The fourth and final tour in Reh took us from one highlight to the next: the Recklinghausen mine, the Drachenbrücke (Dragon Bridge), the ascent to the Hoheward spoil heap, a rapid descent to the Ewald mine, through the Hertener Emscherbruch nature reserve to Schloss Westerholt Golf Club. Finally, we

The third tour starts in Rehburg-Weilburg and heads to Vestischer Garten. The next destination is the old Ewald mine. The route continues to the beautiful graffiti at the Stimberg Stadium in Oer-Erkenschwick. Through the Hohe Mark Nature Park, the Wesel-Datteln Canal, and the Silbersee lake to Flaesheim

Our second tour from REH started with the motto, loosely based on Shakespeare (Rain or no rain), along the Allee des Wandel coal railway route to the Schlägel & Eisen mine, then on to Herten water castle. After a break at the Marl Lohmühle airfield, we continued to the Haltern reservoir. A stop at Jupp

Our first tour, starting in Recklinghausen, led us to Suderwich, then along the KLT route past Horneburg Castle, now used as a boarding school, to the old Henrichenburg boat lift on the Rhine-Herne Canal. The Dominican monastery and the Libeskind Villa in Datteln, on the Rheinzink AG site, with a personal

Today was a long ride of over 70 km, but the route was mostly flat. Our destination was Kaiserswerth! We spent our lunch break at the Tonhalle restaurant. We highly recommend this restaurant because everything was delicious and the lunch menu offers a wide selection of discounted dishes. The long journey

Achim [HaJoBiker], Leo, Ralf, Peter, and I explored the beautiful Murbach Valley today. As so often, Achim chose a route that had something for everyone. Tough climbs, bumpy single trails, and descents that made your eyes water...but it was beautiful all the same. Thanks Achim for the planning and guiding

The 6th and final tour took us from Bamberg to Franconian Switzerland. The 20% climb through the forest pushed our e-bikes and riders to their limits. We continued on to Tiefenpölz Stonehenge, alternating between ups and downs. A stop in Geisfeld for cold drinks and a snack was a welcome relief. From

Our 5th tour from Bamberg to Forchheim and back. Through beautiful little villages, challenging climbs, and rapid descents through the forest. A lunch stop at the beer cellars in Forchheim. Back along the Main-Danube Canal to Bamberg...

Die heutige Wetterlage mit mehr als 28°C war geradezu prädestiniert für eine schattige Route durch die bewaldeten Bachtäler im näheren Umkreis. Die durchaus radfahrerrisches geschick fordernde Routenführung hielt was sie anfänglich versprach. Tolle Trails über Stock und Stein...steile Anstiege und rauschende Abfahrten...einfach Topp...ruft nach Wiederholung durch die ... 🐐.

Das ist eine lange, flache Tour nach Kaiserswerth, mit einem sehr schönem Streckenverlauf, überwiegend auf Radwegen und durch Wälder. Wir haben versucht verkehrsreiche Straßen zu meiden oder zu umfahren.

Today was a beautiful tour with at least 80% of the route through shady valleys and forests. Achim, Peter, Ralf, and I had a great time with the challenging route... and after a highly recommended refreshment at the Hilden Fish House, we relaxed back to Haan/Hilden. 👍...Thanks Achim for the planning
