At least the weather was dry and I had things to do in Schorndorf. It was even sunny at times

Today my trusty MTB was dismantled as a spare parts warehouse😮‍💨
The repair costs would have been too high, the drive and brake system would have been completely worn out. Bikes with 8 series🫣probably ridden too many trails😁A replacement is already in the garage🤗

Cycled to Schorndorf to eat a kebab, there are nicer routes than along the B29, but after work this was just right

When pumping it up, the hose near the valve broke. Never had anything like that before. The valve was dead straight in the hole, so no shearing effect or anything like that, I have no idea how that worked.
I took the opportunity to drill out a more practical car valve🤗 I don't like the thin French valves.

After not finding what I was looking for in the garden center, I had to make a little detour to the hardware store😊

Sometimes no tour in one go: interrupted by gardening and errands, sometimes something different🤗 And it stayed dry too🫠
