A quick ride around the block. Today, as a precaution, I avoided the bike paths and stayed a bit more on the roads.

After recovering from conjunctivitis and getting enough GeloMyrtol (a different kind of cough) in my bloodstream, I set off on my first road bike ride of the year today. Just to be on the safe side, I did a long-distance ride 🥵.



During the leisurely ride, I was constantly checking my fitness 🕵️. But

Today's plan was a leisurely ride around town on my road bike. But I opted for the cross bike and a forest bath. It was the right decision. My lungs can now handle the deep breaths again, and my foot bravely resigns itself to its fate. It only has to spin in circles anyway.



Shortly after the start, I

A short Easter ride on local trails, including a stress test for 🦶 and 🫁.



We started off along the former railway line or diversion route to Zell and from there straight to "Himmelreich." On the way uphill, I briefly drifted into a ditch 😅. Was that due to the deep, fine gravel? More likely due to

Luckily, I was only on the road for a short time. Riding carefully isn't a problem, but using common sense, probably not. The happy hormones of finally being able to cycle again were getting the better of me. It was supposed to be a flat stage 🤷. We'll see what my foot says tomorrow. My little toe is

Short test ride to get my right foot/calf combination, which has been limping for two weeks, used to a smooth pedal stroke again. That's why there was only a short flat stage along the Fils, including various changes to the plan.



Unfortunately, the power transfer on the right was almost unmeasurable when

Part 2 / Return journey.



From Bad Überkingen to Reichenbach i. T. everything went according to plan. But then I lost my memory again and found myself in the middle of an allotment garden. Dead end!!! 😮‍💨.



My inner voice said to me: "Forward, you have to go back." I thought to myself: "Now what now? Forward

For a short visit to Bad Überkingen, I swapped the car for the Harley-pedal-my-son. Foot throttle and bone ignition worked quite well again.



Without planning the route, I set off on the short tour by memory. Perhaps I should mention that the protocol had been gathering dust for over a decade. That's why
