Fine German engineering that is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I met Katha in Kempten and cycled up to a little BBQ spot just out of town where we BBQed with her friends before moving to a little hut in the forest that they had rented. We had a bon fire in the evening and spent the time chatting and listening to fine chilled trance and house sounds.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday afternoon I cruised off to Untermaiselstein and caught up with Deidre there.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was spent cycling. I headed off and rode the same route that Frauke and I rode a couple of years ago, Nesselwang, Pfronten, Reute, Tannheimertal, Oberjoch etc. It was very nice weather for riding. A good ride.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening it was back to catch up with Katha at the hut. We celebrated her Birthday at midnight and I crawled under a table to sleep in the not so wee hours of the morning. At 8 am it was off to catch a train back to Freiburg. I rode through Kempten and had a nice ride down to Wangen, which although is named Wangen in Allgaeu is in Baden Wuertemburg and therefore the Baden Wuertemburg all-you-can-eat train ticket is valid there. Whoope.<\/p>\n<p>A train ride back to Freiburg followed by a nice mountain bike ride with Leonie up to Rosskopf and then around the back and down and out near Gundelfingen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/The-hut-in-Kemptenerwald-Kempten-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;margin: 0px;padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px;padding-top: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"The hut in Kemptenerwald (Kempten)-small\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/The-hut-in-Kemptenerwald-Kempten-small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bonfire%0CKempten.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;margin: 0px;padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px;padding-top: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Bonfire (Kempten)-small\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Bonfire-Kempten-small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: At the hut in the Kempten Forest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Off-riding-Austria-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;margin: 0px;padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px;padding-top: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Off riding (Austria)-small\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Off-riding-Austria-small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Climbing-to-Tannheimer-Tal-Austria-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;border-left: 0px;padding-left: 0px;padding-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-right: 0px;padding-top: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Climbing to Tannheimer Tal (Austria)-small\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Climbing-to-Tannheimer-Tal-Austria-small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"229\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above: Riding in Austria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I headed over to Allgaeu on Thursday.
