For work reasons, I ended up in Wiesbaden for a few days. And because they're known for great cycling 🚴🏼 there, I couldn't resist and simply had to take my bike with me. When I arrived in the afternoon, I quickly checked the Komoot tour suggestions 🗺️ and then I set off straight away. The tour started

This Sunday, in fantastic weather, I set off on my first major gravel ride of 2025. In preparation for my bikepacking event this year, I was not only interested in having a great day on the bike, but also in keeping the downtime as short as possible. I wanted to make progress as effectively as possible

For the first time in a long time, mild temperatures🌡️ and plenty of sunshine ☀️. So I headed south 🧭 on my bike 🚲 via the Kersdorf lock to Neubrück. Unfortunately, the winter service showed once again that Germany doesn't like cyclists🙅🏼. There was snow and icy car ruts on 12 km of cycle path

I have put together a small training route in the Rauen mountains to gain altitude. Of course, you can't compare it with routes in alpine regions, but for a flat sandbox like Brandenburg, it's OK. The route is designed as a circuit and has around 330/340 meters of elevation over 22 km. The surface is

In freezing temperatures 🥶 but beautiful sunshine ☀️ we went to the Rauener Mountains to gain a few meters in altitude. There are no pretty pictures this time because I was too busy collecting lactate 🥵.

Now it was time to go home again and for time reasons I decided to take the train. After a short tour of Dresden I still had some time before my train left. So I took advantage of the nice weather and cycled to Weinböhla station, where I then boarded my train home.

The second part of my little tour to Dresden began with a good breakfast at the nearby bakery. Now I could tackle the last 50 km, but it turned out to be very tough. Headwind and a constant slight incline made it difficult to make progress. My legs were also a bit tired from the day before and there

This weekend, the bespoked in Dresden was on the agenda. And because October was tempting with mild temperatures and lots of sun, I decided to go by bike. I set off straight after work and because I wanted to make relatively quick progress, I planned the route as an easy bike tour. So I mostly went on

Our one-week vacation in Austria 🇦🇹 began with a relaxing 3-lake tour 🚵 along Lake Wolfgang, Lake Attersee, and Lake Mondsee. The tour alternated between beautiful gravel and asphalt paths between the mountains ⛰️🏔️⛰️. This meant the tour had very little elevation gain, making it suitable for less
