Basel Evening Cycle 20th August

So far, things are looking good weatherwise!

I am noticing it getting dark sooner. May have to play that
quick tour of the reserve by ear when we get there.

Don't forget your passports, everyone!

Gulp

If anyone does I can pretty much guarantee it will be me

Must remember to tie a knot in my hankie and then remember what it is I am supposed to remember.........

Or a better solution may be to set a reminder in my handy

OH! And will someone bring a puncture kit? Just in case?

Jenny F · #5 19.08.2008, 11:04

I'll make sure to bring my puncture repair kit. I've also got a spare inner tube just to be safe. Although I really hope this time we won't need it.

Also remember to bring your front and back lights!! I forgot last time!! not good!!

Although more and more I do see people riding bikes without any lights on around in the dark... perhaps that is just me

Was looking forward to tonight for the last fortnight, and now I'm struck down with a stomach bug. Not going to make it, unfortunately. Weak as kitten..
Have a great cycle nonetheless!

Get well soon/Gute Besserung Weiler

See you at the next one hopefully!

Weiler · #9 20.08.2008, 12:07

Thanks Mimi.
Yes, hopefully the next one.

Ah! Definitely need a strong stomach for the cycling tour.
Not for the cycling itself, but the food & beer afterwards!

"Gute Besserung" - !

So far so good. Just hope the weather holds out for a few more hours. Fingers crossed everyone.

I'll be going whatever the weather (unless it's a crazy thunderstorm) so I'll see you all outside the station at 18:45.

I'm not quite so die hard so if it is raining then I'll stay home. I know I'm not made of sugar so won't melt, as a certain person would tell me

, but I don't like getting wet

Photos are screwed up because I accidentally pushed the setup button with my bike gloves on and somehow everything was taken at ISO 1600. But the memories are captured.

01 We start out at the usual meeting place - SBB by the info signs
02 Big construction obstruction at Voltaplatz - Jenny knows a way around
03 Detour to new bridge
04 We cycle up it

#16 21.08.2008, 13:24

05, 06 We find ourselves in three countries at once
07, 08 Detour to the Huningue canoeing and kayak water sports course
09 We cycle past the sun

#17 21.08.2008, 13:26

10 We got lucky with the rain
11 We arrive in petit camargue
12 We orientate ourselves
13 Going into the nature reserve
14 We prepare to return to Basel

#18 21.08.2008, 13:31

15 All downhill from here on!
16 Dusk
17 Tunnel with lights to confuse the druggies - but we made it OK
18 We thought of ending the evening at the Volkshaus...
