June 9, 2025,Korridor überm Königsdorfer Forst - Blick nach Köln

🌧️ ☀️ Rain ☀️ 🌧️ Sun 🌧️ ☀️
Planned "elsewhere" tours postponed until "another time"
The weather apps weren't that reliable, but we still located a sunny corridor near Cologne-Pulheim on Whitsun Sunday evening and quickly found a route to follow.
Although everything was fine everywhere on the morning of our start, we still rode into the less hilly outskirts …

July 9, 2024,MTB-Tour - zur, auf und um die Glessener Höhe

With this 🌞 and 😰 weather today, I'm out and about again with the Bio 🚵‍♂️.
And every time I went "downhill" I asked myself why I had previously struggled "uphill" 🤷‍♂️😊.

October 24, 2023,MTB Tour, Morgenstund' hat Gold im Mund 😌😁

It was nice to finally have no rain in sight. So get out early and get on your bike. A little fresh at the beginning but that's good too. The whole tour was rewarded on the top plateau, at 204m at the summit cross, not only by the panoramic view but also by the visit of several deer who stopped …

January 26, 2025,Sonntagsrunde - Megamatsch

33 km of the finest mud at +2 to 0 degrees.
You have to like it and you can't have a nice chat.
It's good that we have a garden hose.
Thanks @Miri wandert ♥️ for the basic cleaning. 😉

July 11, 2023,Mountainbike-Tour quer durch den Wald mit ein paar kleinen Trails

I drove this tour today. It used to be fun to be a bit faster on the road and then to ride the short but crisp trails. However, my recording let me down again, so I entered the route directly. 🤞
It went almost exclusively through the forest, always long climbs and brisk descents. Fun factor guaranteed

June 6, 2024,Rehkitz-Tour

Another great after-work tour.
But this time with a very special experience. A tiny fawn in the tall grass right next to the path.
Sooooo beautiful.
And this time the tour was very deer-heavy anyway. There were a total of five deer along the way.
And of course another summit. THE summit - Glessener Höhe. ⛰️
