Ride to Hattingen (90) 2 caches

im always amazed how much ground you can cover on a bike - i was lost before i knew it this morning - so i headed for the ruhr and was shocked to realize i had come so far east - went farther east to hattingen and crossed the ruhr -as i dont know roads here (yet) i went down a lot of dead end streets - and therefore i also climbed up a lot of dead end streets

in the end only 2 caches - and i saw a third but didnt want to try for it with so many muggles hanging about

home breakfast and like last sunday, the rain started - what a great reason to go for these sunday morning rides - to get my outdoor time in while i can - heike sent me for brötchen; not at the nearby gas station, no i had to bike UP to hinsel - exhausted when i got home

hopefully i can walk tomorrow

but to return my beginnning statement - i love riding through the constantly changing countryside here - farms and fields, woods and shaded lanes, the ruhr fields, old mining facilities - at one point i followed this path HACKED from one big field through brambles and holly which led to a ... another field

stared up at a cache in the middle of a cliff - a good reason to learn to climb?

a great work out (90) bike to hattingen
