Proper Planning in Mountain Biking

Planning for the tour in advance means covering your needs the best way possible: when, where, with whom? Planning means safety and anticipation.

For many bikers, it is the duration of their season planning that counts: the grand tour is in the summer, for instance. You can highlight the most important days of the year through careful planning and preparation. Also, you have to choose whether it is better to train in a group or alone.

Are you alone in the Alps? What sounds like a delightful challenge for the majority of the bikers with cycling bikes is not a real option for others. Taking a trip in a group is more fun and less dangerous. You should establish the course of the trip and keep in mind that it is ideal to not go in very large groups. Very large groups are usually much slower than little groups. Photo stops, pee breaks and breakdowns take time. There are so many ways in which a group can be torn apart.

Who should you ride with?

 

Things get rough very quickly if the simple interaction of the tour participants is not properly folded: there are different demands, unequal physical conditions, disagreements throughout the tour and these would be the causes of discord destroying your dream tour. Therefore, not only should all the parties involved be clear where they are headed in advance, but they should also know what the conditions are. It is very important to not have any disagreements in the group in order for the tour to go all well.

Riding on your own

 

Anyone who likes taking full advantage of the challenge goes his or her own way. Plan your route on your own and you can sometimes go off the beaten track, this having its own charm. However, you are also required to do some very careful planning. It is easier to reproduce long tours already worked out. If you need detailed riding directions, check some road books or even GPS data and make sure the orientation on the road is not a problem.

Guided groups

 

Guided tours are recommended for those who have too little time to do their own planning and for individualists who usually have no alternative. Also, they are recommended for riders that need access because they cannot find a suitable tour partner in their personal environment.

Luggage

 

You should never pack more than eight kilos to carry on your back on a multi-day riding tour. Many guided tours include the transportation of luggage in their list of services. In addition to this, many tour operators also carry the baggage of individuals if needed.

Accommodation

 

Hotel or cottage? Mountain or valley? Not everyone likes stuffy tenements, snoring roommates or rustic sanitary facilities. Some prefer traditional mountain huts, magnificent views and beautiful trail runs instead of laborious climbing routes that the same in the early morning. You have a choice! However, it is very important that you make this kind of decisions on time.

Ideal time

 

Many high alpine routes can only be covered in the middle of the summer even with cheap mountain bikes. If you want to cross the Alps, you should schedule a tour, ideally between late June and late September.

Schedule buffering

 

You have just started off on a multi-day tour. You should not start planning your first day right away because there can be a lot of changes. Also, you should take into consideration the time lost in traffic jams, delayed trains or other uncertainties. You do not have to be on time for anything when it comes to the first day of a multi-day tour because there are a lot of unexpected things that can happen.

The return journey

 

Can you travel from A or B? If you did not plan the trip very well, at least you can focus on the return journey. You always need to have a consistent schedule even if shuttles are very comfortable. It is not possible to transport your bike by train on all routes, this often being something you can make an appointment for.

For the preparation of hot tea Karkadeh, the red leaves of the flowers are doused with hot water because it is too bitter. The quality criterion for Karkadeh is the color of the flower. This has to be dark red. Lighter petals have less flavor and are more acidic. Karkadeh leaves are accompanied by apple and citric acid. Karkadeh tea is sweetened with sugar after is poured in tea cups. The cold is a variant of the Karkadeh syrup diluted with water. For its production Karkadeh leaves are in equal parts with water and sugar boiled to syrup and then filled in bottles.

Growing areas are Karkadeh Egypt and Sudan. At harvest, the flowers are cut, after which, the flowers are plucked by hand, cleaned and dried. The harvesting methods, and of course the way of drying affects the quality of the drink. Originally Karkadeh must be left for 4 to 5 days in the sun to dry. This process can be shortened if the tea leaves are oven-or freeze-dried. The drying method affects the acid and pectin content, as well as to the color of the leaves.

Hibiscus is a natural remedy used worldwide and is especially common. In Egypt and Sudan, Karkadeh syrup salt and pepper and other spices are use with mentally related stomach problems.

In Europe, Lapacho tea is a remedy, but is still relatively unknown. The inner bark of the Lapacho tree contains anti-cancer drugs and some users see Lapacho tea as a miracle cure for the disease. However, science has not yet sufficiently explored to make informed statements.

The current state of research on Lapacho tea revealed some side effects due to high doses. GP Lapacho tea review, however, showed a placebo effect on the one healing process. This may be beneficial.

Lapacho tea is a medicinal tea and contains the active ingredients calcium, potassium, iron and Lapachol or lapachone. It is also an antibiotic.

Lapacho tea supports the immune system and has an antibacterial effect. Due to its ingredients, it is recommended as an inflammation inhibitor or blood pressure reducing agent.

Pregnant women should use only external Lapacho tea or drink.
Lapacho tea preparation and application

It is recommended that two teaspoons of bark must be added in a liter of water, brew it for five minutes and to let cool down for fifteen minutes. At higher concentrations, Lapacho tea can be used as a tincture.

Lapacho tea should never be taken for longer than six weeks. After a four week break, the treatment needs to continue safely. The external application has no time limit. As a consumer you should be careful not to overdose Lapacho tea.

The taste is comparable with the Lapacho tea red bush tea. Lapacho tea tastes slightly sweet and has an earthy aroma with a touch of vanilla.

DOMAIN CHECK - AND IMPORTANT TO DOMAINS

Domains


Every home page in the internet will need a domain. By that name, then your site is accessible worldwide on the internet.

It is advantageous if this domain has a reference to the content. Thus, even for internet users and search engines, it is easier to produce a reference later on the page.

You should have already thought of the domain name when you set out to find a web host. You need to check whether your preferred name or your domain is still available, you can use the domain check to find out instantly free.

The Personal Domain


With its own domain on the internet, the site can have many advantages, not only for companies but also for individuals. Therefore, a domain, for many internet user today, is almost a matter creativity. Here is a small summary of what you need to know about the domain.


Change of Ownership


Basically. The domains are transferable, that is, the domain of the domain holder can transfer to another buyer, which is then recorded as the new domain owner.

The domain owner informs his provider about the intended transfer of the domain and the desire of the future owner to change providers. At the same time, he needs an issued statement, the provider change it once it is confirmed. The new domain owner has to come in agreement with the current domain owner. After that, he will acquire the domain name. He will then ask to initiate the domain transfer of the domain.

Register a Domain


If you want to register a domain, you can usually apply directly to the provider.
It is always possible to register directly with DENIC, but the cost for a direct registry with DENIC is about 10 times higher.

image of servers
Notation and symbols


A domain name must be at least 3 up to 63 characters long. Exceptions to this are currently in litigation, such as VW. But this does not affect the normal mortal website operators. Special characters are not possible. Since 2006, in Germany, umlaut domains are used. Minus sign or hyphen in the first or last place are also NOT allowed.

Domain names and legal


In the meantime, the domains trademark law must be observed. Therefore, caution must be observed with the name brands.

In terms of full names and brand names, these are still considered identical when separated by spaces or hyphens. Similarly, caution is advised in texts and contents. This may not be easily copied, as they are also subject to copyright. Ignorance is no excuse before you publish your texts and domains.

Deletion


To delete an existing domain, please contact your provider. Be specific as possible so that the provider can see clearly what is your intention. Formulations such as "I don’t want my domain any more" or "please switch off my domain" will be very vague for sure. Make sure that you will always state your reason for such. Such a step does not lead to deletion, since the existence of the domain itself is a contract between DENIC and the domain holder.

DENIC


DENIC is the central registry for all the German Top Level Domains. That is, virtually all domains ending with De.
It manages a resource. The administration is in sophisticated technology and consists of:

- The provision of an automatic registration system

- The operation of the database and

- The name server service for the de-zone.
