If you have something ringing in the term "Rhön" - probably it's because you've already heard something about the Rhönrad. By the way, that does not really have anything to …

Drove along the Brend again today, the paths were now drier than last week. So I tried the short trail in the forest towards Burgwallbach. Unfortunately it was still too wet. This time I also had more time, so I was able to drive to Bischofsheim. But I noticed the last two day tours to Kön and KG were still …

Today we only went along the Brend. The way there led over field, forest and meadow paths. In places they were still pretty wet. The way back then led over the boring Brendtalradweg, but since I still want to do hip hop later anyway, it was OK to move forward quickly... 😉

After 4,150 km the bike got a new rear tyre, a new chain and new front and rear brake pads.

On the way it went off-road again, so the new tire could show what it's capable of... 😉.

We then went back over the bike path, here the brakes were braked... 😉

The chain also clicks in nicely...😉

Running... 😆

Today the choice was difficult... Christmas market or back on the bike? It was already tingling in my feet and hands... In addition, it was dry today - that is, from above and the sun was shining - well a bit... So I decided to combine the two.
The tour began along one of my favorite paths along the Brend. …

So, now that the new pedals and the bottle holder were installed, I naturally wanted to break them in after work. The weather was just nice, but the next rain shower was already in the starting blocks. So I thought to myself, this will only be a short tour anyway and I'll drive around the Neuscht... First we went along …

Unfortunately we got out of work late, so we went to the Gemündener Hütte at pug speed.

On the way home it was already getting dark again, so we had to pick up the pace again...

Actually, I wanted to continue from Bischofsheim to Oberelsbach and then back to Neuscht ... Unfortunately, an approaching thunderstorm over Kreuzberg made a big dash for me ... 😤So it was partly pouring rain back home on the same way. .. 🤷‍♂️ And here the sun is shining ☀ ...

If you are ever in the vicinity, you should of course drive up to the holy mountain of Franconia🚴🏽‍♂️The stop at the Gemündener Hütte really fitted in with this very beautiful and varied tour👍
