Been doing quite a bit of outdoor stuff/trips in recent months, but ironically came back to the area and had perhaps my perfect bike ride, nothing new, long or difficult, but all the elements came together nicely.

So I may give up bike riding after that  :P

Hey glad to see you're alive...I, for one, was thinking about you the other day!

Booked a trip to cross the Tatra mountains between Slovakia and Poland in September.

One of the people in my group is named Adolf :hmm:

Valmy

A fine name. Clearly after one of Austria's most famous artists.

Adolf Loos. What a great architect. His little cement boxes will be treasured for centuries.

Going to climb to the top of a 12,000 foot mountain today.

...nor really as impressive as it sounds, I live at 7200 feet, the drive up the Snowy Range takes us to 10,000 feet and there is a nice trail the rest of the way.

Still, it makes me a mountain man.

Good luck.

And it sound bloody impressive to someone who's is typing this at  just 28 ft above sea level.

I survived.  The climb was tougher than I remembered, but doable.  Coming down I whacked my big toe on a rock, now half the nail is blue underneath, though not a lot of pain.  Hoping I don't loose it, those take a long time to regrow.  All in all about 12 miles round trip.

Adolf was a pretty cool Swiss guy in his 50s. Not sure how he got the name, but he went by a nickname the whole time.

Here are some pics I took:
