October 12, 2023,Fahrradtour im dunkeln zum Herzberg TS
After running various errands, I left quite late. So that my fitness doesn't deteriorate too much, I ride my city bike in the Taunus to Herzberg in the dark. That's why pictures are pretty poor, except for the salamander in front of my bike light.

Sun heat tour, via Schloss Tannenwaldallee, Hirschgarten and at the foot of the Marmorstein to Saalburg. The route via Tannenwaldallee is the most pleasant way to Saalburg than if you drive to Saalburg via Cafe Molitor or Hamelhansweg

With the new pinion and the new chain, an unsupported gear ratio has been installed on the bike. 😋
Now my bike is finally "tinkered with": Sora rear derailleur and lever, GRX crank and front derailleur and now the power of the 36 teeth on the large pinion instead of 32. 🤣
