August 13, 2022,Vollmondtour

With humor and great stories, our tour guides took us back to Melsungen from Melsungen - Gensungen-Felsberg-Wolfershausen-Haldorf-Grifte-Edermünde-Guxhagen-Grebenau-Lobenhausen. The full moon then accompanied us from around 10 p.m. and the 4-hour tour with the still warm summer wind was wonderful. Many thanks to the 2 tour guides from the ADFC!

There's little time for cycling at the moment; the garden comes first. But today it was time again 😊
We needed eggs and arugula plants from Raiffeisen in Gensungen, so the R1 via Wagenfurth was a must! Overall, it was a nice ride. A lot of asphalt, but that couldn't be helped – there were a few "treats" along the …
