Sehr Hoher Kasten

This afternoon I cycled up Hoher Kasten in Appenzellerland. It's been a while since I last went mountain biking and I'm surprised that I waited this long. It was great!

I found the track on gps-tracks.com and was able to program my GPS to lead me. This is very convenient as it allows me to ride without having to stop and look at a map. The trail started in Appenzell and I almost fainted when I saw the huge mountain in the distance.

The bike is a lot lighter when you're not pulling a 20kg trailer behind it. I ascended at a fast tempo and had a fine lunch at the summit restaurant. The route down was slightly different and included some great single-track dirt trails. It was a lot of fun and I will definitely do this again!

There are additional photos in my album.
