Over 1,000 cyclists took part in this year's Große Weserrunde. Together with over 200 participants, I opted for the longest route variant.
Unfortunately, I missed the pasta party with the mayor's speech because I got stuck in traffic on the way to Rinteln the day before. 😢 I also couldn't pick up my

Even though my choice of orbits can change at short notice from time to time: The routes scouted by Bianca are an absolute must for me, considering unforgettable masterpieces like "Chaos Constellation", "Full Moon Fiasco" or "Harz Halo"!
Since I had already known the Harz before my entry into the gravel

I personally associate the Bergisches Land with many fond childhood memories: In the past, I used to go on numerous impressive tours there from the Ruhr area – both by road bike and, especially, by motorcycle, usually with one of the numerous reservoirs as a worthwhile destination. Even on the way there

I rode directly to the route from Limburg an der Lahn with my gravel bike. Very quickly, I was blown away by the beauty of the soon-to-follow Lahn Valley Cycle Route. 🤩 Of course, given the total elevation gain, it couldn't continue so fast and carefree, and so soon – from Fürfurt – the first climbs

OWL Oddity – scouted by Thomas Hetmeier
I have quite a bit connecting me to Ostwestfalen-Lippe – including my time in the German army, during which I got to know the Teutoburg Forest intimately. In that respect, this orbit made me curious.
However, it quickly became apparent that the character of this

The "Kiel Double Strike": After "Space Seas" now "Baltic Berge". A comparison of the two orbits is almost inevitable. It is remarkable that they share some passages, so that I even doubted the navigation at times and suspected a software error. 😅 However, it quickly became clear that the two are definitely

The anticipation for this orbit was high, as I already rode a beautiful orbit from Kiel last year with "Stellar Stride" by Jennifer Claußen (komoot.com/de-DE/tour/2304917117?ref=itd&t_medium=komoot_tour_share&t_s=referral&t_cid=route_share&t_ref_username=1243459193717).

After having to take a break from cycling due to an infection and a long business trip, this orbit was practically a small comeback. After the heat of the past few days, it was surprisingly cool in the morning.
From Hanover, we first went along the canal, past Garbsen, towards the Steinhuder Meer and

Despite adverse weather conditions - with strong winds and numerous rain showers - I didn't let it stop me from starting a round trip from the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. I thought I had picked a good time, but I had to put on rain gear very soon.🌧️ I could still enjoy the view of the Seehäuser See

I took advantage of my stay at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben🏁 for my son's motorcycle training to do a few laps under my own power in the evening. It had rained a lot during the day, but at the end of the day, the strong wind ensured the track dried in "no time at all". 🌧️⛅️💨 It was a lot of fun

Hurrah, the first orbit of the season! 😃 But unfortunately, not without problems again: Two flat tires on one tour. 🙄 Nevertheless: "Mission accomplished!" 🚀
I started from Lauenburg station in the early morning - the official starting point. The route along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal was very beautiful

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

This Orbit didn't exactly receive the best reviews, and I almost struck it from my list because of it. However, since the route has been improved according to the scouting team and the Orbit for me means only a day trip without a prior or subsequent overnight stay, I stuck to my plan.
