In Samoens on Christmas eve, walking around and enjoying the lights and ice sculptures. Bar Aspen in the back ground which does some great beer these days and has a decent selection of malts to choose from ;-)

My bike blogging photo activities are going to be in action over here for this season. It's a joint project with Felix in Innsbruck and myself in Munich. The site is going to evolve over the coming weeks and further development hinges on how bad the weather gets;-) Needless to say, if the weather is great we're gonna be out riding and shooting. Head over there, bookmark it, and follow us throughout the season.

View north from the top of Risserkogel today. Surprisingly little snow left now and more of the fine MTB trails are now becoming free:)

Nose wheelie start

Pic shows Fabi starting a trail way above Garmisch this morning. A lot of rain over night and wet, wet trails but it was a lot of fun anyway. Snow is disappearing fast! Broke my 66's on the descent (again!) so I hope they get repaired or replaced very soon...

Bike magazine, Alpen guide 2009

Got a pic on pages 22 and 23. It shows Harald Philipp riding off a great summit in the Chiemgau region of Bavaria. Wonderful light and inversion. Awesome.

Bigger pic over here.

Exposure

Fabi showing us how it's done on an airy trail above Garmisch. This aint the place to practice your nose wheelies, and it emphasizes the trust put in modern brake technology.

Took a ride up here tonight after work. Just made it to the hut in time to order a beer before they closed for the evening. It's amazing how fast I can cycle up hill at times;-) Trails back down were dry and deserted. Lovely!

From clockwise, top left: Max, Johannes, Fabi, Christoph. All on the same bend and pretty much all with the same degree of lean. Sometimes portraits can be a little bit different, eh?

Pic shows Falk demonstrating exactly how not to ride the trail. Luckily this was about the flattest section on the whole ride so falling off had no consequences. Glad I was lined up at the time and caught the amusement;-)

Pic shows Falk riding his shiny new Rock Mountain on the Isar Trails. Lighting provide by one Nikon SB24 hand held by Sebastian behind the tree on the left. As usual, a walker walks past at exactly the wrong moment.

Nothing like a couple of big Lago trails to start the season off. Kind of kicks your ass back on the bike again. And off. We were particularly stressed with the weather: it was too hot for this time of year;-) In the pic: Max Schumann flying off onto that start of the trail.

A very wet afternoon in Munich. So time to head down to the cellar and clean/service the bikes and get them ready for the coming season. Niall came down for a visit too, and helped me service a wheel...
