With humor and great stories, our tour guides took us back to Melsungen from Melsungen - Gensungen-Felsberg-Wolfershausen-Haldorf-Grifte-Edermünde-Guxhagen-Grebenau-Lobenhausen. The full moon then accompanied us from around 10 p.m. and the 4-hour tour with the still warm summer wind was wonderful. Many thanks to the 2 tour guides from the ADFC!

So first on the R1 to Guxhagen - on the way in Wagenfurth I bought some eggs in the farm shop - then from there to the new Eder cycle bridge, to Neuenbrunslar, to Felsberg, where we treated ourselves to an ice …

There's little time for cycling at the moment; the garden comes first. But today it was time again 😊
We needed eggs and arugula plants from Raiffeisen in Gensungen, so the R1 via Wagenfurth was a must! Overall, it was a nice ride. A lot of asphalt, but that couldn't be helped – there were a few "treats" along the …

March 25, 2024,Endlich wieder Rad fahren!

After it rained this morning, my mood was at its lowest point - no cycling again. 😜
But then it stopped raining and there was an alternation of clouds and sun. So take a quick turn. There was hard work everywhere:
There was rotor work in Beuerholz, the paths on the cycle path between Körle and Empfershausen were being repaired …
