Cycling condition training with friends and colleagues of Lenze. Lenze is a company, that developes and produces automation systems and industrial drives. Look here: http://www.lenze.com/en/home/ Weserbergland is a hilly region (thus the name, Bergland = hilly region) in Germany (parts of Lower Saxony, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia) near the river Weser. Cities of this region are Holzminden, Höxter, Bodenwerder, Hameln, Rinteln, Vlotho, Lemgo and Detmold.
Oh no, dear Elena, the height of the hill is 340 m! :-)) The windmills are an older typ. The mills have only a total height of about 100m! This typ of windmill was produced between 1995 and 2005. Producer: Enercon GmbH, Aurich, Germany Typ: E-66 Diameter of the rotor: 66m Nominal power: 1.5 MW
100 meters - too a high windmill! Wingspan of 66 meters - simply huge (20 floor house)!
Hill = 340 meters... Perfectly, to drive downwards from it :)... but upward - it is necessary to work (very strongly) :) The big difference of height ... I at us didn't measure of difference of height still...
I live in a hilly region. If I ride bike with my friends, we climb on every hill along our tour. We like the hard work of climbing and of course we like the fun of rushing downwards with heady speed :-))
Dear Elena, I have 5 bicycles, but until now I have no MTB. So I can't tell you a maximum speed with a MTB. You can’t compare the speed of a road bike with an offroad-bike! The highest speed with a road bike I reached on the descent of the North-German mountain range Harz: 106 km/h. With the couch I was already several times faster than 120 km/h. Because of the bad country roads in Russia most times my speed was low. My fastest speed in Russia I rode on the road M8 near Danilov. My GPS displayed a height-difference from 260 m downward to 130 m. I remember, that it was only a small down-grade on a new straight road part. The downgrade was constant along a long distance. In addition the cars pulled me. Behind a car my speed rose up to 113 km/h. After finishing the ride in Vologda I shot a photo of the GPS-display with the stored datas of the ride. Just I have uploaded the photo :-) Look here:
To get a little feeling of the difference between a MTB off road and the couch on road, I made a small video clip. I took the clip on a country road in Lower Saxony between Polle and Bad Pyrmont. Please watch: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xepusr
Music is in harmony with the movement and speed. I realized what is missing in the video clip. Introductory and final titres need to be accompanied by voice. It somehow will connect together flashing footwear and the invisible lying person, will increase completeness of perception. I think, in a following clip there will be a snow road. :-))
I wanted to tinker a camera fixture for the bicycle. Before that, I tested, how such a cycling video would look. I fixed the camera first temporarily with hook-and-loop tape. During the ride I had to straighten the camera several times anew. Then, however, the test video was better than I had expected. I added the music, which I heard during the ride and loaded the video up. This it was. Dear Olga, your idea with additional voice is great! You should demonstrate by your bicycle and your camera :-D
On the empty road you can good pedalling, because it is not blocked by slow cars :o) The music is a small dose of my acoustic doping, that I always carry by MP3-player with me ;-)
The flat tires caused by pot holes and stones are a problem of the couch :-( You are right, dear Elena. By a normal bike you can better go round obstacles :-))
Please wait...
