It was actually supposed to be a Rhine Bridge tour.
Unfortunately, I listened to a false prophet, my son :-)
My apps gave me mixed advice, so I listened to my son, who was just coming home, and started off without a jacket and in shorts. Of course, that was completely wrong. After about 500 meters, I stopped

Past Waldhof Hackhausen and Wasserburg Haus Graven. <-- that was actually what today's tour was supposed to be called, and it was supposed to be a leisurely 25km relaxing loop.
But "farting on gravel," the bike kept going south.
The plan was to turn right toward Richrath after the glider airfield near

After receiving the delivery from a bike shop today, I headed straight to a suitable workstation in the shade at the Unterbacher Lake boat harbor.
The plan was to replace the parallelogram seatpost because the existing saddle couldn't be adjusted low enough at the front. Well, I guess I "farted on gravel

It's time to take another look at the Urdenbacher Kämpe.
This time from east (Garath) to north (Urdenbach).
Information about this area can be found here:

I've rarely, if ever, taken so few pictures.
Let's see if anyone notices :-)

The Rhine was today's destination, precisely at kilometer marker 726 in the Himmelgeister Rheinbogen (Himmelgeist bend).
The weather, with its rather high temperature of 30°C, was quite bearable with appropriate clothing.
There was also a light breeze
and some shady sections.

Today's weather suggested that I
plan a forest hike.
That turned out to be the Heiden Runde (Heiden Loop).
With ups and downs, there were many pleasant forest sections.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be even warmer and more humid,
so I'll probably plan a trip to the Rhine.

At the end of this tour, komoot reads:
Completed tours = 500.
The route led via Haan and Wuppertal-Vohwinkel to the open-cast mine, or should I say quarry, in Dornap.
The return journey took us via Schöller, Gruiten, and Unterfeldhaus to Hilden.
There were two closures along the route.
One was on Schöllerweg

Today, according to various weather apps, there was again a rain-free window for my area,
so I quickly planned a tour on my laptop,
got my bike out of the basement, and off I went.
I chose the Rather SV Waldstadion (forest stadium) in the Aaper Forest as my destination. The apps were right,
because it didn

Via Unterfeldhaus, up to the Erkrather Römerweg (Roman Trail) and down the other side, past the Düsselauen (Düsselauen) and Gerresheim to the finish, the Grafenberg racecourse. From there, we went around it and down the other side, along the well-known Rolander Weg (Rolander Trail). The return route
