Today I turned off the R3 and cycled into a side valley, beautiful, well signposted and saw completely different things going back than going forward. I also saw a 🦊 and a 🐍. Then in the spa park I saw a deer with 2 young ones. I don't regret a single kilometer

It may sound strange to some, but saying goodbye and looking back on good memories is important. 😥😍 After my father's funeral, I got on my bike to feel this connection and the feeling of being protected again. Stolzenberg Castle in particular is a place of remembrance for me. We were there often, me on his shoulders at the top …

Today was the first Monartsmarkt 2024 in Bad Soden. And since it was the first really nice weekend, it was time for a little bike ride there. The market is quite small, but there was at least a butcher's sales cart. We got a pack of bratwursts there for the grill this evening.

First halfway real, albeit short bike tour with a family barbecue afternoon 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🥩🥗🍹🍺🙃
From Hellstein we went to Romsthal, where the family and their followers welcomed us with cool drinks and all kinds of grilled food and various salads. 😍 It was nice.
On the way back I tried to stop by a friend in Bad Soden, who unfortunately wasn't …
