Nice view of the Rhine.
In order to stay on the Rhine by bike, you have to ride a few narrow passages here.

I did a road bike event with a group from the company, a social ride. Every kilometer is converted into cash and donated at the end of the year.

It was a completely new experience for me to cycle in such a large group. Slipstreaming really makes a difference! But you also have to be much more careful.

Today, 50km from Bonn, up to Hardthöhe (a nasty climb), through the Kottenforst forest (with fantastic bike paths!) to the Wachtberg radar station. From there, down (a great descent!) to the Rhine near Unkelbach, along the Rhine with views of the Siebengebirge and Drachenfels mountains, back to Bonn. And this time on a road bike, yeah.
