season opening

I started into my cycling season like every year in the end of march. But this time I’m much better in shape than the last years, so two of my trips made it into the top 10 of my longest trips. I want to give you the list of the longest day trips i made by bike, including the google earth files for the last two:

length (km) date start via end
205 08/06/2005 Suhl (DE) Weißenfels (DE)
174 08/16/2006 Zagreb (HR) Galambok (HU)
146 07/15/2006 Buchs SG (CH) Lake Zurich Buchs SG
142 08/05/2006 Buchs SG Imst SG
140 09/02/2006 Buchs SG Silvretta Schruns (AT)
139 09/28/2005 Augsburg (DE) Füssen (DE)
138 08/19/2006 Györ (HU) Neusiedler See (AT)
136 08/14/2006 Plitvice Lakes (HR) Zagreb
132 04/01/2007 Buchs SG Faschina Dornbirn (AT)
130 03/18/2007 Buchs SG Appenzell Buchs SG
130 08/18/2006 Siófok (HU) Györ

And I’m positive that more will follow this year. Maybe in late summer ;)




jogging in winter

Jogging in winter is great fun. Especially if the weather is perfect, like today. So I can continue the training for my first marathon. I’m not yet sure which one it will be: Zurich Marathon on April 1st or RheinEnergie Bonn Marathon on April 22nd. But I’m on the raod once a week since october, and twice a week since januar to achieve my aim: finishing a marathon.

Some website updates

As I promised last year, I have updated my website. Ok, a little late, but better now than never. The most important changes/improvements are:

  • switching from the category system to the ‘tags’, I also have a cool tag cloud
  • all the old category links and pages will be kept
  • if you use a modern browser, e.g. IE7 or Firefox, you can add my website to your browsers search box (see image)
  • i improved the CSS a little and inserted a new photo on the top
  • update to the latest version of WordPress, which is really cool
