LoKi 🚴

Today a nice round in the Kuppenrhön.
Actually, I would have wanted to get to the top of the Mettermich; there is a MTB highlight.
The last steep climb was not drivable for me.
Because I didn't want to push my bike up or leave it behind, I finally pulled off undone things 🙁

As such, it should have been an exploration tour.
So far I've only been to Waldberg once and that was a business appointment 25 years ago.
Because I remembered the place well, I wanted to take a look around at the foot of the Holy Mountain of the Franks.
On the way, I got lost and got there faster than planned. Still, I thought the detour was great.
I have to go there again with a decent tour planning.

Today again on soft ground and on loose gravel:
that's okay!

After changing to the new unbreakable tire, a little test drive was the order of the day.
It felt pretty neat; I may have to try the air pressure a bit later.

Admitted:
Breakdowns never come naturally.
Otherwise you would probably call it a stroke of luck, or something.
But have you ever noticed that flat feet are only available where there is nothing else for miles, or is it just me?

Well, that was planned a little differently today, especially a good deal further.
Sometimes it was really wonderful:
clear air and pleasantly mild temperatures.
Then it pulled like pike soup again.
The gusts were partly on free routes. so violently that they almost blew me off the bike.
In the end I postponed the second part of the tour.

Even today it was only enough for a small tour in the home zone.
But better a small one than none.
It looks different every day and if you don't go out, you quickly missed something.
In the meantime, the apple blossom has also reached us.
So far only a few bloom. The pears, on the other hand, are in full bloom, some of them are almost over.
Most of the (sweet) cherries in our country have now turned brown because the last frost has struck fully in bloom, the sour cherries are just beginning to bloom ...

Today just a small tour to three particularly impressive trees.
Otherwise there were a few insights into the forest and fields, as well as views across the Saale valley to the Rhön.

Today without any plan and only with a rough direction through the Neuwirtshauser forest to the Heegkopf and back via Hetzlos.
In spring there is always a lot for the senses.
For me (like probably many others, too) these are the eyes first.
But today the sense of smell also got its money's worth:
in the forest it was the resin of the conifers, which smelled wonderfully aromatic and above the fields there was more of a sweet floral scent.

Today for the first time in a short-sleeved shirt.
It can stay that way.
However, I suspect that the farmers have been too dry again for too long.
And in fact (with us) the fields are so dry that there is a lot of dust.
