The great bike tour day 8: Greater Munich

My sister is conscientious and hardworking, not like a "careless Christ Child with fleas in its bottom" (our mother's words). At 8:00 am, she turns on the computer and starts her home office work.

I spread out all the objects I have on the floor again, maybe I can still find something I can do without or don't want. The yield is not really productive, a t-shirt, an expander, the wide-brimmed and therefore voluminous sunhat. I don't want to do without the reading book as much as the tent & cooker & sleeping bag, it would make a lot of difference in terms of weight and volume of course.

Today I'm using a handlebar-mounted navigation system for the first time. On one hand it's great because you don't have to worry about the maze of the Munich city jungle and on the other hand it's pretty stupid because I just look at the display and no longer to the left and right.

The navigation system leads me through Pasing. There I buy a spelt-hemp pretzel - without THC, as a large sign assures, because I'm in hipster Munich. Actually a pity. It takes a while until I'm in the Isar Valley, Munich is big. And the Grosshadern hospital is no less ugly than the Höchst hospital.

In Grünwald in the Isar Valley I first have an earworm from "Yes, that's how the old knights were". The view from the high bank is nice, as is the descent from Hohenschäftlarn down to the monastery: a speed limit of 40 is allowed, my fully packed bike easily manages that.

In Wolfratshausen there is a tiny bike shop right on the way. This is the opportunity to get pedals with more tread, my old ones are smooth and very slippery when wet. The bike shop owner is unloading firewood from a truck trailer. He interrupts briefly and not even 5 minutes later, I have "proper" pedals.
