Cleaning up the Isar

Last Saturday, a group of mountainbikeriders from the Alpine club
helped to clean up a part of the riverside walking and riding tracks.
It felt really good to do something for the common good. But man, I will never understand why people leave their rubbish behind or pee in the bush and most of the times, leave a tissue to mark the spot... Either bury it deep enough, burn it or take it with you. Forrest ethics is something, most people don't have.

Just googled my name... and found this one, puplished on the web in 'Australian Cyclist', 2009:

Want to know a secret? - Australian Cyclist

"All my experience is based on learning by doing, watching other riders doing and of course talking to riders. It all comes down to ‘work in progress', I am still learning a lot." Alex KiendlAlex has made a name for herself in solo enduro racing. Last year she capped a very successful season with an outstanding win at the Scott 24-Hour Australian Championships. She states openly that she has been fortunate to receive advice from some of the best riders and coaches, but considers herself something of an autodidact. 
By taking instruction from other riders she has been able to improve not only the demanding aspect of technical riding, but also the unseen but no less important aspects of food preparation and general set-up at transition. So, Alex's advice to any aspiring enduro rider is to watch and listen to others, but learn by doing.


sigh.....good old days....
