Walsdorfer Berg

Highlight • Summit

The climb looks inconspicuous, but for most cyclists from Idstein it is at the end of the tour. If you then have a headwind or sweltering heat, then you are happy when you are up on the Hohe Straße.

June 28, 2026,Ich wurde gedroppt - fast 😬😮‍💨

Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day.
Well... almost a rest day. Because the request was made to me to get So_Nia's new racer ready to ride.

So I spent some time in my home bike workshop.

You know the drill by now:
- Chain off
- Degrease in the ultrasonic bath
- Into the hot wax bath
- …

July 31, 2024,Beine lockern — noch vor der großen Hitze

Today the weather forecast predicted over 30°.
So we left a little earlier and came back a little earlier.
Relaxed trip over Idstein.

July 12, 2026,Mission Coffee-Stop. Der Sportteil fiel überraschend kurz aus.

Coffee-Stop 2.0, where the sports part today would rather just be a supporting program.

"Where to, where to?"
"Let's do a lap around Idstein. On the way back, at least there'll be some forest and shade."

Sounded like a plan.

July 16, 2026,Vertrauen ist gut. Drehmoment ist besser.

Nothing world-shattering happened again, actually just a small test ride.

Why, you ask?

I had previously had a hydraulic line corrected because after a service it was not routed as it should have been.

Shortly thereafter, I discovered an oil-smeared brake caliper. Since the oil was exclusively on one inner side, my first thought was: "Great, the brake piston is …

March 8, 2026,Recovery-Ride

Today I used the beautiful weather as a small taste of summer for a relaxed recovery ride.

Cranked quite relaxed to the north to Idstein and then rolled back leisurely via Esch, Heftrich, Ehlhalten and Eppstein.

When there are no training guidelines grumbling in the background, no Garmin beeping, and no wattage blinking offensively on the display, you can actually …

August 12, 2024,Mal wieder mächtig warm 🌞🥵🌞

It's best to leave early. If you leave too late, like I did today, the first number on the thermometer will quickly be 3.

September 19, 2023,🌬️🌬️🚴🏼‍♂️, heute mal mit etwas mehr Wind

Although I would prefer sea wind. Of course I associate it with the Mediterranean, gentle breezes, pleasant temperatures and a beautiful area.
You just have to imagine it intensely enough in the headwind, then it will be really nice in Wörsdorf in the strong headwind 🌬️🌬️🚴🏼‍♂️ 😝😜
