The headwind thwarted my plans to ride my annual 100 km tour today. I'm pretty disappointed, especially because I started with a lot of motivation and in the best weather. I only got as far as Bingen - so only 66 km far - but was so exhausted as if I had covered more than 80 km. I simply wouldn't …

This morning it rains continuously and I have to dig out my rain pants for the first time on this tour. At noon we find a dry seat in a pavilion. The wind picks up and lo and behold, it blows the rain clouds away. As we continue, a strong tailwind pushes us on, so that we reach Bingen at …

Very nice ride along the Rhine, good paths tarred or paved with picnic areas, parks and street cafes to linger and relax, behind Rhens there is a fountain with cool drinking water at the Rhenser factory - many thanks to the factory
The trip is highly recommended, although the return trip was a bit strenuous due to strong headwinds.

July 5, 2024,1 Rheinradweg Bingen - Koblenz

This is probably the most beautiful section of the Rhine, I've already walked the Rheinsteig there. I was curious to see what the cycle path would be like, apart from the fact that the path often runs alongside a federal highway, the area with the Loreley, the many castles and the nice towns is really impressive.
