Heidelberg - Lake Breitenau 110 km

And 1500 meters of altitude. First of all, I have to complain today first, so great the campsite was, my tent neighbor snores, all night, loud. Such a thing should be punished, really. The whole night with music in the ears spent, not really restful. And no I'm not out and have kicked against his tent / peed or even torched it, such thoughts do not come to me. Never. So woke up in the morning appropriately tired and was slightly cranky. Pack, go, bakery, breakfast, my mood was not better, so I gave up for now on the Königstuhl, I was also not sure how much time I would have available tonight. So off along the Neckar, at Dilsberg I could not help but go up to the fortress, which is so great. Then down via Mückenloch and further along the Neckar, between Hirschhorn and Ebersbach is really the most beautiful part of the bike path, or the forest next to it, overgrown quarries. So beautiful. Then in Ebersbach the long and arduous way up to the highest elevation of the Odenwald the Katzenbuckel (626 above sea level). On the way up then caught up with me a group of mountain bikers, all big face much bla bla and of course all with battery on the road. Young people and they were not really much faster than me. My opinion of these "athletes" is now known, right? Is the same as to singlespeed downhiller in bike parks, all big face and big belly. Guys I don't ride a bike to be cool or to destroy nature, I ride to see something of the world and to be able to eat 6000 kcal a day and not to look as ..... as you. When I was back at the Neckar and I met hordes of different cyclists, I realized that I can not really stand most of these "groups". My there are the road cyclists, mostly older models, so bike like driver, old colorful jerseys, shoes, socks, they are mostly cool, greet, have fun and interest in driving, you can see it on them. Then there are the "young" or studied (executives) with their Carbon-rose-bikes, which drive to do cool, to tell what, mostly dark bike clothes, mostly everything expensive and on 20 km are also fast even with belly. They would also stack shit if they think to make an impression. Then the E-bikers, whom the doctor said they should move more. Mostly fat, unhealthy complexion, some current tour jersey and ride like they handled their bodies, not good. And last the pensioners on the e-bikes, mostly yellow high visibility vest and ride the way they think cyclists should behave. Yep. Oh I forgot one group, the touring cyclists... Greetings, are relaxed, laugh at the strained performance jerk of the Rose-sucker and enjoy the whole thing. Kids, do you really think, just because I'm chugging along at a leisurely 20 to 25 km/h, you could seriously hold a candle to me on any route, over any distance, up any mountain? The luggage is also training weight. If I'm up for it I drive you suckers loose flat, mostly even with luggage and the whole previous days in the legs. Just like in real life, kids, I'm never at 100%, when I do that, you no longer see my taillights. But soon a new challenge will start, I'm itching to go full throttle for the next few years. I just say Fuck Cancer, this time in a professional environment, with interdisciplinary expertise in the neighboring office. In the meantime, everything is as I would have liked it to be. Anyway where was I? Oh yes at the Neckar, when I looked at the clock it was 2 o'clock and I still had 50 km ahead of me, could have been in the morning but on the Königsstuhl, sometimes I'm too impatient and the timing, no matter, still a way back. So I took the legs up and humped even more, sat down at Neckar and chilled. At 5 o'clock I was at the campsite it dribbled even a bit, tent set up, shower, eat and down to the lake, there I sit now and wait for the sunset (or here is a beer garden in which I sit down soon). Tomorrow I will drive along the kocher, the inclined readers will know where the leads me, right, invited me to the barbecue at Daniela & Thomas tomorrow evening, in this sense.
