Fifth: on the average biking day we were fin- ished by 1500hrs, which gave plenty of scope to enjoy the Austrian culture, which took the form of an outdoor thermal spa on one of the more eventful days.
Sixth: Austrian food was excellent and a well- managed CILOR budget meant that we ate out most lunchtimes – please note that strudel can be bought on CILOR!
Seventh: we succeeded in getting a free pair of socks, having filled our stamp book with the trail stamps at the beginning of each trail.
Eight: the majority of people got some big air having ‘sent it’ on jumps at the bottom of the mountain.
Nine: when we weren’t biking, we fully embraced café lifestyle, which was as entertaining as Après bars in the winter season.
Finally, ten: the weakest member of the group, who had on the second day thrown down his bike and refused to soldier, by the end was caught off-guard saying, god forbid, he had really enjoyed the biking. The proof, therefore, is in the pudding! You must be sold now on a mountain biking AT trip! Auf Wiedersehen!
