It was time for another family reunion. Since we haven't had much time to cycle lately, the car stayed in the garage and the bikes were the order of the day. We packed salads and ice packs in an insulated bag so the summer heat wouldn't harm the food.

Nice and relaxed round to drive to the family park in Sotrum and a detour to the rest forest Holle. The climb to Listringen is really tough. The rest is really relaxed

The first bike tour of 2024 in great weather. There was already a lot going on on the route. In the towns on the innermost side you could still see the last sandbags from the December flood.
