The weather forecast said to take it easy, drink plenty of water, and cool off. So I grabbed my things and set off.
From Herborn to Aartalsee. After walking around the lake once, I found a suitable spot. There weren't many people on the paths around the lake, so I found a spot in the shade and was alone there …

2nd day at local lakes...today the Aartalsee. The front dam is also very nice, this part is reserved for the landscape and the birds as a protected area. You can clearly see the low water level 😢. God bless my friend 🙏

14 degrees!

I had to get out. A few other people had the same idea, on foot or by bike.

The paths are often covered in water from the meadows, it will probably be fun to cycle there tomorrow when it gets warmer again.

Let's see what happens.

After a long time finally more cycling again. My health was impaired, now it's really starting again. Thank God 🙏 I was asked how can you ride a bike in the heat... the wind helps while riding and I don't ride like a lunatic but moderately and that's how it can be endured. God bless my friend 🙏

Back on the track with a new engine.
They say all good things come in threes. Let's hope that was the last engine change.

The weather was really gloomy this morning, didn't really suit my mood.

It was dry, with a few damp patches of fog drifting by, but it was still very easy to drive.

Today, a short loop from Burg to Aartalsee and back. Without the world-class goulash soup, though. It already felt like a Mast Sunday. It was basically a strawberry cake conversion tour, only without the strawberry cake. 😁

At first everything looked like it was going to be a sunny bike ride. But at the Aartalsee it started pouring rain. Warmed up briefly at grandma's and continued in the sun.
(Today is a movable holiday 😊)
