At the end of the Gravity Festival, in the most beautiful weather☀️, I treated myself to one last ride through the beautiful Schlaubetal. Among the many "AFTERDISCO" route variants, I chose a suitable one to be back in time for the closing event. The highlight was the Schlaubetal hiking trail: This is

A race of a special kind: everyone rides a given lap on their own - either with their own or with a gravel bike provided by ROSE. The 13th fastest time wins a prize from ROSE. I rode with my CANYON Grail. Let's see where I end up…

At the Gravity Festival, there was again a "Gravity Cat". The name is derived from Alley Cat, a type of scavenger hunt by bike, where you have to visit several checkpoints using your own navigation to complete tasks there. The 5 checkpoints were managed by the sponsors. We rode in a group of three and

Gravity Festival again at last!😃 Unfortunately the last time in Klingemühle in the beautiful Schlaubetal.😢 For a worthy farewell, I naturally chose the longest of the three variants of the Gravity Circuit: 80.6 km according to the plan. Actually no problem - I thought - and I also had a lot of fun

After the cold and often wet days, it was almost pleasantly warm and sunny today, 🌤️ only the wind was a bit strong. 💨 Overall, therefore, pretty good conditions for a lap through my favorite asphalt terrain towards Schneverdingen. 😎 Next weekend the Gravity Festival is scheduled. I'm already looking forward to it. 😊

For the first time this year, Buxtehuder SV also offered a gravel route for their annual cycling tour „Has‘ und Igel“. Thanks to a tip from @Michaela, I was able to plan the event. In the morning, I rode from my home in Buchholz to the meeting point and encountered the first group of road cyclists even

☀️ The wonderful weather made me feel like having exciting trail adventures, and so I set out with the "tank" among my bikes, the Fully-MTB, towards the Harburg Mountains. 🚵🏻♀️ Passing the Buchholz swimming pool, I immediately started with the first trails. After the cool days, it felt like summer

This was now my third tour along the Este in a short time. From the Appelbecker Seen, it went downstream, mostly along the Este hiking trail. This is not only beautiful, but also technically very demanding in some places. Encounters with hikers precisely at the trickiest spots harbor a certain potential

This year's HarzGravel race unfortunately turned into an extreme event: With constant rain, wind, and temperatures down to 3° C, I already suspected that the endurance of the approximately 1000 participants would be put to the test. 🌧️💨 😬 Three laps of 33 km each, with 500 meters of elevation gain

I messed up my first participation in the Syker Gravelride (with approx. 350 participants) a bit: I dutifully went to the back of the pack and waited for the start. I had overlooked that the start is staggered in groups at different times. Soon after the start, I gradually began to wonder: The route

After my last gravel ride, I once again followed the irresistible call of the Este. 🙂 Since it was a bit wetter this time after the rain, the mountain bike seemed more sensible to me. Nevertheless, I got stuck in the mud at one point.😬 The Este hiking trail is one of my absolute favorite routes: technically

After what felt like an eternity, this was my first gravel tour. To put it upfront: Only now did I realize how much I had missed this feeling of absolute freedom. 🤗 The weather was glorious: clear to sunny, but quite windy. Right at the beginning of my tour, when I tackled my obligatory "local mountain

Although the somewhat windy and still cool weather wasn't entirely inviting, it remained dry, and I could really enjoy the ride on the mostly deserted country roads. I even found my water bottle again on the bench where I had forgotten it on my last ride five days earlier. 😅 There wasn't much going

The almost perfect evening round over butt-smooth asphalt along lonely paths and country roads past farms, meadows and horse paddies into the evening sun.😊 With a temperature range of 9 - 16 °C, the fingerless gloves were the right choice.

When I found out that a good friend of mine has a stand at the town festival in Soltau, I spontaneously decided to drop by for a bit. The weather was great, only the ground was wet in places. Upon arriving in Soltau, I was surprised by the size of the festival and felt almost like at a funfair.😅 I had
