The BALD Peak



We went hiking last weekend with Matt and Caroline.  Got some great views of the Feldberg which still had snow on it and down into the valley of Freiburg.  We could even see the Swiss Alps far off in the background.  It was chilly, but a sunny, glorious day!

This weekend - Shopping in Strasbourg!

Black Forest Mountain Biking and Route Finding

The weather has been very mild in Freiburg this winter and we have been able to Mountain bike and road ride the last few weeks (although bundled up!). Our friend Ralf took us on a great MTB ride on the local Freiburg hill 'Rosskopf' a couple of weekends ago. Some of the trails can be hard to find so I have started logging the good ones so we can find them again later. This one was especially good!

Here is a look at the route

Cross Country Skiing in Our Backyard

It was a beautiful day today...we went skiing with Ralf and Thomas on the Shauinsland. Fantasic trails, scenic views, and superb wipeouts by Mike. You could see all the way to the Swiss Alps today!
