Operation 8.000: The Bramsche Bread Roll Mission
Today marks a historic milestone: the 8,000-kilometer mark must be reached. Only a ridiculous 40 kilometers separate me from glory. Today's tour to Bramsche perfectly closes this gap.
A welcome side effect: I'll grab fresh bread rolls for our second breakfast

Running shoes or bike, the question is quickly answered. Just set off without making any speed, that's the goal. Rain gear stays at home, after all, one is an optimist. Via Hellern I head for Hasbergen.
It continues to Natrup-Hagen. I turn left and follow the road to Hagen a.TW. Short consideration, head

Just set off, or the hunt for a Currywurst.
On one of our tours, our hunger was great. We spontaneously headed for the nearest snack bar and ordered a Currywurst. Unfortunately, it didn't meet our expectations. On a scale of one to ten, it only reached a five.
Thus, the challenge was born: to find a Currywurst

The FBF Tour – A Philosophical Reflection.
One might think "FBF" stands for First Big Feeling or Future Business Future. Wrong!
The truth is more mundane, but more honest: Friedhof (cemetery), Brötchen (bread roll), Frühstück (breakfast).
A tour concept that sounds like a serious life crisis, but turns

The weather forecast predicts unpleasantly warm conditions. This means starting early and taking enough water on board. Two and a half liters are stowed, and if necessary, more can be refilled. At 08:01, punctually, I take the train to Bersenbrück, where the starting point for today's tour through the

Today I'm out on my own. Although the weather forecast isn't the best, I'm heading to Hengelo. 08:14, platform 12, my train arrives on time. Hengelo is reached without delay. As I get off in Hengelo, I notice the first peculiarity: eight other cyclists are getting off. Not just any cycling community

Good morning, good morning. Second day of the tour. Our bikes were made ready and the panniers stowed. Now it's off to the breakfast table first. Fresh coffee ensures alertness, rolls, eggs and whatever else tastes good provide the carbohydrates, and orange juice gives the necessary vitamin boost.

The thought of this tour had been gnawing at us for a long time. Finally, the time has come! The destination: Bremen, but with a very special stop along the way – the Gasthof Märtens in Haßbergen. We were there three years ago, and the memory was so warm that we had to go back there.
If you are planning

It's eleven o'clock, enjoyed the second breakfast, the weather promises to stay dry. So, up on the saddle and off spontaneously. I could actually go to Venne. Let's see how the place has changed. After all, I spent two years of my childhood and school days here. Admittedly, it was a while ago, back in

The weather is good, so we're heading to Rheine, this time by train. We arrive on time, but before we start the actual tour, a proper breakfast first.
Let's go. Past the basilica, the first destination is the Torfmoorsee lake. One lap around and we continue into the "wet triangle". A short break and we

During the week the weather was quite meager. And also this morning it doesn't look really spring-like. So I swung myself onto the saddle a bit frustrated and came home in a good mood after 26km.
It worked out!

Today's plan was a tour along the Mittelland Canal. Things turned out differently. First, we headed towards Hellern, then on to Gaste. Crossing Feldriede and continuing along the Goldbach stream, we followed a short stretch of Tecklenburger Straße. From there, we took unfamiliar paths and reached Hagenberg

Essen – Bochum – Essen…
…or: On the hunt for the best Currywurst.
Whenever we are on tour, we are also always on the lookout for the best tour - Currywurst. Since, according to our research, this is supposed to be available at Bratwursthaus Bochum, the route was set.
Punctually, we set off from Osnabrück
