Despite the ice and snow, I couldn't resist going for a ride today.
😁 I grabbed my old mountain bike and took off.
I started on the snow-covered roads (for cars)
to the Rur River near Karken.
Then I followed the snowy Rur Cycle Path upstream to Garsbeck.
After that, it

Today's Meinweg loop was a bit different.

The "red carpet" tarmac 👅 was only briefly present near Meinfeld,

The route practically suggested itself today.
Avoiding shade due to black ice was paramount.

In the afternoon it dried out and was therefore easier to drive.
Finally, I reached my goal of 13,000 km! 😁

A bitterly cold east wind made it difficult to get through.
Along the way, we stumbled upon an ancient building currently being renovated and remodeled:
Haus Blumenthal

The building was first mentioned in 1452.

So close to Christmas, there was a lot of "moving"
🐜🐜🐜🐜 on the roads.
The traffic felt extremely tense and hectic.

Luckily, it was dry. 😛
😉 My destination was the Erkelenz villages of Berverath, Kuckum, Westrich

The day started promisingly this morning with a beautiful sunrise.
🔆🌤️
The temperatures were also pleasantly warm.

Trip to Jülich for the future-oriented structural transformation project in the Rhineland region.
It's currently a huge construction site with lots and lots of dirt 😏.

Today I enjoyed the beautiful weather again 👅
taking advantage of the fresh snowfall.
My destination was once again the Meuse River.
I've never been there in winter.
💁♂️
And look: the Meuse 😗 is always a good idea.
😇
By the way:
The roads in the Netherlands weren't any better gritted than in Germany. 🤫
