Lunchtime Ride Today, I set the timer on my iPhone to 35 minutes and took off from the office riding a trail from Pieterlen up to the Bözingenberg. I had no idea how far I’d make it in the snow, gave myself 35 minutes to climb, which would give me enough time to return to the office, get out of my gazillion layers of bike clothes and change back into office attire (jeans and sweater). When the alarm of my iPhone beeped through the back pocket of my Specialized winter jacket, I stopped, took this photo and went back down the way I came from. An hour lunchbreak isn’t quite enough to reach the top of the hill - at least not on a snowy fire road. Zoom
