What people leave behind in the forest so carelessly 😡. I took the rubbish with me and disposed of it in a garbage can.

On Easter Sunday I took advantage of the good weather again and went on this tour with Tanja. Of course we passed the Helleberg restaurant where we took a short break.

Behind the lock on the steep piece in the forest, the front wheel suddenly slipped. With my darling. Ouch, but harmless, thank God. Ufff..😅

I drove the R1 to the Wahnhausen dam. It wasn't busy. It was quite crowded in the floodplain.
And no, there's no picture of the Orangery today 😃

Since at least one cell of my battery burned out on Easter Monday, the BMS (Battery Management System) always shuts down the battery. So tour with the trike without battery. That really pissed me off and I haven't had that much fun for a long time.
