Morning Ride in the INNTAL .

Having ridden through from Kramsach to Kufstein and back to Worgl i was nearing home when i came across an austrian Dad on Paternity leave . Having ridden along with him on previous occasions i turned about and went for another jaunt up into the hills north of Worgl .

Yes he is towing a trailor with a child aboard and since he gets along quite quickly we had a pleasant trek though the countryside . During the time together we discussed the way the drivers behave as well as Austrian Tax Laws on " donations " . Not earning an income these days i allow others to make the payment on my behalf thus allowing the tax relief to benefit the registered charity in those countries that do as the UK and return " Tax Paid " to the charity .

Had i been quicker with the camera there would have been a stunning view west over the River INN and the INNTAL .

Ottawa bike guy: Urban mining on a bike

Currently in Manchester area of UK and trawling the blogs came upon this site . We all know that there are many in the third world countries who use their bike for transporting goods but this would be an unusual sight in most major or Capital cities .

Zillertal Ride

During the first days back in Austria i took a ride to loosen up after the car ride back from the Tour de France . Heading east i encountered a cyclist that seemed to be pretty quick so turned and caught up with him . He was heading into the Zillertal and then up the " Alpback pass " then back to Soll where he had started his ride .

The ride up the climb was interupted by road works which meant either a descent to the valley or a walk through the scrub for about a kilometre around the gully bridge that was being rebuilt . During this walk we descended into the stream bed shown here before climbing back to the paddock beyond and then joined the road once again .

After climbing a little further we shot this view before continuing over the saddle and stopping at the water outlet on the side of the road .

Further down we stopped so that i could take this view of the "Alpbachtal " .

Arriving back in Brixlegg we parted company after i decided it was time for lunch so as to refuel for an afternoon ride elsewhere .
