Beautiful light, dry paths, still sparse forests with fresh green on the ground, and here and there patches of sweet woodruff. Still a lot of water in the swamps and great color plays of marsh grass, ponds, and still leafless birches. It was very nice, but it tempted me to ride a bit further than is

Status Check: Trails partially still wet and soft. Some leaning trees are hanging a bit lower (duck your head when passing!), the moors are swamps, many hikers on the way. Great light.
Fitness needs improvement. No wonder after not cycling for almost three months.

After a long break, I cycled the standard route again. There were a lot of hikers out there, but the light was beautiful. It was very nice, despite my toes and fingers quickly going numb. It's already autumn, after all 😀

The ride is always enjoyable. The climbs are almost entirely in the shade (helpful in 30-degree heat), the trails are quite overgrown, typical for the season, there are lots of dead trees, beautiful views, and a nice ride along the Werra River on the way back.
But first, I need an ice cream 😉

Stage 3: Wind without rain at the beginning. Fascinating highland moors. Then rain and a quite dull middle section, at least as long as you don't drop into the local purpuse built trails, which wasn't an option with the heavy backpacks and the slippery trails. Last third of the stage it was sunny again

The Traws Eryri Guidebook calls the first climb of the stage "a stinker of a climb." And rightly so. While it's paved and therefore easy to ride, it was a real pulse-racer from the cold at the start of the tour. Of course, despite the forecast promising sunshine, it rained, and above, the surrounding

Tried something new. The route along the stream at the beginning is very nice, but due to the many crossing roads, it's not really fluid to ride. Stellmoorer Tunneltal is very beautiful scenically and with a few pretty trails.
