When living in north of Germany, road biking was sufficient: Summer and winter are nearly equally cold/warm, terrain nearly flat. But when moving to the Black Forrest, a hill region in south of Germany, more opportunities came along and the winters are not so nice for biking. So today it splits as follows.</p> <h2 id="summer">Summer</h2> <ul> <li> <p>Mountain Biking in the Black Forrest and sometimes in the Alps is very much fun. Long up-hills, fast or technical down-hills, not using shaped trails, the terrain is always challenging enough for me.</p> </li> <li> <p>Road biking is like flying, at least in comparison to mountain biking. But the climbs can also be long and exausting.</p> </li> <li> <p>Hiking, if all else fails, in the Black Forrest or in the real mountains. This is the activity which is most compatible with other people.</p> </li> <li> <p>Sometimes: Climbing, Via Ferrata. Doing this to infrequently, the power and technique always fades away over the weeks and month of other sports.</p> </li> <li> <p>Every now and then: Running, Trail Running. In summer this only fills the last gaps in my calendar.</p> </li> </ul> <h2 id="winter">Winter</h2> <ul> <li>Ski Mountaineering, as a tour guide and trainer in DAV, I organize multiple events and trainings per year.</li> <li>Running is my replacement for cycling, when it is too cold out side. As long as there is no snow in the trails, I prefer trail running. But more or less flat around the lake is at least acceptable.</li> <li>Some times: Downhill skiiing. Riding down pistes only happens once or twice a year. Going off-piste is preferred.</li> </ul> <h2 id="tracking-not-trecking">Tracking, not trecking</h2> <p>Since 2008 I use Garmin devices to record nearly all sportive movements. This gives a nice history of tracks and statistics, from home region and all trips.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://connect.garmin.com/">Garmin:</a> <em>jfevers</em></li> <li><a href="https://www.strava.com/athletes/37666215">Strava:</a> <em>Jan-Friso Evers-Senne</em></li> </ul> <p>Visualizing tracks my self is a different story, will published later.</p>
