Short round through the forest, hardly is October and it already feels a bit more autumnal.

Short midday round over the Berch in glorious late summer weather. Therefore, I sat down a bit at the water tower and enjoyed the warmth.

Hofladen round around Cadolzburg, this time actually with a stopover in the Felsenkeller. Until now, I was always there outside of the season or during the renovation phase. The size of the schnitzels was impressive, but then there is no more room on the plate for the potato salad. Therefore, a bratwurst

Actually, on the last day in Friuli, it was only supposed to be a short trip to Abbazia di Rosazzo. For the way back, I quickly added a detour with Komoot, which significantly increased the gravel content. Here, many farmers dump tons of fine river gravel onto the paths. While this seems to be easy on

Through the Slovenian Collio, the Brda over the Berch to the Soča. Then a little break in Gorizia and back through the Italian Collio. Many altitude meters for the short distances. The Slovenian part is significantly hillier and you can seemingly collect one summit after another on Komoot. The legs are

Tour to the sanctuary of Castelmonte via Cividale. This time I was already a bit nervous, because I had never ridden such a long climb in one go before. The Fausto Coppi memorial stone, however, must have helped, and so our mountain arrival was slower than that of the Giro 2022, but we were able to visit

Today heading south. Aquileia is always worth a trip. Unfortunately, the Campanile is closed for safety reasons. A real shame, because you can see from the Alps to the sea from there. The woman in the Alimentari makes delicious panini, highly recommended. Komoot was set to 'bicycle' today and suggested

First test round in Collio. Komoot usually selects nice paths, sometimes it's a bit overzealous with gravel. The start began immediately with a loop on a fitness trail in Bosco del Plessiva. Hopefully, I'll get used to the climbs for the next few days. The area is very suitable for culinary breaks with

Home circuit, today with slight variations. Pleasant weather, there was also wind, I wasn't sure where it was blowing from until the end. Reward on the way home, my 'new' bike now also has a 5-digit odometer reading..

Short lunchtime round in the Ried for water level check on the Rhine. The ferry landing stage has already been lowered to the bottom stop. A barge was still sailing, presumably not yet fully loaded, very concentrated to stay in the narrow fairway.

Round in the Darmstadt city forest. At every stop-off point there was a wedding, and every level crossing barrier was closed. On the other hand, the actually bad weather left a blue streak exactly above us.

Hiking loop in the beautiful Franconian Switzerland. The weather god was kind. Unlike the drive on the B470, a loop like this shows you how beautiful Franconia actually is. A lively up and down that has hardly missed any viewpoints.

After trying to do a loop over Langenzenn, Cadolzburg and the Grüner Felsenkeller, which was thwarted by 2 slow punctures, we at least made it up to the Kalchreuther Felsenkeller. There were no photos, you'll just have to imagine the Bradwöschd.

Forest little round. It was warmer than expected again, and so a short little round was perfect. This time I read it beforehand and therefore did not end up on the triathlon bike route.

Started at 10 degrees in the fog. Clearly the beginning of the other of the two seasons for cyclists, the one where your nose runs. But then the sun came through, and the rest was golden October. Always beautiful...
