May 26, 2023,Sauerland Radring mit Hennesee Schleife ☕🚴

Super nice round, from the Meschede Bf car park.
Very nice route with plenty of rest stops and opportunities to eat and drink along the way.
Mostly on bike paths, and very few roads.

June 9, 2023,Gran Fondo Juni 💯 - Sauerlandradring mit HenneseeSchleife

I have to use today's bridging day for a ride on one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Germany: the Sauerlandradring. 😊 The additional Hennesee loop was used.
If you are "organic" on the road, I recommend that you only ride this version if you are in good physical condition. 🙈 With an e-bike and some experience in longer …

This morning, I spontaneously tackled the Sauerland Cycle Ring. And then, just as spontaneously, after Eslsohe, I turned left onto the Hennesee Loop (or Nordschleife)! I've always wanted to do that!!! 😎
It was a lot today, but "closing the education gap" is also important 😀😅

2. Stage 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ In the morning it was still grey and we had to ride with jackets! In Saalhausen there was a beautiful park... we waited out the short shower there! Beautiful cycle paths... partly on old railway lines... simply wonderful! Later the weather became really nice! At the Hennesee there is a staircase to heaven... 333 steps! It was …
