CrispNZ Trips

Above: The boss suggested we head into the Innenstadt for some wine tasting after work. Here’s part of the INUMAC group at the Freiburg Weinfest.

Frauke and I went for a ride into Austria to Reutte and then back through Tannheimer Tal. The weather was nice and the riding was grand. Below is a dinky wee map of our route.

We are currently waiting in the assistance point A2 for Nike. According to the GPS tracking they are about 9 km away finishing the trekking stage. It’s been pretty hectic trying to get gear sorted and what-not. We got into A2 yesterday about 11pm and got to bed about 12:30am before getting up this morning at 4:30am. We had trouble locating T6 as the instructions were a bit rubbish and we ended up in the old-town of Loriga.

We’ve been lucky to befriend a few other teams and last night we drove behind them to A2 using their GPS to navigate. Better than trusting my navigation by night.

I’ve posted some videos from yesterday below.
