After two months of holiday from the first half of my cycling adventure, I started a separate stint to also tick-off Hessia from my list of federal German states.
Note: since my phone gave up saving my tracks reliably and I also didn’t have internet access during most of the trip, I’m using gps tracks from tourist websites.

Today I cycled my old training route from Schwaebisch Hall via Gaildorf and the old coal road to the Einkorn back home.

Thursday was another holiday and another predicted hot day with thunderstorms and heavy rains predicted for later in the day. Consequence for me: another early start. This time I was on the road already at 7 AM!!! and it was already warm.
Since it was a holiday, almost nobody was on the streets and I found my way easily out of Heilbronn.
I knew the whole route would be hilly, no matter which of the options I took , so I prepared myself for some long slow climbs.
