Funny you should say that because tonight I'm having a ham salad accompanied with chips/fries and lashings of Heinz salad cream.

Today, I'm recovering, since yesterday I had an extraordinarily beautiful and exhausting bicycle tour, amongst other highlights the so-called "Cherry-Blossoming Tour" at the small town of Hagen a.T.W. (not the bigger city of the same name in the Ruhr area). Extremely harsh climbings could not make you failing to be stunned by the beautiful sights and most idyllic places and romantic routes you stumble over time and again if you explore the area. Today, my legs are heavy and I am done, but it was worth it. Ten hours on the saddle, no longer breaks, just short stops to do some video shooting here or there, additional to the bike cam. Did I mention the steep climbs? Unfortunately, this secondary footage for the most went wrong. Too bad. Oh, the many steep climbs everywhwere. without an ebike I would feel lost, and even with engine it was very tiring because it was so long a tour. I drank like a horse, almost five litres.
Hagen is a centre of cherry seed preservation, a so-called gene ark. They have almost 300 different cherry types in the area and a storage base for the genetic material and seeds. Every second house in the town at least seems to have cherry trees. Unfortunately they all have white blossoms only - I saw not a single rose-coloured, not one. That was a bit dissapointing, I had expected some more sensation, I admit, since they acively advertise with their cherry thing. Also, most trees are very small only. So, while they are nice, the cherry trees alone are no reason to tour there, but the general sights of the area, the idyllic landscape in general is absolutely worth it. But you need to know the small, hidden routes for getting the best of it. Then it is like vacation in the deepest rural area of Bavaria. Beautiful. A certain part of the most idyllic place already is named like it: "Himmelreich", Kingdom of Heaven. It was my 30th or more tour into that place since last year, and although it is a relatively small area, I still am able to discover some routes and places I have not seen before although i spend hours and hours there. 150 km, climbs of over 15%. The joy came at a price. First time ever I killed both batteries down to zero not for calibration, but in normal operation. The last 4 kilometer home I drove totally dry. Of course, the wind had changed and I had it in my face (again). On a bike weighing 33kg with all stuff loaded. I do not recommend you to repeat that.

Sounds like a great place for a slow motorcycle ride / tour. Subsim member, Shroeder has talked about riding about the German country side on his motorcycle as well. With the spring here, It seems like a great way to spend the day. |

I've been plagued by sciatica for the past fortnight, then this afternoon I swallowed a couple of paracetamol and necked a bottle of "Old Crafty Hen".... and the pain just melted away. 4 hours since and I've still not got so much as a twinge, and it had been proper painful
This will be my treatment of choice from now on

From North to south, starting in Bad Iburg already From south the North And this trecking video shows some of the outlooks into the landscape. Quick-click the video for finding the sequences interesting if you do not want to watch the whole video, he ahs some good material. Its also in the area, and representative for what I talked of earlier. The place he is walking in is on the southern rim of the area talked about. "Malepartus" that he also mentions, is an original Bavarian style restaurant whrre you get only typical Bavarian "Brotzeiten" and typical Bavarian food, nothing else. And very big and very good cream puffs with ice fillings. "Malepartus" is a Bavarian word, or name, for "fox". Recommended time stamps: Beginning, 07:20

Did my weekly shopping then a spot of weeding followed by giving the grass a second cut and now cooking fish for lunch. And now the weather report - Dry with a gentle breeze sunny and warm.

I think the only answer I will ever be able to truthfully say is "Posting in this thread."

Summer must be fast approaching because the wife has instructed me to dust off the gas BBQ and take the garden furniture cushions out of storage in the garage.
