Relaxing tour to the Lower Rhine near Lobberich.🤠
I had previously ignored the Ingenhovenpark in the center.
Always drove past.🙃
Today I took a little break there 🍌
and admired the castle.🙏
It's strange what you can discover when you look closely.🕵️
#13 💯

The temperatures (>30°) were borderline again today.
😝
I had originally planned 100 km, but two factors were against me.
In Hochneukirch, passage to Jüchen was blocked due to a fun run
😟, and at the same time, the heat took its toll on me around noon, 😰so I decided to abandon

On the Raderlebnistag 2026, I finally rode a tour again in mixed weather.
I resisted the rain for a long time. 🌧️
But at the information station in Hilfarth near Haus Sodekamp, it finally got me. I took shelter briefly and then continued without a rain jacket.
🚲
I got wetter from below through my wheels

After an intense, brief exchange of ideas ⚔️ with a truck driver early this morning at 5:13 AM, 👏
who was busy with his forklift,
I had a considerable adrenaline surplus in my body.👿
I decided to reduce this to a normal level again through a longer bike tour.
🚲
I chose Belgium for my tour.
I hadn't been

At breakfast, I was asked if I had all my marbles.
In this heat.
😜
Well, probably not.
Until about 11 AM, the wind was still bearable, but then it became damn unpleasant.
Only hot 🔥.
The remaining marbles in my head were now seriously wobbling and I shortened the tour in Ederen.
🥹Home.

The cold shower was like a salvation.🤡

Given the temperature forecast for the rest of the week 🌡️
I rode another lap to Meinweg today at approx. 30 degrees.
Thanks to a mild "northerly breeze" it was quite pleasant to ride.
🐂
The cattle on the plateau were apparently having a great time splashing in the waterhole.🛁🏖️

Sunday round to Hückelhoven to Shaft 3.
The new bridge to the Millicher Halde is slowly taking shape.
The "feeder paths" are already asphalted, but still fenced off and not accessible.
🙃
The bridge over the Rur near Ratheim is finished. The accompanying cycle path is also newly tarred.😁

Looking for a "shady" route, I ended up at Heiligen Ludwig in Meinweg today.
Due to the high temperatures, breaks were rather unpleasant.😰
I was back home by noon.
🫡
In our village (Lieck) there is a funfair.
🤪 You can drink until delirium, 🍻🥃
but cannabis is forbidden.☝️

Last act for Stadtradeln 2026.
Unfortunately, I didn't quite manage the 1000km.
15km are missing.
🙃
Close, but no cigar.
It was effectively too warm for me today. 🥵
But I can live quite well with 985km.
As a team of three, we took 5th place in Heinsberg and avoided 434.7kg of CO2.
P.S.
I love it when the garbage collection has been!

Mountain tour😇
🙃
Actually, I wanted to go via Echt to Roosteren and then to the river.
Oops, that didn't work out!😛
The level crossing in Slek was closed but no train came and came, yet it was "permanently red".
So I had to detour via Suesteren.
😏
Also, further along the tour, especially in NL, new difficulties

Sunday loop through the closer homeland without a concrete plan.
😬
The storks have now also arrived in the Heinsberg district.
They had gathered for a common meal in the Karkener Benden.
