Teuto-Runde zwischen Halle und Dissen
Das war eine "Kennenlern-Runde" für unser neues Focus Thron² 6.8 EQP E-Mountainbike. Ich wollte ausprobieren, wie gut es sich auf den Wald- und Wanderwegen hier in der Gegend fährt und wie weit ich mit einer Akkuladung komme. Ich bin mit ca. 80% Akku los gefahren und hatte am Ende noch 6% übrig. Mit der Tour gestern waren das dann ca. 60 km und 1.000 hm für eine Akkuladung mit dem 600 mWh Akku bei sportlicher fahrweise (Auto oder E-MTB+ Modus mit 25 km/h die Berge rauf). Das Rad soll ja als Allround-Rad eingesetzt werden, also von der Fahrt zum Bäcker über die Familientour in einfachem Gelände bis hin zu Touren auf MTB-Trails wie z.B. dem Trail Ground Brilon oder den Green Trails. Dafür ist es natürlich ein Kompromiss. Für Trails ein wenig schmale Reifen (2,4"), für Touren und Stadtverkehr eigentlich schon zu viel. Das Rad kam mit 2 Gepäckträgern, die leider so gar nicht geländetauglich sind, weil viel zu eng am Reifen anliegend. Da hätte Focus gerne etwas auswählen können, das auch für Trails geeignet ist, und nicht nur für Asphalt (auf Asphalt brauche ich kein Fully mit 150/140 mm Federweg). Den vorderen haben wir schon entfernt, am hinteren hängt das Rücklicht, und leider ohne von außen erreichbare Steckverbindung. Das wird eine etwas kompliziertere Aktion, das so auszubauen, dass man es theoretisch auch wieder einbauen könnte. Das kommt aber auch noch weg. Der Gepäckträger bleibt dann dran, der stört im Gelände nicht und macht einen sehr stabilen Eindruck.

2 days of bikepacking around Lake Edersee - Day 1.
I parked at Eisenberg near Korbach. There are Green Trails, which are easy mountain bike trails especially suitable for beginners. I'd been wanting to check them out for a while anyway, so I decided to combine them with my tour.
On Day 1, I first went

This tour is the 2nd part of my tour to the Aartal trekking site in the Sauerland. You can read about the way there in the description of this tour: komoot.com/de-de/tour/1796283046
After an amazingly good night, I got up at around 6:30. One of the other trekking site users was unexpectedly lying on the

I had been planning for a long time to finally do a first tour alone with an overnight stay at a trekking site. But then - as so often this year - constant rain was forecast.
I then decided to go despite the rain, as I don't often have the opportunity to go alone for so long and the tour this year would

Today was the first time I was on a "real" MTB trail. We've had the Stoic since September, but we just haven't had time for it yet. Unfortunately (as far as I know) there aren't any such official and freely accessible trails around Halle

On this tour I had set out to beat my previous record of 164 km and wanted to ride at least 200 km.
I therefore chose the route with a higher proportion of asphalt and fewer meters of elevation than I would normally do.
There were some beautiful spots, other sections were a bit longer. When you ride through

A nice tour around the fjord, with a detour to a larger forest area in the south. There is also a nice rest area in the forest with shelter huts, a fireplace and a toilet.
The ferry crossing costs 35 DKK, which is approximately €4.69.

On the second day, I wanted to pack up my tent in a dry place, so I waited for the first major break in the rain. So I didn't get going until around midday.
I didn't want to take the direct
