Highspeed Trail Bern

The trail lives up to its name. However, beginners should take it slow because some crossbars are installed to drain the water.

As everywhere in the vicinity of communities, pedestrians must be expected here, especially on the WE. An MTB Lüti helps to relax the situation.

January 10, 2023,TPE Zyschtigsnightride #2 10.1.2023
Cool round for two on the trails Hüntu, Färnstu, Flüe, Straussack and Powerman. Despite the heavy rain in the last few days, the trails were relatively 'dry' and passable.

Cool snow ride round as part of our TPE Zyschtigsnightride. Because of the snow, we chose moderate climbs and mainly asphalt. On the other hand, the descents on the Färnstu, Strausack, and Ziegelhütte Trails as well as the final Powerman Hol with the unfamiliar surface were quite demanding. Nevertheless, we finally agreed that it was a lot of fun again.

TPE Zyschtigsnightride around Burgdorf, as the weather forecast was a bit modest. Starting at Färnstu, we went from the meeting point at the Schützenmatte to the planet trail. So today the first part was the second part of the tour, similar to last week.
From there, a short detour to the Rothöhe was announced today.

Unfortunately, all we have left of the white splendor from the weekend is Pflotsch. However, this can lead to surprising challenges, especially in shady locations. That's why my winter bike with the studded tires was used again today. This gave a great advantage and increased safety in the icy areas. However, the spikes didn't help in the areas with mud, …

Because of the poor weather conditions, only a short ride on the Flüetrails.

During my last ride on the Santa HT, I noticed that the seatpost was only extending and retracting slowly. When I reached the end of the Färnstu today, it wouldn't budge. Neither in nor out, so I decided to head home.

The weather forecast for tonight was not very good and so we met in manageable numbers. To anticipate it, not a single drop fell 💧. If there are wet shirts in the group photo, this is actually sweat from exertion.
