Today we went on a lovely tour through the Gailachtal and Möhrental with Iris, Birgit and Bernd, Erika and the two of us. The towns we cycled to were Mohnheim, Treuchtlingen, Weißenburg and Pappenheim.

There was a great variety of food and we chatted in all sorts of places and during the tour so that the time flew by.
