Today is Monday, and therefore the opportunity to visit a bike shop. The problem wasn't the left pedal, but a loose nut on the right. At the same time as me, a cyclist with a broken rim came into the shop, who wanted to continue on to Marseille. I felt quite small for a moment, but I'm glad I'm just

Today was even better than yesterday. It had rained all night. It was supposed to stop at ten. At a quarter past ten, it finally arrived, and I was able to ride in the dry all day from the start, with temperatures reaching up to 25 degrees.
From Markt Kreuzwertheim, I cycled to Freudenberg on the right

Lohr am Main, after a crazy idea (or rather, a wine one), declared itself the Snow White town. And it works wonderfully. A story doesn't have to be true to be effective.
Aside from this marketing gimmick, Lohr is also a very pretty town and full of tourists during the day. At night, however, it's pretty

No rest day, but now shorter stages again. Today everything went perfectly. No rain, no wind, and pleasantly warm.
The route from Würzburg was very beautiful, quiet, and close to the river. There were a few other cyclists out there as well.
In Karlstadt, komoot crashed, but luckily, after restarting, it

Today, I set off early for my standards at 9:45 a.m. I started in drizzle, but it soon subsided, and I didn't get any of the expected rain. The wind is chasing the clouds. How beautiful! And then the first ferry ride on the Main River near Wipfeld.
I expected more from the Volkau Loop – it doesn't have

Today got off to a good start. Leaving Bamberg, we made a brisk descent along the Regnitz River, with music in our ears. There was no sign of the forecast rain. And 17 degrees Celsius is better than 23 degrees Celsius anyway.
After the confluence of the Main and the (seemingly larger) Regnitz, the cycle

Today, I started late and then went through the spa gardens. Then, at a leisurely pace, I took a ride along the Main River. I haven't always been by the water, but I saw it a few times today.
Rattelsdorf looked familiar, and from there, I headed down the Itzgrund River to Bamberg. The rain forecast for

Breakfast at the Hotel Kronprinz was first-class. If I lived in Kulmbach, I'd go there more often. Even in town, people were having breakfast outside in the cafés. It was a warm September Monday. Italian Upper Franconia.
I wanted to see the confluence of the White and Red Main Rivers. It's only 3 km off

Nach einer längeren Pause heute mal wieder mit dem Rad unterwegs. Am Nachmittag war ich zu warm angezogen, auf der Rückfahrt war es dann genau richtig. :-)

Meine sechste Etappe. Schöner als gestern - und nicht so weit. Lohr ist sehenswert. Das Maindreieck liegt hinter mir. Morgen beginnt das Mainviereck.

Von Bamberg nach Würzburg sind es einfach (für mich) 30 km zu viel. Nachdem ich gestern nur bis Schweinfurt gefahren bin, waren die heute dran. Inklusive die kleine Schleife bei Volkach und die große Schleife über Ochsenfurt.

Kurze dritte Etappe. Weil Regen angesagt war und weil Bamberg einer der Gründe war, diese Reise zu machen. Die Route näher am Main als bisher und ausgesprochen flach. Seltsamerweise werde ich nicht schneller. Bin im Spazierfahrtmodus.

Zweiter Tag am Main und heute flacher. Der rote Main schließt sich dem weißen Main an. Es geht bei Sonnenschein durch die Mainaue, entlang der Bahn und über Felder, ohne große Höhepunkte. Zum Feierabend dann aber doch noch ein Highlight, (ohne Gepäck) den Staffelberg hoch.

After the last two warm days, today was a bit cooler. A strong headwind of 25 km/h again on the first half. A pretty nice route, though. Not spectacular, but a comfortable and quiet ride.
Showers were forecast, and they did come, but I took shelter under a bridge for lunch and again for a short time
