Biking Germany

We had a planned a lads snowboarding trip over to Germany for New Year, but there was no snow, so it became a mountain biking trip....Simon, Jezza, Geoff and Me...
We hired bikes, bought a map and set off into the mountains...
The Fantastic Four disappearing into the mist...
Me, Geoff and Simon used Electric Assisted Mountain bikes.  They were brilliant!  Jez said it was cheating and used his standard bike.  Here's my trusty steed in the foothills of the Harz Mountains...
Not lost....just working it out :-)
We found some awesome cake for lunch....
The cute German town of Nordenau.  I think Jez might have spotted another cake shop...
We celebrated a great days biking with a 'beer tube' of Krombacher.  Geoff was our barman...
The next day it was a tad colder.  That is Simon under all that plastic :-)
More great trails through the mountains...
We found the one bit of snow that exists in Winterberg....'From the frige!!!!!'
 Winterberg on New Year's Eve!  Plenty of booze, lots of laughs, europop and mental fireworks...
Prost!!!
What a awesome trip.  Cheers Guys and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
