February 9, 2024,Probefahrt mit neuem Motor

Yesterday we picked up Maggie's bike from the workshop. A new motor had to be installed and all the wiring had to be replaced. Now all parts except the frame and display are new. Today we did our first successful test drive, but because it started to rain heavily during the tour, we didn't do the tour as planned. We …

After spending hours watching the professional cyclists in the Tour de France on Eurosport, our legs were still itching to go for a short ride that evening, and we absolutely had to do a little ride. The route took us through the Ostertal valley and then along the Fritz Wunderlich cycle path via Reitscheid back home. Shortly before the end …

Today the so-called Germany tour starts right on our doorstep. Because of this cycling event, there is no traffic in the city center of St. Wendel after 12:00 p.m. That's why we set out this morning at 8:00 a.m. for a short bike tour and did a few things along the way. At noon we watch the cycling event on …

A varied route, lots of scenery, and some wildlife. For my taste, however, it passes through villages far too often. Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic on the roads.

Varied tour. The landscape is almost like in the Allgäu. Very well signposted, as always, in Saarland!

July 7, 2026,Kurz nach Oberkirchen

Today we have something to take care of in Oberkirchen, so we cycled via Urweiler and Reitscheid and over the Fritz Wunderlich Weg to Oberkirchen. On the way home, we visited a friend in Saal and then cycled back home via Niederlinxweiler. Along the way, it was clearly noticeable that the summer drought had left its mark everywhere in nature.
