Thanks to some top notch mates who organised the start and the manned control, I managed to sneak into the ride and rode the route for the 2nd time in a week. It was a blast and I was 2 hours faster than on the route check.

Happy Easter everyone! I am still glowing from our 300km Audax on Saturday which has raised some €17,500 for the purchase of a used ambulance that will be donated to Ukraine as part of Chainreaction Bike Convoy for Ukraine.

It's such a shame for the profession that economists who already failed to see the Great Financial Crisis coming also did not see that Maganomics might not be good for the US. How could they miss that? www.ft.com/content/d6f5...

Und nur, dass ich das mit der Rente richtig verstehe. Abschlagsfreie Rente mit 63 bleibt, dafür schenken wir den Rentnern aber künftig viel Steuern, wenn sie danach dann trotzdem weiterarbeiten???

Mehr Mütterrente und “Familienbudget” - hoch die Tassen! Gut, wir müssen zwar massiv schuldenfinanziert investieren, aber warum sollen wir nicht auch gleichzeitig ein paar Kamelle ins Volks werden…. 🙈🙈🙈

And then to Wasserkuppe, the highest mountain in Hesse with 950 meters and the second of our two peaks (Hoherodskopf being the other one). It was windy up there!

On the 3rd anniversary of Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine, I rode to 2 highlights of "Two Peaks Frankfurt 300", our fundraiser Audax to raise money for the purchase of used ambulances for Ukraine on April 19. 2/3rd of our places are gone, and more than €10.000 in donations have been promised

Ich habe darauf gewartet, wer als erstes die Integrität der Bundestagswahlergebnisse in Frage stellt: Trump, Vance oder Musk? Dass es ausgerechnet Fabio de Masi ist, den ich für seine Arbeit bei Wirecard und Cum Ex sehr schätze, ist wirklich enttäuschend.

And asking ChatGPT to take the momentum since January 2024 into account, this are 10 randomised results. In that scenario, all mainstream parties can brace for a night of long faces.

Realising that the average numbers probably make little sense, I asked Chat GPT based on poll data of 4 pollsters Allensbach, Insa, FG Wahlen and Emnid , and taking the error maring into account, 10 randomised estimates of the outcome. Based on the most current poll results, this is the outcome.
