Stoneman Miriqidi

2 Countries, 9 Peaks, 4.400 meters of height: the Stoneman Miriquidi was the my 4th Stoneman. 

"Erlebe pure Mountainbike-Emotion im Erzgebirge. Von Deutschlands höchst gelegener Stadt Kurort Oberwiesenthal erklimmst Du entlang der idyllischen Talsperre Cranzahl den Bärenstein. Anschließend erreichst Du die charakteristischen Basaltsäulen am Pöhlberg und Scheibenberg. Und in den urwüchsigen Fichten- und Buchenwäldern im TrailCenter Rabenberg fährst Du auf den Pfaden von Deutschlands erstem Single Trail Park."

We did the tour on Friday & Saturday, with a warm-up on Thursday afternoon and fun time  in the trail park on Sunday morning:

Over 16 hours in the saddle, 223km & 5320HM.

Day 1: Ride to Start

This was just to get us to the start of the tour: from Rabenberg to Fichtelberg, our first checkpointi.

Day 1

Our Day 1 tour started at the top of Fichtelberg, heading North via Bärenstein to Pöhlberg, where we had lunch, then on to Scheibenberg, Oberbecken Markersbach (the lake was hidden behind an embankment!), and on to Rabenberg.

Pictures - Day 1

A tough day, windy and cool, but fortunately dry.

Day 2

Day 2 started in Rabenberg, with checkpoints in

  • Auersberg
  • Blatensky Vrch
  • Plesivec
  • Klinovec

Finishing with a ride back to Rabensberg.

Highlight was defintely the trails in Plesivec bike park:it would be a great place to practice technique... and have a lot of fun!

In our panic to get back before the thunderstorm started (unsuccessful - we got soaked!), we left Terrry's mobile on the checkpoint stamping machine: so after changing into dry clothes, we headed back to Klinovec in the Womo to look for it. Fortunately, it had been picked up by a Stoneman-perticipant, who, with the kind help of the lady at the Watchtower tickt office, we arranged to meet in Bozi Dar: the handy was recovered, and we got back to Rabenberg 5 minutes before the restaurant closed, and just in time to see the extra-time of the England-Switzerland EM quarterfinal: what a day!

Pictures - Day 2

Not quite as long as day 1, but with more trails. A lot of sun: the more tired we got, the warmer it became... until the clouds swelled &  burst!

Day 3 - Rabenberg Bike Park

Border Trail, Pump Track, Drops & Burgers at the Bike Park Cafe.

Rabenberg Trails

I must have been tired from the previous day(s)... we got to the end of the first trail, before realising I'd forgotten my helmut, so had to ride back the the womo to fetch it!
