11. Community Ride. This time we went to Selketal. Was again a great selection of trails and highlights. Only locals can really plan something like that. Thanks to @Christoph Kehse for organizing. 👏🙌

Thank you @Christoph Kehse for this great tour. For me it was the first time in the Selketal.
Unfortunately we had some technical interruptions... but we still had fun until the end

The Selketal Valley was on my to-do list today. With temperatures around 36-38°C, I preferred to cycle in the shade... It worked out quite well. I ended up skipping two destinations: the Saxon castle ruins and Falkenstein Castle. It was just too hot.

Did something for physical and mental fitness again today. Selketal is easy to reach for me and offers nice, quiet stretches on which you sometimes have to make an effort. The weather was great, the air in the forest was wonderful.
