Let's go, prelude to this year's city cycling at "Jedem Sayn Tal". Once down the entire route and up again. Let's see if the knee is fit again after the operation and can hold out. I'm not in shape yet, but I'll be working on that over the next few weeks. I'm happy for that.

That's how it worked, right... if other cyclists could follow simple rules, it would be nice to be together. I drove from Selters to Isenburg, to Selters to Breitenau to Oberhaid 52 km, I wanted to see the 1000 km on the speedometer, it worked! The cell phone battery was empty after 36 km 🤷‍♀️

Today we are going to the car-free event

'Every Sayn Valley'.

The best weather and a really beautiful valley invite you to go biking.

Many catering and refreshment posts invite you to linger, but we pulled through almost completely and we were in Selters in no time at all.

Now bisle freestyle to the lake and back to the valley.
