March 2020 Late winter or early pre-springtime pleasures?

 

This was a really strange winter for Upper Bavaria. As you know this area lies in between 500-650m above sea level, therefore the likelihood of getting snow is very high. Neighbors and colleagues told me of excessive snow last winter, but this winter it seems more like what I was used to in the UK, mild snowfree winters with occasional nice and sunny days. Some days were really grotty, but some days this winter actually allowed for short tights as early as February so that the first tanlines had emerged by mid-march. The bike though still suffered a lot on every ride. I could not believe to make my first ride into the mountains as early as March and it was totally snow-free.


Maybe I should not use my summerbike

These muddy roads and lanes will defo damage my bike
