Since I didn't want to swim this year due to a lingering cold, I walked along the shore instead to take photos.
The starting point was under the Steinheim Bridge, which was reached by bus from the meeting and changing area – the DLRG (German Life Saving Association) clubhouse. Mats had been placed on

Despite the cold, I cycled to physiotherapy. On the way there, I avoided the meadow path to get out of the mud and took the country road to Rendel for a slightly longer stretch. It's quite unpleasant, though, when the cars don't seem to understand what a 2-meter gap is.
So, on the way back, I turned right

The temperature had risen slightly to around 11°C, and the clothes I'd worn for the walk were still adequate. The thinner gloves I'd used for walking were also sufficient for cycling.
When I got home, my bike was so filthy that I had to get out the cleaning equipment again to get it reasonably clean.

There were two of us from the fast Nordic walking group, and we opted for the route to Wachenbuchen, which is a bit longer, but that didn't bother us.
Today, my heart rate monitor and Komoot were almost in complete agreement regarding the distance and speed.
With temperatures between 9 and 11°C, my cycling

Today I took advantage of the dry weather to ride my e-MTB to Hanau-Wilhelmsbad for Nordic walking with the local running group.
Despite the temperature being only around 9°C, my warm running leggings with cycling shorts underneath, a warm T-shirt with a long-sleeved jersey, a thin, lined jacket, and

Today I checked out the status of the bike path construction sites again, earlier than on Sunday.
First, I went to the construction site for the R4 / "Am Bruch" bike path / Feldbach bike path. I had to wait for a container truck to maneuver, first unloading a full container of wood chips and then transferring

The outward journey to the physiotherapy appointment was extended – while it was still light – and took me along the Nidda cycle path to Burg-Gräfenrode and back to Rendel through the Karben Forest.
After the treatment, I added a "construction site inspection" to the return journey and drove along Weinbergsgrundweg

This afternoon, I quickly took a short ride to find out what's behind the closure of the R4 cycle path between Niederdorfelden and Hohen Straße. A major renovation of the path is planned, which is why it will be closed until the end of February 2026.
There's no sign of anything happening on the cycle

Today, for a change, we rode as a trio, taking one of us a bit slower. We mostly stuck to forest trails, though the thick layer of leaves made some muddy sections barely visible, and there was plenty of mud and puddles to go around. Nevertheless, we made it to our destination without any slips or mud

After almost four weeks of taking a break from sports due to a cold – apart from the occasional "walk" – I ventured out today to cycle to physiotherapy. I took it nice and easy, using one more level of assistance than usual to keep my heart rate low. I have to ease back into training gradually.
