Moutain bike training in the Olympia Park

I forget who emailed me, but today I was in Olympia Park for a nice training.
I will be there tomorrow as well betwwen 12 and 4 pm.
Orange Hardtail, Ski Goggles, If you wait at the very top where the telescope is, the observation deck, you will see me every 15 minutes or so.
Just yell out Pierre.

Ciao

I will be in OlypPArk in about an hour. If anyone is there, give me a shout out at the top.
same as b4 Orange hadtail, Ski goggles.

Pierre

sekt,

what is olympia park like for mountain biking, are there many nice trails, does it compare well to Tegernsee, Garmisch or Kampenwand areas? Are the huts still open at this time of year?

I do a 5.5Km route which when repeated gets you a nice cardiovascular workout. It is great for those who want to condition themselves before hitting the big hills down south. It is basically the same run as the 24 hour marathon but with some additions of more uphill. You get some nice, short downhills which allow one to practice small technicall things like steering with your legs, bunny hops, weight shifting, etc... without the pain of doing 75 km/h down a rocky trail in the alps.

I am there a lot and you will see me on an orange hardtail.

Bannockburn,

Halfway up the hill there is a nice little bier hut with big umbrellas. Perfect place to stop b/f you get to the top...

I´ll be in OlympPark again today. I should be there by 1:30.

Please no dog jokes.

Do you cycle up/down the Olympiaberg? I couldn't believe it when I saw someone biking up there. I even take the easy route when walking!

I thought the beergarden is already shut...too much snow.

too much snow, hence the ski goggles...?

The biergarten is in a rain shadow so it gets little snow. I heard 5 sherpas died last year trying to ride their bikes up the Olympiaberg...such a waste of young life...

Wow, Kit, you have finally found your sense of humour!

The idea of a ride here is getting more challenging by the minute Is Lurch up for it or is it too much excitement for him?

yes I ride up and down, repeatedly. If you think it is hard, I would try and master it before you hit the real hills of garmisch. if you are out of shape you risk massive pain in your chest in garmisch. no joke. as I have said, I am in ollympia park alot. I will always post here when I hit it so don´t be shy. after three or fours weeks of riding with me, you will be in much better shape. I promise you.

Lurch aint around right now, but as his latest victim, I have considered openeing a thread for those injured during his 'escapades'.

As for the Olympia berg... do that climb enough in a day and you'll build a decent amount of fitness.

Hey Crot,

At least you had something to rub into your wounds!

More importantly was the bike okay, or did this unfortunate incident ocurr whilst spectating?

... and spare us the tatoos!

Later,
Bannockburn

His knee and leg is a lovely shade of blue/green/red and don't forget the sexy mesh stocking that the ol' er, boy is sportin'. A little camisole and he'd be nearly irresistible.

Might have to cruise out to the Olympia Park and find this route. Seems as though it's probably pretty close to our apt. in Schwabing. Any maps around the web I can find with the route or is it relatively easy to find?

Danke.

there are manyroutes. it is not so big. explore and make your own.
I will post the next time it hit it.,

Hooray for Lurch He's well and truly mad!

Hey Urbanangel,

Yes, I totally agree with the second part of your statement

Poor man, he's not even here to defend himself

How'd he do in the race?

Also, is anyone going for a ride tomorrow?

Did a couple of laps round Olympiapark this morning, going up the Oly-Berg for 7am to catch the sunrise. Was a nice cycle. I still want to find this route that pierre does though.

If my mother inlaw get here in time, I´ll make it to OlympPark for at least 6 rounds.
I´ll post in a little if I go, otherwise I will be there on Monday as the weather should still be nice.

Pierre

I am opne my way to Olympia. I´ll be at the top about 1:15
Orange Hardtail. Orange Ski Goggles

It was a nice day. I got 7 (38.5 km plus another 30 km to and from home, not a bad day km wise)rounds in. Lots of people so no real speed on the downhills possible.

WAY TOO MANY 4 legged animals, everywhere! I hit two piles of shit! 90% of the dogs off the leash

The same dog owners with the unleashed dogs shaking their heads at me for riding down the cobblestones whilst their poor little hairy rat poodle jumps in my way an almost gets decapped. They yell at me, then I tell them they need to have the dogged leashed, it´s the law. they blabber some more, I ride off.

anyway, monday looks to be nice. I´ll iinform if I hit it.

Pierre

You always seem to be cycling in the week.. I guess you have some cushy number at work.. oder?

Can you describe the route you take? Say starting from the hill. Or starting from down by the stadium if you go through the central bit.

When I was going up the steepest-cobbles up near the top this morning, I had to stop cycling as I was just spinning the back wheel - too steep for wet high pressure tyres :-(

tell me some times you know you will be there and I will show you.
