I would never have thought that Bavaria can be that flat but today the route was absolutely flat – or going a little downhill….what a great start into my way back to the North 🙂

Training trip onto the Einkorn
On Monday, I went to another bike shop in Nuremberg, just when they opened at 8 AM. Unfortunately, afterwards my bike was more broken than before since the Edgar (=navigation device) holder got broken in the process.

Nuremberg in pictures
Sinwell tower I decided to stay in Nuremberg one more day to actually see the sights of the city.
But since I wasn’t so fond of my hotel (door banging and shouting late in the evening, the broken shower head holder, a general weird feeling,…) I decided to move to another hotel. Breakfast was not included and so I headed over to the next hotel shortly after 8 AM.
There, I could leave my luggage and the bike and made my way on foot to the castle.I walked in the old castle ditch which could have been really nice since it’s green and in the shade but, unfortunately, there was a lot garbage lying around, I even watched a rat passing me quite relaxed in broad daylight and didn’t feel especially safe and secure….but as I mentioned, it was in the shade and not too hot yet – and I made it to the castle safely 🙂

From Rothenburg o.d.T. to Nuremberg
Initially, I wanted to use the title „Let it roll…“ for this post but along the way, I found out that even when a route looks rather flat on an elevation profile that doesn’t mean that the route is actually flat and even if it looks like going downhill, it doesn’t mean that it feels like it.

A little too much: Schwaebisch Hall to Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Today, I started my way back to the North.
For the first time, I felt more scared than thrilled, for no particular reason…or maybe I already sensed that I put a little much on my plate for the first day:

The heat is over, so the preparations can begin: excursion to Oehringen
I used the first cooler day to cycle to the small town Oehringen with it’s huge palace garden.

A beautiful day It was a beautiful day, the apple and plum trees are (almost) ready for harvesting and I enjoyed the time being out and about again. In the end, the „not so hot“ day, turned into „still pretty warm“ (around 26°C or maybe even a bit warmer) and I was quite happy to be home for a cool shower 🙂

Back in the water….my Total Immersion swim story
Summer time Today, I’m already two weeks back at my parents‘ place and the whole time it had been hot like the kind of summer everybody wishes for in wintertime 😉 Therefore, it was also too hot to continue my cycling adventure through Germany.
To keep me at least a little busy, I have some dentist’s appointments lined up with some repairs which were due anyway this year.
Last Tuesday, I had my root channel filling renewed and was more or less out of order for the following two days.
But on Saturday morning, I went to our lake around the corner, the Starkholzbacher See, with my parents and was instantly hooked again.

Four rivers in one day: Bad Mergentheim to Schwaebisch Hall
Another sunny summer’s day To be honest, I don’t remember much from the last stint of my „many-rivers-tour“:
I started off pretty early because the weather forecast promised another hot day.Initially, I planned after leaving the first little „river“ (it’s more like a stream), the Wachbach, to just cycle comfortably along the Tauber until Rothenburg ob der Tauber since I wanted to visit the city for a long time. There is a bit of a complicated story involved since Rothenburg used to be „our“ archenemy when our American Football teams were in the same league some years back. Therefore, I was in Rothenburg only once and only in the stadium to defeat the foe 😉

From Main to Tauber: Wuerzburg to Bad Mergentheim
After a hot day in the city of Wuerzburg, with visits to the residence and the stronghold, and some awesome food at the Brueckenbaeck, it was time for some work again.

Unfortunately, the club downstairs from the flat I was staying, held a Monday night party which lasted until 5 in the morning and which kept me from sleeping – and left me fuming – until 4 AM.
So, instead of an early refreshed start, I started late and sleep deprived into one of the hillier stints of my trip.
