December 16, 2023,🚲 Weihnachtsbaum mal anders und Besuch beim neuen Rad

I got my “old” bike out of the inspection today and immediately visited the new one again and test-rode it to see if anything needed to be adjusted. A different handlebar is needed
Afterwards we added a few more kilometers because the weather held up and not a wet drop fell from the sky.

Where Emperor Wilhelm keeps his faithful watch, where people drink their half-liters in two gulps, that is my homeland, that is where I feel at home.
Today I took advantage of the beautiful spring weather once again.

May 29, 2023,Weserradweg 2 von Rinteln zur Porta Westfalica

Start from Rinteln towards Eisbergen. In addition to a rather bad signage, we also went along a main road without a separate cycle path. Here you are a bit disoriented, but from this section it becomes safer and more beautiful. The highlight, however, was the ascent to the Kaiser Wilhelm monument, the beautiful view and the restoration. Really all very …

First longer ride in the new year.
Finally some sun but shivering cold.
A quick trip to my trusted workshop and visited the new bike. Finally everything is finished and it can be picked up.
Unfortunately, many cycle paths along the Weser are still flooded and the cycle path is still impassable in parts.
What she left behind still needs …

June 10, 2025,Weser-Tour Teil 3: Hessisch-Oldendorf bis Minden

A more road-oriented section of the Weser Cycle Route. The blue sky was missing. The Weserbogen area—actually a highlight just before Minden—was muddy. The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial (Porta Westfalica) defied the gray clouds.
