My MTB once again needed maintenance (tyres, cassette, chain and lubricate everything again). Unfortunately not finished because my compressor gave up the ghost 🤮 Now it's half assembled in the basement. So today a tour on asphalt with a little gravel.

Didn't feel like mud today, so the MTB had to stay at home.

After the weather finally improved a bit, we went on a hike today.
We also visited the town center of Neckarsteinach.
In Schönau, we then visited the remains of the former monastery.
