For this morning rain was announced, in the afternoon there should only be showers and that's exactly how it was. So I planned the latest possible start. At 11:00 am I started....

Petra: The day began just as it ended, uphill with pure sunshine. In between, there were a few smaller climbs and a lot of distance along the canal. A thunderstorm surprised us...

Besançon, first stage of our second trip in 2023

341/836 13 Col des Croix Sunday morning in France is unimaginable without croissant!!! After the French breakfast, it's time to pack and hit the road. The goal is to cross...

We left on time. After breakfast, in the room and packing the suitcase, and leaving the tip for the maid/the carpenter?! By the way, I should mention here that Karin leaves at...

Yes, I have made quite a bit of progress again. The question came up how many kilometers I ride. Somewhere between 70 and 130. Today I rode almost 130 and had magnificent...

Day 2 Etang de Moutiers Last night at 4:00 we woke up. Light sweat on the neck. The walk to the thermostat shows 22 degrees on setting level 1. It was -1 degree outside. Our...

After saying goodbye to our winemaker (of course not without taking another bottle of wine with us), we headed to the dreamy village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, from there to...

Heading to the vineyards today, although we would say... They are more like wine hills than mountains. Very beautiful landscape and when you leave the main roads, you often...

The first weeks with Philippe went by quite quickly. We mainly covered the new pizza oven with old tiles and extended the roof above it. We also made sure that there is always...

We say goodbye to Sundays. Today our paths separate. We plan to be at Alex's cousin's place near Günzburg on Tuesday evening and split the 900 km route. We want to make a stop...

Continue to our last stop: Beaune There is only one campsite here that does not accept ACSI. You can tell by the price. Instead of around 20 euros per night, it costs 40 here. ...
