Riverside rest area on the Tauber River in Edelfingen

Highlight • Rest Area

Here there is a rest area located directly on the Tauber. In the company of sleepy ducks and a lively goose, we had a pleasant snack.

I'll start with a few quotes directly from Komoot:

1. "Cycling may not be allowed in this location."
2. "Here you will have to dismount and push."
3. "You know your way around? Help others with your tips."

The somewhat terrifying fountain next to the tower represents the legend of the “Steidemer Männle”: In the legend, a farmer had to flee from his Rothenburg pursuers. Niederstetten was a …

Herbsthäuser Brewery Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

The Herbsthäuser Brewery, like the affiliated brewery-restaurant, relies primarily on regional products. This is not only noticeable in the quality of the beer, but also in the kitchen, which also goes perfectly with its own beer specialties.

For the first time back on the mainland, I wanted to "stretch my legs" and go for a pleasant, not too hard 2-hour walk to remind my leg muscles of the strain after almost two weeks of sailing. A pleasant, deserted trip with evening temperatures around 20 degrees and a very cloudy sky. Somehow new, unusual, after the sunny, hot …

Finally a casual road bike lap with a headwind, long straights, long climbs but also high-speed sections :-) just managed to do it before the bad weather period set in!

Given the temperatures, it was a tough choice between water sports and cycling. Common sense won: enjoy the heat by/in the water during the day, and then, in the evening when the temperatures become somewhat more circulatory-friendly, get on your bike and go for a leisurely ride. The strategy proved to be spot on – it meant everything could be …

Mia's New Legs Part II. I deliberately did a familiar lap in a light headwind and crosswind to see how the wheels behaved. Although they're over 2 cm higher than the old ones, you can feel them sailing, sometimes a little nervous in gusts, but never uncontrollable. Overall, they're quite stable. Only the speeds fall short of expectations...but that might …

...I would honestly prefer that too, but I still think winter with sun and cycling in the sunshine is nice too! :-)
After Santa Claus not only gave us a bad conscience (because of the gluttony over the holidays!), but also such sunny weather, today was definitely the time to ride our racing bikes. At about 2 degrees but in …

Given the prevailing temperatures, I took advantage of the long day and didn't set off until the evening, just enough to arrive in daylight. Just before Weikersheim, I suddenly decided to do the last loop (just without the detour via Brunnenberg) – not usually my style, but with the prevailing light wind, my originally planned loop would have turned into …

The damp, cold weather of the last few days hasn't made cycling particularly easy... sometimes it's too cold, sometimes it's too damp, sometimes it's too grey, sometimes it's too late, sometimes it's too much to do...
After I was disappointed and demotivated when I looked out of the window yesterday, I was even more pleased when I looked at today's …

Despite the infection subsiding last week (also to get rid of the remaining snot) and despite the constant risk of getting caught in a thunderstorm, I pursued my sporting goals and did a spontaneous ride to Riedbach, stopping by Trödel-Susi...so hot and humid that the top tube was constantly wet...and dried out again straight away.
Strong wind from the northwest …
