September 28, 2023,# T23.089 | Odenwald Trails: Megatrails zwischen Alsbach und Melibokus I (inkl. Be 1 und NdlB 1) 👍👍👍
On the basis of a tour from @Step-n-Go we went to the Odenwald again after a long time - at an unusual 27°C for the end of September. Partly following the Be 1 and NdlB 1, with the intention of “rocking” or “shooting” the trails.

December 3, 2022,Frostig, neblig, schmuddelig… aber eklig war’s trotzdem nicht 😀
The weather wasn't exactly inviting for a round in the living room, but somehow I wanted to get back on the bike 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unfortunately quite uncomfortable weather. From about 500 meters it got frosty 🥶.

From Malschen it went downhill along the Ndl B over forest paths and some S0 trails.

Perfect weather to ride up and down the mountain and scrub known trails!

November 8, 2024,Darsberg-Jossa-Hüttchen-Tibia und Kapellen Trail 🥳💪
Rocked the Meli again today.
Rode the Darsberg-Jossa-Hüttchen-Tibia and Kapelle Trail.
Yes, autumn has its pitfalls with the leaves.
Still gave it gas up and down 🕺💪

February 25, 2023,Trails-Total-Runde am Meli💪👍
Inspired by @Thorsten Harnack's last tour, the plan was to do a trail-only lap.

Ok, one or the other forest path was there, but otherwise a lot of trails scrubbed. 😉

The ones that Komoot shows as "off grid" are exciting. Everything was really there from Jossa and Hütchen to Corona, Tibia and you name it 😀
