Short standard ride after running errands...by bike, Ilm and ice cream. 😉 Unfortunately, there was trouble with the gears in the forest 😬, the chain came off, after an emergency repair it was rideable but not silent. I didn't do any more forest experiments after that, I'm back for now.

Yes, it's not warm yet - 3°-5° Celsius - but at least... the sun is peeking out in the east, so I want to go for some morning exercise. Only then comes breakfast 😁☕. And the whole thing with the new device, an inauguration round, so to speak; This can run along the Ilm, to Taubach and back.
