| We had the afternoon off, so went for a ride with JF and Sebastian. Pfäffikon-Rappi-Wald-Gibswil-Hulftegg-Wattwil-Hemberg-Salomon-Ebnat Kappel-Wattwil. Weather turned all of a sudden when we reached top of Hemberg and it started to rain cats and dogs and also got very, very cold. There was no other option than riding down. I have never frozen more on the bike than today, was really ugly. Sebi and myself took the train in Wattwil, could not ride any longer. Our bodies shivered during the whole train ride, I guess body temp was a bit below 36 C... |

| Kruth - Col de Bussang - Ballon d'Alsace - Basel. 2nd day of our Tour des Vosges. Had hammered legs on the fist ascent, Col de Bussang, and had to ride in my own pace. Butt also hurted what made pedalling quite painful. Legs got better and better, so I accelerated a bit on the way up to Ballon d'Alsace (1165m) and to my surprise, only Corsin held my wheel. Continued in steady pace till the top, waiting looooooooong time for stone ;). The remaining 80km were ridden quite fast, with the strongest tractor stone often in front. My legs were still ok after 90km, so I contributed a bit on the last hilly 10km after Corsin reopened the race... ;). Avg. speed of 27.5km/h. All in all another great cycling weekend, despite the disappointing weather. My body was doing quite ok, little diziness and no signs of fatigueness. I'm quite happy. |

| Basel - Rheinebene - Grand Ballon d'Alsace - Kruth. 1st day of "Tour des Vosges", with stone and Corsin. The first 70km were totally flat with strong tail- and headwind, not so much my thing. In the first climb towards le Grand Ballon, I did follow stone but legs were already dead. The last 400m of the climb were a real pain, legs just didn't want to pedal anymore. Stone climbed much better, Corsin suffered even more. The descent down to Kurth was really cold, hope i didn't catch a cold. |

Weather better than expected at around 17C max. With JF, Stone and Sebi. Avg speed of 26.5km/h |
