A nice amount of not-flat running you had there! kudos.
Yesterday was an afternoon roll on the gravel bike.
I had the camera rolling for a lot of the ride, but the video doesn’t seem that interesting, at least not to me, but then i ride these trails all the time.
Got a pic w/ a train at one of my favorite picture spots:
And these white flowers remain in bloom. The trails on this side of the of the river – in the Wildnispark – are bounded by often thick bands of these flowers.
They are called Ramsons, otherwise known as wild garlic, cow’s leek, wood garlic, and bear’s garlic (I’m not sure why it’s a leek for a cow and garlic for a cow). Often, the garlic or garlic-adjacent smell is strong through here. You can harvest these and make a stew, it’s quite safe (a forest ranger here told me that, while I’ve seen people collecting them, I haven’t tried it).
The temp was cool enough for arm warmers. I nearly regretted not wearing a gillet, but it warmed up to the upper 50sF.
Today, however, was a great day to be outside. I had originally planned on a long run, but poor and inadequate sleep, with my Garmin saying to take the day off, and a late start, kept the run to only 5 miles.
There were cows, but no cow bells. (change vid quality to 4k for the best)
There was even flat and flatish bits in today’s mostly-trail run.
In the map of the run above, you’ll see across the lake is Küsnacht, which is the home (now former) home of someone in the news the last day two (RIP). Her home is circled in this pic from our home on this side of the lake.
