Today we met up with Dagmar and Hans quite spontaneously. We arranged to meet in Bocholt and wanted to cycle from there to Holland. I was supposed to take the lead. The motivation was great, the mood was good and the men set off straight away. The two of us followed. But a flat tire prevented me from doing so. What a bummer. We first had to "whistle" the men back. Then we thought for a moment about what could have happened. "Flatless tires 🤔" First we pumped up the tires and set off again. The first forest avenue was beautiful. We had to take a group photo first. Wonderful. After a short time we realized that a tube change was essential. With combined forces, Ralf and Hans managed it brilliantly. I held the bike and Dagmar was responsible for securing the path. We were a dream team. Now we could cycle on without a care in the world, from avenue to avenue in a beautiful landscape, pure nature. We stopped twice and also took a little detour through Winterswijk. I particularly liked Bredevoort. There are bookshelves all over the town. It's a shame we were in Holland and I don't speak Dutch. I wouldn't have been able to leave the town. Conclusion of the day: 1.We met two lovely Komootlers today and had a lot of fun together, we'd love to do it again 🤗 2.There are wonderful cycling routes in Holland👍 3.We cycle more often in Holland now 🇳🇱

First of all, the tour to the Netherlands was really great. Here, the journey is the destination. Beautiful scenery paired with wonderful nature and great paths. There was plenty of greenery, small (currently partially dry) streams, and a watermill to see. I found the original here: www.niederrhein-tourismus.de/tour/koffie-met-gebak-tour-tagestour-hohe-mark-radroute-c433cde999 It was supposed to stay dry from 12:30 p.m., so I got a new bike rack and installed it before setting off. It stayed dry until 1:00 p.m., then there was another heavy downpour. A few large, thick oak trees saved me. Around 2:00 p.m., some sun came out, and it warmed up nicely. I've clocked up about 4 kilometers more than the original tour. But it's due to a closure of the "fietspad" in the Netherlands and a construction site in Bocholt, where my sat nav and I lost our bearings. As I stood helplessly in front of the closure in the Netherlands, a detour wasn't signposted, a local cyclist suggested I follow his bike tracks in the sand, which would lead me back to my route. That worked well until I reached forest floor, where there were no more tracks. But from then on, my sat nav knew how to get back to my route. Despite that, the detour was still an additional highlight of the tour. I highly recommend it. Sorry for the long text. I wish you a nice week.

An absolute highlight tour through charming towns and along beautiful, varied, narrow paths. Climbing the tower of the Jacobskerk church in Winterswijk with its wonderful panoramic view is simply breathtaking! Information on opening hours and admission: www.jacobskerkwinterswijk.nl/

The two of us, dressed for autumn and with the optimism that the ☀️ would come out today, went from Bocholt via Barlo and the old railway line to Winterswijk. At the market the obligatory Patats with Frikandel and well fortified through the forest and fields towards Breedevort. But first we stopped at Theetuin Terass Krosenbrink. One of the most beautiful Rustpunt I have visited so far. And with complete self-service, an open cash register and clean toilets. So apple pie and coffee had to be had. ☕️🥧 We went via Bredevoort to the border and then went home again. And yes, the ☀️ also came out today!🚲🚲

Today I went on a bike tour through the Achterhoek to Winterswijk. First it went to Bredevoort and on through the beautiful landscape to Winterswijk and from there along the old railway line back to Bocholt.

It was a wonderful day to be together with almost all of our colleagues again. We ate well, enjoyed delicious drinks, and had a lot of fun. See you next time 😃

Had a very nice bike ride today. And arrived home dry .😉👍
