Highlight • Cycleway

Ruhr Valley Cycle Path: Section at the Ruhr Valley Ferry

December 21, 2023,Richtiges Sch***wetter 🌧️💦🌬️🌧️🌪️

Today's weather wasn't exactly ideal for cycling. But what has to, has to! So put on your rain gear and get on your bike! Heavy rain, hail, squalls, floods, headwinds! I had to bypass the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path in two places because the path was flooded. Everything you could want for a nice December tour :) At least it …

After the 8-hour power outage, I did a little tour on my standard route. I planned the way back so that I would pass large blackberry bushes. I ate a few handfuls. Yummy! 😊🍇

To end the day, I had to do a dark tour 🌙🚲. After sitting at my desk until lunchtime, I picked up my bike from the inspection. Then we went to Werne for a birthday party 🎉. But my daily exercise wasn't over yet. However, the tour wasn't on my bike because I still have to wax the chain 🛠️🚴.
