A leisurely bike ride through the fields with friends 🚴🌞

We had planned to go for a coffee in Salzkotten. Unfortunately, 1000 other people had the same idea 😂 So we turned around and had a coffee at home 😊

Nice afternoon tour with coffee and cake on the Quax terrace at the airport. Great atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. We recommend.

During the round I noticed the bank at the "Pfennigsteich" for the first time. After there hadn't been a bank there for decades, I think it's great that someone had the idea of creating a seat in this border town (Geseke/Salzkotten township, Soest/Paderborn district border, Arnsberg/Detmold RP border, Paderborn/Kurköln bishopric border).

Due to extreme headwind, our planned group trip was significantly shortened.
