And once again I've landed in a hotel where breakfast only starts at 08:00. Grrr... I don't get going until 10:00. However, only 70 km are actually planned for today. Why?
During planning, I accidentally discovered some promising cycle paths in Luxembourg. But to even get there from today's starting point

Ok, today's distance of 87 km is well below my capabilities. But there were no other accommodations to be found for miles around.
After another 11 km on the Eifel-Ardennen cycle path, I meet the Enz cycle path at the former train station Pronsfeld. It greets me with a short but steep climb of 18%. This

I didn't feel like cycling a long, rather monotonous route, so I decided on something completely new: I'm travelling by TRAIN 😬😬😲. When will I arrive? Will I arrive at all? This could be interesting. It's already starting well: already with my morning coffee, I see in the app that "several wagons

Just a short standard round at home, nothing special 🥱. But before the bigger tour next week, it's better to test thoroughly again whether komoot hasn't slipped in any updates with new quirks and bugs 🤬. I couldn't change anything about it now anyway, but at least I could adjust and prepare for it

This morning it is overcast and gray. But finally bearable temperatures again. Almost on the borderline for long sleeves.
I want to ride one of my favorite routes: first towards Rheindahlen, the wonderful road through Lüttelforst to Niederkrüchten, shortly after the fantastic "Red Bicycle Autobahn" through

I'm setting off early today (for me) to avoid the heat, crowded cycle paths, and the north-easterly wind that picks up during the day as much as possible.
First towards and through Neuss, to get to the Rhine. I take a look at the grounds of the State Garden Show and cross the Südbrücke. Oh no, it's called

I rode this route not too long ago, and felt like doing it again today.
Not only because it's very beautiful and because of the old-school chip shop in Wegberg, but above all because the direction was perfect for riding against the rather strong westerly wind first, and then letting it gently blow me

No longer so hot and still light for a long time. So you can still go to Bauer Kübbeler for Reibekuchen (potato pancakes) after work on Fridays without it getting dark on the way back. Finally, back there again after a long time.
I didn't even know you could sit outside there in the summer - wonderful

So annoying, my tour from yesterday, day 6, from Borken to Xanten, seems to have been completely lost. In the evening I had a very bad internet connection. It uploaded to 46%, then nothing happened anymore. Nothing has been synced since, which often worked in such cases before. A real shame, because

I'll keep it short, because it got late today.
The day starts well. Admittedly, strong headwind, but sunny.
Around noon, I reach the undisputed highlight of the day, Nordkirchen Castle. Wow! It can't get any bigger or better! Amazing!
10 km later, however, the weather turns. Dark bank after dark bank moves

The weather this morning in Brilon is unpleasant. Thick grey rain clouds, wet, windy and cold. It's not raining, but I'm putting on the unloved rain jacket. Without it, it's too cold. Despite it being June, I've wisely packed gloves. I'll need them today too.
From Brilon, I'm cycling the Möhnetal-Radweg

After a particularly beautiful, eventful, but sweaty tour in the Sauerland, famous for its many and nasty climbs, the fine gentleman dined at the nearby golf club in the evening, wanted to write a comment afterwards, and fell asleep 😬😴.
Unfortunately, there is not much more to read here today.

Unfortunately, breakfast is only available from 8:00 AM today, Sunday. Although it is extremely good, I can only set off much too late.
I leave Siegburg and first tackle the remaining 50 km to the Aggertal-Bahnradweg. There was no usable alternative when planning, so I have to ride along a federal road

Start of the first (and hopefully not only) major tour of the year.
But it only gets really interesting from tomorrow, with the start of the asphalted, well-developed part of the Aggertal-Bahnradweg in Dieringhausen. First, 160 km need to be covered to get there. Today, I burned off the first few of them

Due to the late breakfast time once again, we can only start at 10:00 today as well. The sun is already burning hot 🥵.
I want to ride through the valleys of the Clerve and the Wiltz. It's only through the forest, on excellent paths along the rivers. Only: "valley" and "along" here doesn't mean "flat
