A bike trip down memory lane to beautiful Telgte, where I grew up. The outward journey went smoothly for the most part, following the Ems River, but then a few (technical) hiccups led to a 2.5-hour return ride in darkness and drizzle. But as they say, toughens you up! 😋👻🚴♂️

The sun, which had been forecast for the day before, didn't make an appearance, but this Friday tour was still a scenic ride through the still-colorful autumn scenery. 🚴🌻🍁

A short, leisurely exploration tour through Soest's city center and the incredibly atmospheric Christmas market, which is officially one of the 12 most beautiful in all of Europe :)
