*** Hügeltraining Wetterau (RB 059-0550)

<p><strong>A nice hilly training route that mostly runs on paved bike and service roads. It is not a loop in the strict sense, as some sections are ridden multiple times. The climbs are neither particularly long (maximum 85 meters of elevation at once) nor particularly steep (rarely over 5% gradient). An average hobby road cyclist needs about 2 hours for the route.</strong></p> <p></p> <p>The route starts in the Frankfurt district of Bergen-Enkheim at the 'Leuchte' bus stop on the street of the same name, near the Hessen-Center. Follow the road in a long left curve until it turns into Fritz-Schubert-Ring at the Riedbad. From now on it goes uphill with about a 5% gradient. Immediately after the church, turn right onto the lane at Königshof (Note: narrow one-way street that only cyclists may ride in this direction, so watch out for oncoming cars and it is best to turn right immediately and ride a few meters over cobblestones). Then turn right and continue on Marktstraße. Shortly before the village entrance, turn left and ride up Gräsigten Weg. Continue right onto Hohe Straße. Keep left and cross the main road. Hohe Straße is now a paved service road...</p> <p></p> <p><em>I designed this training route to be able to do interval-like 'hill training' on a relatively small area. Due to the many loops, it can be extended or shortened as needed.</em></p>
