So today with moderate weather (it was very cloudy at the beginning ☁️ and briefly some rain 🌧️ ..... but stayed relatively dry 😅😅)
made a bike tour 🚴 to Gleiberg Castle🏰.

Very often drove past it, but never up today it worked for a few minutes

It was cool but sunny when I left for Launsbach (my old home) in a slightly thicker and windproof jacket. On the way back, however, I was amazed when crossing the Lahn. There was really a brave one swimming in the Lahn. A real challenge at these temperatures.

You want to spend a quiet day there, and then the bike 🚴 screams from the basement.....I want out, I want out 😅😅😅
