Graf Ride Guide

With the arrival of the rare and elusive Bavarian spring, we were able to ride this weekend. I decided it was time to use mapmyride to, well, may my ride. On Saturday we did this beautiful ride out from post:




According to the program it was 27 miles with two category 5 climbs. I agree with the length, though it does not bring into accont the subjectivity that is really part of any decision on how hard a climb is. The first climb, up Netzaberg is probably a 5 and does in fact have some good rythm. The second climb is really not anything more than a prolonged false flat that really doesnt require the small ring. This is still a fun tool!
