Shopping trip - new bicycle helmets were due, among other things. They should be replaced after 5 years. The date of manufacture can be read on the inside of the helmet, if not, the helmet is much older than 5 years.
The many fittings were definitely more exhausting than the bike tour.
The signage on the cycle paths leaves a …

February 23, 2025,Saarbrücken - Saarlouis🔄🌤️☀️

Short afternoon trip with G🧒 to Saarlouis for coffee and 🍰. The cycle path between Saarbrücken and Lisdorf, which was newly asphalted last year, is super smooth. Really well done with central reservations in the bends. From Saarlouis to Dillingen, work on expanding the cycle path will probably continue until April/May. But then the negative: unnecessary diversion signs are still …

Today I was out and about again with my steel donkey in this beautiful weather.

Today's tour began from the Völklingen harbor in the direction of Differten - Überherrn - Saarlouis Beaumarais and then back.
The advantage of such a tour is that you don't have to look long for rest options. 😇

Today, a little picture puzzle as the title 😂. The answer is at the end!

Since the weather was rather dreary again—but at least dry—I didn't plan anything special.

No highlights 💥,
no amazing views 🔭,
nothing ❌.

Instead, more of a "work trip 🧑‍🔧🚴."

Today I combined different bike tours. Starting with the Saar, Bisttal, Teufelsburg, Saarlouiser rounds, and so that I can collect enough km, I've added part of the Bous round. From the Rochling height I cycled through Völklingen to get back to the Saar cycle path. The worst stretch was the Bouser Runde.
