The final section of the NoFlow Trail is a convenient connecting path from the "Weisse Steige" parking lot to the Baierstein viewpoint. In addition to open curves, there is a short climb and a rolling tree trunk.

I've been on the road with the SSV for the first time in 4 weeks, the trails are all very dry and partly dusty, and record-breaking temperatures of well over 30 degrees in the evening. Spent a nice evening on the Braunenberg with a great group.

The ascent from Dreckloch to Baierstein is not recommended for imitation. Steep, heavily washed out and plowed to pieces by the harvester. Trails are top notch, not too dry, not too wet. I had to collect a soil sample at the Nikolausi 😅

First lap after the fall, runs well again, but every now and then the head says slow down. The threads will come out on Friday and then it'll slowly start again 😊

Another short outing in the great conditions. Grip is mega. Unfortunately, we took a small soil sample at the viaduct. Note: don't think about the next bend already about the one after that.
The chain broke at the end, but was easily repaired.
