One glance at the lake is enough for us to want to immerse ourselves in this deep silence. In a figurative sense, of course. So, get off, sit down, and simply let your senses wander.

A mega tour from RC Buer Westerholt. @Jochen 🚵🚴 mtb2️⃣grvl4️⃣ruhrgebiet and I did the 73 lap with 11 heaps. Well organized with great food at the start, along the way and at the finish. Repeat factor: very high. Took a quick soil sample twice. But that was my fault, not the route🙈. Everything went well and I survived unharmed🤟🏻
