April 21, 2025,Ostermontagstour Rinteln Marktplatz und zurück

Wonderful cycling weather lured us along the Weser Valley toward Rinteln today.
Others also took advantage of the weather today.
Actually, worse weather had been forecast for late afternoon, but we were spared.

July 25, 2026,Von Rinteln zum Großen Weserbogen (Campingplatz-Check) und Retour ☀️☀️👍🏼

Since we had only ridden on the right bank of the Weser up to Veltheim so far, this beautiful tour was something new again 😎 We liked it very much, especially at the big Weser bend 👍🏼 The campsite is very nice, especially the motorhome pitches! We will certainly spend a few days there sometime ☀️😎

In Rinteln and Bad Oeynhausen there is an exhibition about AI generated art. Reason for us to spend the weekend here and cycle a little along the Weser. The exhibition did not disappoint. Very entertaining and interesting to look at which images are created by a few text specifications and how AI then knows how to describe them.

June 19, 2025,Oeynhausen nach Möllenbeck per Weserradweg überwiegend

The group set off in good cycling weather.
The sun occasionally hid behind clouds.
This made the ride bearable.
Plenty of refreshment breaks were taken.
We cycled along the Weser River via Vlotho and Eisbergen to the courtyard garden of the Möllenbeck estate.
Here we were able to fortify ourselves with coffee and cake under shady trees.

November 12, 2022,Auf der Suche nach Blöte ⚙️und der Sonne ☀️

After I had changed the chain, I had to realize on the first tour that I could only ride on the big ring. from the middle one she jumped down at the slightest load. Since Multi-Store@ Blote was on the way there. The middle blade was gone and out of stock. So it was time to ride the next 64km …
