Lost the GPS signal twice again in the Steigerwald - it was 300 meters less, so more like 580 meters. Annoying, I guess I need a professional tool 😊?!

... as a start to the weekend. The paths were surprisingly dry and firm after the rain of the last few days. The surfaces of the new bike trails, on the other hand, are mushy and sticky.
