Neckartal Cycle Path near Tübingen

Highlight • Cycleway

Beautiful partly newly paved bike path, in places very narrow with oncoming traffic. You should also cut back the fronds of the bushes and trees that protrude into the bike path

The bike mechanic I trust had the idea of driving to the Waldbiergarten for a concert today when we took the e-bike in for repairs. Good idea. We arranged to meet in the evening at a place in the Neckar Valley where there were comfortable seats. I waited for him there. We then cycled to Tübingen together. My wife came …

If I were retired, almost every day would probably start like Sunday. A bike ride before breakfast, a swim in the lake (this time for almost 45 minutes), then a ride home and a delicious breakfast with the rolls I bought on the way. That's how a day can start. Wonderful!

As is almost usual, I had rolls from Tübingen again today. This time, however, from a different bakery. My bathing friend didn't show up, so I had to swim alone. It's only half as nice. It was quite chilly this morning, whereas the water was relatively warm.

Today my inner bastard ran out of excuses. I got up just after 7. Quietly, so that my weaker self doesn't wake up. When I was ready to leave, my weaker self noticed that 1. it was drizzling outside and 2. I didn't have the battery from the ebike with me. Satisfied, he went back into the house with me. …

Today it was warmer outside than in the water. I met a group of ice bathers and joined them. They had a thermometer with them. The water was 5°C. Brrrr

Finally riding a bike again. I didn't have any with me on the North Sea.
Even though it pissed the whole time, it was nice to be back on the saddle.
First I was alone in a long way, later I met a bunch of racing cyclists. Was really something going on.

Today, my inner demon woke me up and wanted to go for a walk. I was like, "Uh, you know it's raining outside, right?"

But he really wanted to go outside. If you have the luxury and your inner demon tells you to go outside, you just do it. It actually rained the whole time. It was definitely worth putting …

Today, for once, Johanna has a Saturday off. That's nice, of course, but it also means I won't get to ride my bike. So I let her sleep in and cycled to Tübingen early in the morning, before breakfast.

Later, we'll go hiking with friends.
