Training in Eberstadt/Darmstadt?

just when I thought I was going to get through the offseason without a major overseas trip, the company up and surprises me… the month of April in Eberstadt, Germany. Whee.

Does anyone have any local info about these towns ? Good run routes, bike routes etc.

The wonderful swimmersguide.com site lists 3 pools in Darmstadt, Zentralbad, Nordbad, and Bezirksbad Bessungen (beserker’s bath ? sounds dangerous) but there isn’t much info on hours etc.

I’m not going to attempt to take a bike over, may rent one if there are any decent rides nearby.

I know Lothar Leder lives in Darmstadt, so there must be some tri-friendly running/bike clubs around, but Google has not yet found them…

Best would be to ask on www.3athlon.de if your German is up to it (you can naturally try in English). Otherwise I know a number of people in the area and can forward your request).
