****Funsport, Bike & Ski Hotel Tauernhof - A travel report

At 8:00 a.m. the Reiteralm Bergbahnen trails in Schladming were calling for a ride! The bikes were shuttled, the lift ticket was booked and let’s go! My first time in a lift! Also, a first, shit, my heart is already pounding! Dori shits herself too, only Basti and our second guide Max were calm in the gondola.

The tour was booked directly by the hotel and is part of Friday and the big sporting weekly plan! “Once at the top, relief, survived, system weight of the gondola seems to be enough! Get on the bike! Chris Decher from Magic-Bike-Germany explained to us about possible dangers and about the distance to be maintained... and then we were in the middle of the blueline, which is extremely smooth to ride, no major dangers and it was the only one that was very flowy The danger is your own speed (you can see it in the video on Instagram...) which you automatically generate through the enormous grin and the punch that the route gives you... "Patrick, want to ride a little roots" Head says no, stomach says hunger, brain says " Just do it” - into the root part with Chris and Max, I didn’t see Chris anymore after 2 seconds and I immediately broke out in a sweat… but I noticed that I had to do quite a lot of work with my Orbea Wild FS M team and shouted “I’m just rolling everything is flat HAHAHA” and bang, brake, root impact, arm open, the rest is intact, haha ​​hehe, tapped off and on… “When we get to the bottom, Basti asks “and?” I show him my man’s tear and the 1 mm cut in the middle Tattoo... but it was possible without a band-aid, so we continued on.

We got to the bottom and went straight back up, fast, hooked the bike up to the gondola, hooked it up and went up, it was now possible without any fear, Dori was now stable on the gondola!

From the top we went down twice more... ever safer and faster and bang, the flight of my life, right in the face... I'll just tell you how it was... full impact, the tubeless milk squirts out of the tire everywhere again and I lying in the dirt, good, the other arm, bad: rear derailleur... but everything still worked, just went down, put air in and went.�� But that took away my power and safety, so I stayed down after the 3rd descent and waited for Basti with Dori… “Together we drove back to the hotel around 1 p.m., lunch was on the agenda!

Buffett, take it and eat it wherever you want, nice! Zack plate full of cheese spaetzle, tomato mozzarella and off we go. We sat outside nicely and came down. We wanted to go into the pool before eating, then we decided to sleep for 2 hours YES! We are never the youngest!!

In the evening the Schusterhäusl called us for dinner together... Katharina from the Tauernhof welcomed us warmly in front of the steakhouse and led us to the table... She was our contact person for the evening and told us a lot about the region and also the steakhouse. Guys...go there when you're here! Chris von Holtz also came and a meeting finally took place!

No matter whether it's a starter, main course or dessert, everything is incredibly tasty, medium is medium and M rare is rare... Insane, really cool, but not cheap, that has to be said clearly, but really something very special, including the restaurant "Schusterhäusl" himself. It is a 400-year-old wooden building that actually belonged to a cobbler, a lot was retained from the original, so tall people should take care of their heads! There are cobbler's utensils hanging everywhere and you can really feel the original, what it was like here back then, where we eat now, boots were beaten back then, nice... I'm really into that kind of thing! ��

Clocky and delicious, a great evening that was also made into an unforgettable evening by everyone involved! Chris, Jonas, Katharina, the great Schusterhäusl team, Chris, Basti, Dori, and Chris his buddy! Thanks! ��Before eating we had the pool open until 10 p.m. (Thanks Katharina ) After dinner everyone was too full for the pool (Sry Katharina…! ) ��So let's check off the second day with unforgettable moments on the Reiteralm, injuries that remind me of my time here, good food, great people and another day without swimming! ��

Oh wait, the bikes in the ebike garage still had to be connected to electricity! So get in there and take care of our babies for a moment Tomorrow at 10 we continue, 1000hm 40km... it will be fun! Will it be enough to go to the pool at the TAUERNHOF fun sports, bike & ski hotel complex tomorrow? Read it tomorrow!

Sleep well! Check pictures now!
