Weekend training round-up

Elin, Lorenzo and Kris took out the road bike on Saturday for a moderately-paced ride towards the Taunus via Höchst. A key objective was to find a nice 8-10km circuit somewhere for training purposes. And yes we did find something! A 9km tour around the Farbwerke with little to no traffic (1.6km is even forbidden for cars), good roads and/or wide cycling lanes and only 1 traffic light. It was Lorenzo's proposal and we happily accept. More details on the Höchst Loop, which can easily be reached via the Mainzer Landstrasse onto Farbwerke S-bahn station, or simply via the Main river, will be released here soon. Objective is to train in group there on weekday nights (e.g. Tuesday & Thursday) and Saturday mornings.

The trio went on to the Kaiserstempel in Eppstein before heading back to Frankfurt with some 100km in the legs. That wasn't even enough for Elin, as she did another four hours with Morten on Sunday!
