April 20, 2024,never give up

A nice, relaxed trip with a great group to Wannsee with lots of sunshine. At the end we cooled off with a dip in the Heiliger See💦

Kicking sticks like a soccer player during dribbling practice—there's plenty to do after the stormy days in the woods. ☝️Note to self: don't forget the saw on your next mountain bike tour. There's definitely plenty to do again😅.
