Looking out my attic window in Germany I decided to go for a bike ride

A few photos from that ride, these are memories that feel good; the weather was wonderful.













My bike rides were soothing and exhilarating. The city I was in was flat as a pancake and I felt as if I were riding like the wind.
Since coming home I had my own bike overhauled, and I’m back on it. But it’s hilly and way more difficult.

These are glorious pictures! I don't even notice how flat the landscape is since there are so many wonderful details to look at.

I'm glad you're home now...

It's good that I feel comfortable in Germany and can enjoy the beauty, but there's no place like home.

I've been doing some bike riding for the first time in decades. Really a lot of fun. Thankfully our hills are limited.

Thanks for sharing!

I was still looking for Julie Andrews and the von Trapp family singers to appear at any moment.
Beautiful photos - thanks for posting.
