From Ahl the path is closed (as of 2022) but you can see an extended tramp ride past the barrier. I have no idea why that is there

Tuesday evening tour over the Eselsweg with trees lying across the back behind Alsberg and Orber border. Graduation from Irmgard in the Bauernschänke as always 👍.

Tonight we had two failures: first, Jürgens Cube's rear derailleur broke off in Eselsweg and later Martin's freewheel gave up, so we supported him by pushing from Bad Soden-Salmünster to Steinau. But the conclusion at the Irmgard (Bauernschänke Steinau) was all the more intense and especially today much louder than usual...🙉🍻🍗

This evening the group was well-staffed! 👍 We went via Seidenroth to Alsberg and via the Eselsweg to the Merneser Heiligen and then on towards Markberg to the Sölchesweiher. We rode along the Orber border to the so-called Orber Kuppentrail, which leads to Salmünster in the direction of Hirschbach! We then rode down the Hirschbach trails. However! There was something …

This evening we drove with 11 drivers via Seidenroth, Alsberg via the Markberg to the Wegscheide. Afterwards, the riders were allowed to ride their bikes down the Haseltal Trail (Flowtrail Bad Orb) and show what they're capable of. 🤣 Nice Tuesday tour! 👍

My first Tuesday tour, without Roland, left me feeling a bit uneasy. But it was nice that so many people were there. It was a very nice tour, with wonderful weather.
Roland would have certainly enjoyed it, too. We even raised a glass of spruce (Andreas) to him!

Today we went from Steinau via the Hirschbornteiche to Alsberg, via the Eselsweg to the Sölchesweiher and the Orber Grenzweg. The entire tour is signposted with the number 9. You should be able to ride trails, from about halfway along the route it gets really tough and it is quite narrow downhill. Great tour, we had fun. At the end …

Today the five of us did a nice Maundy Thursday tour over the Eselsweg Alsberg, Merneser Heiligen, Sölchesweiher to the Orber border and then made the 16! From the 16th we drove up to the Wegscheide and the Wintersbergtrail. Was very nice!

I wish all friends and acquaintances as well as all Komootler happy Easter holidays!
