September 4, 2022,Was tut man nicht alles für ein Eis😬🥴🤷‍♂️

Now I know again why cycling isn't really my thing😕😬. Somehow I don't like it when my butt hurts and goes numb after half an hour on the bike. If the feeling has subsided at some point tonight, I'll try to get off the bike then too🤔😉.

November 14, 2021,Falsche Entscheidung🤑

Hike or bike at the gas station? (see last picture) ...
I decided on the second one and reached into the toilet (refueling because of memorial day) 🙄🙄
Then a little frustration round on the Ilm cycle path, which I almost had to myself (picture 6 + 7) ...

It's better to drive on the road between Gräfinau-Angstedt and Cortendorf at the moment, otherwise you'll get your feet wet
