www.bikewithpassion.com/">Johannes</a> and myself with our bikes, Andi with a big (!) backpack full of<br />
Video equipment. After more than 4 hours mostly carring our bikes we had a short break<br />
at the refuge. Luckily we were fast enough to reach the top before sunset!<br />
What a great view, a touching moment ... A sunset on a mountain is really something special!<br />
<br />
After a short night we started filming about 5 o´clock the next day. Section after section we <br />
rode down, Andi had to walk a lot to find the perfect spots for filming. It took us long after <br />
midday till we reached our starting point. What a great trip, what a great experience!<br />
<br />
And here it is:<br />

On the top there was some snow and also ice passages. Altogether there are 1900 m of downhill! <br />
But first you have to get up, 900 m mostly carrying the bike! <br />
We were lucky to have perfect weather and thanks to Andi (www.amotion.at) who was filming.<br />

Every time I see this mountain down from valley, I´m surprised that you can ride such a mountain!<br />
The red marking shows the first 900 m of downhill, still 1000 m of singletrails are waiting!<br />

<br />
As an 11 year old boy I got my first race bike:<br />
a used "Chesini" from my father.<br />
The first picture shows me on top of the Großglockner road!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately there is no picture from my first MTB (1984; a RWC with 15 gears).<br />
<br />
From 1988 on for the next 4 years I had a Scott Windriver (Shimano XT with 18 gears). <br />
With this bike I made my first attempts in the alps. <br />
The wiggly picture shows me near the Seekofel area in Italy.<br />
<br />
Playing around in Greece, where I worked as a Guide for 2 summers.<br />
<br />
Last one: my time as an XC rider, getting air with my Kona Explosif steel frame. <br />

The first section is very exposed to a cliff, the more technical stuff after it is very steep.<br />
Unfortunately you can´t really see it on the video.<br />

Despite the fact that today the mountains surrounding my hometown are fresh covered with snow!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from this week:<br />
Fine, warm weather on wednesday, the first 800 m climb this season.<br />
I was a little bit exhausted ...<br />
Nice view from the top!<br />

(thanks to Daniel, Wolfgang, Martin & Johannes for their invitation)<br />
A steep, technical trail under the chair-lift.<br />
