May 9, 2024,Vatertagsrunde um die Leipziger Seen... 🏖☀️
...was supposed to be a family round, but the rest of the group wanted to "dally around" a bit! That wasn't really my thing...so dad abseiled off and did a single round... 😁🍻

It couldn't have been more beautiful. Sunday's bike tour 🚴🏻‍♂️ around 4 lakes in Leipzig's New Lake District🌊🌞😎.
Thank you @R🟡nny〽️ for your encouragement for this super nice tour. It was a few more "kilometres" but it's still quite easy to cycle around the lakes. With my "pain therapy" well adjusted, I can manage the
bike tour 🚴🏻‍♂️✅️ even with …

Very nice, relaxed tour - great to drive - you don't just have to take the asphalt - there are wonderful paths along the water, ideal for MTB 😃🚵 - by the way, my Petra couldn't manage the huge portion of currywurst 😉

We started with 23°C sunshine, then it became more and more hazy, but it remained …

Moved into the Leipziger Neuseenland with the Bio's today, rode a little bike, had a nice barbecue in between and enjoyed the weather!
