Shanghai 🇨🇳 - Cologne 🇩🇪
I am not chasing speed records, but rather enjoy the outdoors and discovering new places and sights on the way.


Started cycling in 2020 on a touring bike, just to get out and enjoy the sun and the outdoors. As the frequency and distance increased I changed to a hybrid bike, and then to a road (endurance) bike.

It's supposed to get hot again today. And cycling in the midday or afternoon heat isn't really my thing. So I set off early this morning and enjoyed the forests around Bleibtreusee, Franziskussee, Obersee, Donatussee, Villenhofer Maar, and Heider Bergsee. It's a few degrees cooler in the forests. I had

We didn't plan the visit to Riga around these dates for these festivities. We just wanted to escape the heat in Cologne. But ended up lucky and having the chance to enjoy a beer, some dancing, praying to some Pagan gods and lighting the fire 😎

Happy Midsummer!

Taking the train for a 30 minute ride to Jurmala. And its beach at the Baltic Sea.

Cute little town. Jomqs Street is what you expect for a tourist beach town, but enjoyable nonetheless. And the beach stretches forever: fine white sand, cafes and beach bars. Easy to spend a fun and/or relaxing time here.

And it was a great decision. Riga is a beautiful old Hanse-Town and large oarts if the ild town have been restored.

Went out for a random walk after breakfast and before our guided introduction tour ... and ended up almost doing the same route twice 🤭

An early Sunday morning round around Berrenrath - before breakfast. On forest and field paths, and with some muddy and slippery sections. And even though I had to wash the bike afterwards... it was fun :-)

We wanted summer. Now we have summer. But we didn't want that much summer... we took a walk around the Liblarer See in the morning, before the sun and the heat spoiled the enjoyment of it.

Had hoped for dry roads, but got my hopes crushed when I looked out of the window. Roads were still wet from the rain last night, and once I was outside I also noticed a light drizzle. But I was already up and out, so I went for an urban ride.

Went zig-zag through the city ... and collected 54 more squadratinhos.

Had long discussions with friends about a ride today. Couldn't decide which route to take: Fake England, or canals, or airport, or ...

Then they cancelled for today. So i set off alone.



I loaded a route along HQP, around Sheshan to Fake England. But i ended up going half way around the airport, then decided

Headed out west on Taopu and Longnan Road. Tried a new twist under the train tracks and shortly after joined Caoan Highway all the way to Anting.

In Anting I was about to turn onto Boyuan Road, my intention was to ride it all the way, when I noticed that this was not the start/end of the road yet. Had

With the new tire on my Fastroad, the sun shining, the temperatures quite comfortable, and a time window in today's schedule ... I just had to seize the opportunity. Go out! Go cycling!

Nothing terribly interesting, challenging or spectacular, but a good ride along a couple of new roads. And feeling good :-)
