Wie sich im Sommer mittlerweile etabliert hat, auch weil das Wirtshaus Ottobrunn nicht offen hat, haben wir am Abend unseres regulären Stammtisches eine kurze Radtour zu einer Gaststätte in der näheren Umgebung gemacht, diesmal das Tra di Noi am Golfplatz in Brunnthal (Kirchstockach). Angelika hatte eine schöne Route geplant, aber leider hat es bei Abfahrt … Read more
The day before was a rest day that we used to explore the Cloppenburg open air museum, which also hosted a craft fair that day, and watch ‘Glennkill’ at the cinema. The following pictures are Elke’s, they capture the day very well. That day remained dry, while my day cycling to Cloppenburg did not. It … Read more
We left our very golden hotel … … to look at the romanesque church and 1000 year old oak tree on our way out of Bassum. During a very windy day we were looking forward to cycling through the woods a bit, but that official bike path was an embarrassment – it was so muddy … Read more
Elsa and I are both early risers, but not quick starters, so we eventually left the nunnery at about 8:00 and had breakfast at a bakery en route. At first we followed a fruit tree themed route, that took us through beautiful villages. Our first break was in Rethem (Aller) where Elsa used to do … Read more
The morning started early, we had to retrieve the sheep before traffic started on the streets in Betzendorf. It all went really well, Elsa was well prepared, so we were back by 7:00. Then Elsa had to do a handover to her boss before she packed and we had breakfast. We were ready to leave … Read more
Cycling to the main station in Munich is in principle very easy, if it were not for the traffic. Got there in time to do a work call before boarding the train. They had halved the carriages available, so we were all quite cramped, but at least I had a seat, and my bike was … Read more
Das erste Mal ist die ADFC-Ortsgruppe Ottobrunn bei der Radlkultour vom ADFC Miesbach mitgeradelt – toll war’s! Einfach eine tolle Idee eine Radtour zu organisieren, bei der an den verschiedenen Stationen Kultur, vor allem Musik, Information, und was zu essen und trinken geboten sind. Eine Gruppe von zehn Radler*innen hat sich dann doch verhältnismäßig spontan … Read more
It was 10° colder and less sunny than I was led to expect when I was packing. Cold fingers were the result, and never feeling quite comfortably warm enough. The route was very nice in the beginning, I partially followed the ‘Rheinterassenweg’ and partially the Rhine bike path. Nice mixture of vineyards and river. Ass … Read more
After some family drama I could finally start after lunch. This is the first time I went up the hill in Wackernheim, very steep for quite a while. I was surprised, how well it went. I even got thumbs up from car drivers coming the other way, although they had to wait for me. At … Read more
Spent the morning learning at the Bauernkrieg’s exhibition in Memmingen and then started cycling towards Munich. We knew, we would not find another hotel room for a night due to the Oktoberfest- people were actually staying as far out as Memmingen. The weather was also rather damp, and mindful of time restrictions on the S-Bahn … Read more
