Eight brave cyclists followed today's invitation to the climate-friendly adventure „Jahrmarkt Kornelimünster“. It started punctually at 10:30 AM.
The weather couldn't quite make up its mind, oscillating between sun and clouds, while the wind repeatedly reminded us along the way that free kilometers would

Under the motto "Stadtradeln" (City Cycling), we met today at 10:30 am in front of the BürgerMitte Baesweiler. Eight of us set off for the Eygelshoven weekly market. We reached our destination as early as around 11:15 am – a bit too early for the first portion of fried fish.
So we used the time for a

Despite the not-so-pleasant weather forecast, 21 cyclists met today for the kick-off event of the Baesweiler City Cycling campaign. The plan was a round trip via the Old Railway Line through the beautiful Broichbachtal back to the CAP.
Thanks to the protective canopy of leaves, we initially stayed dry

The same procedure as every year? James would turn green with envy!
At 11 a.m., the starting shot was fired at CAP for our 8-person crew. Mission: Kornelimünster! And while the weather app was still philosophizing about jackets, we preferred to take advantage of the cloudless, glorious weather and lush

The weather forecast promised a perfect day – and it was right. Early in the morning, I set off for Mariawald Abbey near Heimbach. Still dressed in layers and wearing gloves when I started, the first ray of sunshine already appeared at the train station in Linnich, increasing my anticipation.

Sometimes, all it takes is a look out the window and the right amount of spontaneity – and a completely normal Sunday turns into a small adventure.
The tour along the Erft from Horrem to its mouth in the Rhine was exactly such a moment: fresh spring green, quiet paths, impressive nature, and exciting

No April Fool's joke,
actually today the plan was just a relaxed trip to Jülich. Get new shoes, roll a bit, done.
Well… and then this weather came.
And suddenly, instead of a shopping list, I had a new tour in my head.
So a quick reality check: Legs okay, time okay – destination changed. Hello Cologne.

Besides my vertical Valentine's Day tour, I also wanted to do something special on the biggest Rhineland holiday.
The muscle soreness from the tour and yesterday's Corralitos-hopping hadn't quite disappeared yet – but oh well: use it or lose it. So, it was time to get the mountain bike out again.

This morning I was up and ready to go early – the weather was still hazy, the wind noticeable. Perfect conditions for a quick hike… but not quite as you might think 😉
I headed up to Pico del Zarza, the highest point on Fuerteventura. Conquering a real 8,000-meter peak (in decimeters!) on Valentine's

As planned, we set off promptly at 7:30 a.m. with eight people and our van and trailer for the grand Walcheren tour. Equipped with everything April weather demands, we expected rain and wind – but instead, we were surprised by bright sunshine, which immediately put us in a good

Today, eleven of us gathered at the CAP with the destination Kornelimünster.
The weather app wanted to convince us to wear jackets, but the sunshine had other plans. So we took it easy via Siersdorf, Schleiden, and the railway line to Hoengen.
The route continued via Begau and Merzbrück, before we experienced

Ten cyclists followed the invitation to the Stadtradeln meeting today. The destination was – completely surprisingly and by no means predictably – the weekly market in Eygelshoven. Some now claim that we already have a regular customer discount there.
