🗺️ The Route & Stats:
We are tackling an intermediate mountain bike route. It requires some good fitness, so bring your A-game (and your Axess MEEA 29 or a similarly capable bike)!
*Distance: 69.6 km
- Elevation Gain: 430 m (mostly hitting us in the last stretch!)
*Active Saddle Time: ~4.5 hours
📍 The Plan:
*🚆 Train: Munich Hbf ➔ Bad Endorf (~1 hour for mental prep).
*🚴♂️ Bike: Bad Endorf ➔ Chiemsee Loop ➔ Prien. We will ride out to the water, push through the scenic forest trails around Gollenshausen, and wrap up our ride right in Prien am Chiemsee.
- 📸 Rest Stops: We’ll pause along the shore to relax, recharge, and snap some high-contrast, human-free nature shots of the lake.
*🚆 Train: Prien am Chiemsee ➔ Munich Hbf (~1 hour direct train to collapse).
*🌯 Post-Ride: Straight to grabbing a massive shawarma sandwich once we are back in Munich. We will have earned it!
🌤️ Weather Outlook:
Expect sunny daytime conditions and clear skies, with a high of 28°C, a low of 16°C, a 15% chance of daytime rain, and a gentle 6 mph breeze. Perfect lake weather!
🎒 Prep & What to Bring:
- Pre-Ride Homework: Do some stretching the day before and make sure to hydrate!
*Gear: Your mountain bike (check those brake pads before we go!), fresh legs, and your camera. - Fuel: Plenty of water and power snacks to maintain your energy on the trails!
⚠️ Important:
*Please make sure your bike is in good working condition before joining.
- Everyone participates at their own responsibility.
*We ride together and wait for the group whenever needed.
