With feverish outdoor temperatures 🥵, (@Elke and I) chose the CreativQuartier Fürst Leopold in Dorsten this time.
As a prologue, as we are a bit too early, we do a small round of approx. 3km "around the block". Nothing more is possible in this heat.
The round leads us through the beautiful mining settlement

The stage destination of my Sunday tour yesterday was the Neuland Park in Leverkusen. It only started after 2 p.m. in Gruiten, continuing through Haan, SG Ohligs, Langenfeld-Wiescheid and Immigrath, past LEV-Opladen and Bürrig to the park. There I was initially surprised by some stone cyclists

For Whit Sunday, I thought I would visit the event location RheinRiff at the Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf-Lörick, to which my former employer had invited me to the annual company party. Since I hadn't been there before, I wanted to get a quick orientation and check the parking situation.
Then I put together

Cycling despite dreary weather? Yes, absolutely 🤗🤗The start was wet and so it remained for the first 11 kilometers of my little Sunday tour today 🌧️Afterwards, luckily, it only drizzled 😅But since I finally had time to cycle again, I couldn't let that stop me 😂
It started again in Gruiten, continued

Day two of my short trip to Noordwijk on 7.4.2026, during which I took the flower fields around Lisse and Hillegom for a ride 🚴♀️🤗.
Isolated fields of daffodils were still blooming, along with several fields of hyacinths and many fields of tulips, a colorful splendor 🫶 with an intoxicating scent

Arrival day of my short trip to Noordwijk. Start at the hotel, a short trip to the beach, then on to Katwijk and then via the magnificent dune cycle path towards Scheveningen and The Hague with sightseeing. I found both cities very impressive 🤩 On the way back, we went through the dunes again on a parallel

Sunday ride to the blue ribbon in Düsseldorf's Rheinpark. The route started in Gruiten, passing through Hilden, along the Menzelsee lake, and on through Benrath and Itter to Wersten. From there, it continued through Bilk and Friedrichstadt to the Rhine riverbank. As expected, the beautiful weather made

The first spring day of the year 🤩 The sun is shining brightly ☀️☀️☀️ So, off I go on my bike 🚴♀️. Since the local paths aren't quite dry yet, I'm heading a bit further afield on a route with mostly paved paths, starting in Soest 🏙️.
The route continues through Bad Sassendorf, Ostinghausen, and through

I usually long to be outdoors in nature 🍁🍂 especially with this glorious sunshine ☀️. But it was simply too cold for cycling 🥶. So I bundled up and set off for a walk through Düsseldorf 😍, including the Roncalli Christmas Market ✨️🎄✨️.
I think the city is phenomenal 🤩. Although I love exploring

Weihnachtsdorf Waldbreitbach ✨️🎄✨️
Hier auf Komoot entdeckt und schnell mal bei herrlichem Wetter besucht: das Weihnachtsdorf Waldbreitbach ✨️🎄✨️
Zunächst bin ich mit dem Fahrrad gestartet 🚴♀️ Leider musste ich meine ursprüngliche Tour wegen einer Straßensperrung umplanen und landete auch auf schlammigen und matschigen Wegen. Dennoch gab es auf den Höhen schöne Fernblicke 🤩…

We quickly took advantage of the beautiful weather ☀️ for a 🚴♀️ tour from Gruiten via ME Ost to Wülfrath, then on to Velbert Langenberg with its beautiful old town.

After the extra shift on Saturday evening 🎆, I first needed to rest a bit 😇 Then I decided to sweat it out outdoors 🚴♀️ rather than indoors 😓 and put together a little bike tour. As expected, the wind was wonderfully cool, but as soon as I stopped to drink or take photos, the sweat started running
