Essen, NRW (02.-12.05.2022)
Nordrhein-Westfalen
Following Father Rhine: From Bruehl to Remagen
Schloss Drachenburg
Today I started my trip with the two new items I bought in Cologne the day before yesterday: my new rain jacket and my new drinking bottle. And also my new tire which I didn’t photograph 😉
Back in my old “hood”: Single track turn in Bruehl
Finally on a single track again :)
Today was another highlight of my tour:
Finally some cycling in the Ville forest where I (almost) started my cycling “career”.
Sunny cycling to the Rhine: Essen to Neuss

Although I love Essen and everything seemed to go so well, again I got lost shortly after I found the first promising sign pointing to my first destination “Werden”. I even circled back to the sign and tried again but not a chance to find the follow-up sign. So I decided to cycle to Werden according to my phone, again missing one of those “wonderful” cycle routes.
According to the month: quite mixed – From Minden to Bielefeld
Today, I cycled from Minden to the city that doesn’t exist: Bielefeld.
If you are not familiar with the Bielefeld conspiracy, you should look it up on Wikipedia 😉
Apparently, it does exist although I didn’t see any city limit signs, so this all might be a fake anyway 😉
Not a fake is that I (probably) forgot to switch on the app in the morning, so there are two routes today: One from Minden to Bad Oeynhausen and one from Bad Oeynhausen to Bielefeld.
Due to the bad weather (in the beginning) and the unexpected appearance of advanced challenges (hills), I did take close to no pictures.
