A loop that hasn't been ridden for quite some time. Admiring the somehow impressive Cologne Randskanal with its reddish-brown broth again, which then disappears somewhere underground.
Exactly right for a Sunday afternoon with a southeast wind, and to fire up the grill afterwards before the sun says goodbye 🌭🍺😀.

Where to go again today? I haven't been to the Bellinghovener Weiher in a while. One of the most beautiful resting places in the wider area, in my opinion.
To bring in some variety, I modified the tried-and-tested route a little. I incorporated some newly discovered highlights during planning, but above

North and west of Mönchengladbach, there are still some white spots on my map.
Sunday afternoon, not too hot anymore, wind direction is right, so it's just right to fill some of them. Nice area and paths, I wouldn't have thought it. Has potential, there's definitely more to come!

Not too long ago, during a tour to Kempen, I discovered Gut Heimendahl and the Saturday soup dinner that takes place there.
The ambiance of the estate is simply great, the soup anyway, and the surrounding area too. So, enough reasons to go there again today.
However, I had to deviate from the planned route

I start in Burg-Reuland and treat myself to just under 100 km more of the divine Vennbahn.
How the day will end, however, is still completely open.
Go to Aachen and then take the train back? But I'm known to not be keen on the Aachen area.
Spend another night, only to then just ride the relatively dull

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

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

More than two months have passed again since the last potato pancake tour to Bauer Kübbeler. It was high time. 😋
On the way back, I took a look at what the former restaurant / beer garden / fishing park at Zievericher Mühle looks like now. It used to be very nice there, now unfortunately it's just a
