With an ice cream you can admire beautifully renovated half-timbered houses. In Brückengasse there is a drinking water fountain in front of a bicycle shop, where you can fill up your drinking bottles.

Finally some sun again to go for a bike ride along the Fulda.

Our destination was Melsungen, but we didn't meet any handball players, but we did see a beautiful old town.

For once, I went for a ride on my e-bike. Suddenly, I get new impressions on seemingly familiar trails. I'm particularly impressed by the bike barn in Lobenhausen, for example. There, bikers can get cold drinks and ice cream for a reasonable price, which they have to put in a box. It's all volunteer work and done on a trust …

At a family celebration, I briefly drove to Melsungen to get some exercise.
It was great outside, unfortunately not enough snow.
I wanted to test the winter tires and the new waterproof shoes.
The tires (Schwalbe Johnny Watts 365) were great in the snow and the shoes kept me really warm.
Now all that's missing is a lot of snow.

My favorite lap but when the sun went away it got pretty cold. Hats off to my husband, who cycles 20 km to work every day and then has to go back the route after work and that too at unchristian times 👍🏼😘
