Okay, because I have it now the last few days with the write a bit drag, but the tours were all not so new, but for me known ways. On the one hand, it went to Mannheim, my old weekend commute long and back. On the other, to Stuttgart and back, to bring the bike to the inspection. And then it is currently so that no matter where I look work lies. Today I only have a short time in the morning, then I have to be in Frankfurt all day. Further education. The day after tomorrow it will be similar, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, then it will go from left to right the whole day. In my life nothing remains as it was, much in motion, some things are already fixed, meanwhile, others still not. Anyway, this is about cycling and not about how empty the job market is right now (I will come back to this in due course). So first Mannheim. 95 km there, briefly soup slurp in the Amas (insider tip) with Sabrina, Toscana country bread in the Tans (insider tip) get and then back 95 km. Unbelievable, I can not remember the names of freshly introduced people, which can lead to absurd scenes in job interviews, there you sit in front of 3 people (just introduced), glasses forgotten, so you can not read the name tags, and can no longer address people by name, but 95 km route that you drove a year ago a few times, you find again without hesitation. So from home to Mannheim in well under 4 hours, back the same. Nice! It was also nice to see Sabrina again, now a teacher at a vocational school, so you can do that too. But teacher? Nothing for me, sorry. How I hated school (for that I have long sat at the school desk). When I was growing up, with a spelling disability, you were labeled as stupid, that was it. Secondary school, special school, stupid, shut up, "You also need good secondary school students" was once said about me. In the 4th grade there was something like orientation exams in math and German, I knew that I suck in spelling, so I just wrote down the math results on the sheet of paper, calculated everything in my head, wanted to do particularly well. The result? Got, although everything right, the grade B, can not be that someone who is so stupid does everything right, it must have written off, my parents have accepted of course so. Of course, the idiot is too stupid to write, so he is to stupid for everything. Everything was better in the past. Fortunately, there are today the correction aids on the computer, is like visual impairment and glasses, what the people who have seen badly probably did in the past? How were they stigmatized? Well, I can understand it, at least a little bit. So teacher, was also suggested to me quite often, mostly by people who think they are super smart, every time I get a shiver. Do you stand at the blackboard, without correction help, oh no, I no some of my limits. Well, for Sabrina that seems to be the right thing to do, at least she makes no secret of the fact that she is lazy and does it because of the vacations. But also the other teachers in the circle of acquaintances that I know, that is such a special kind of people, think they are God's last wisdom and like to say where the hare runs and are so busy, everything is so exhausting, okay is "part of the job" (also the whining), but actually they are just hopelessly hopeless. So what there all became teacher after graduation, so not the most dedicated or best, rather the mentally limited and strick lazy, but all know-it-all (I mentioned that I do not like teachers?). There were exceptions, greetings to Sabrina, Denis & Kolja. So and then there was the tour to Stuttgart. Just under 200 km there, first along the Main, then via Amorbach to Heilbronn via the Odenwald, very very nice. Then not along the Neckar but the straight way. Was so about 19 o'clock there, I left at 9 o'clock in the morning, took a few breaks because of the heat, I was quite satisfied with. Then the next day the inspection, ran quite well after 2500 km (will still follow ne review about the bike), was not much, so still enough time to drive around in Stuttgart and again a fixie test drive (Did I mention that the coming stage of life with the heading suits & bikes runs? No? Well, then now). So a single speed is still missing, is good for`s commute to get to work by bike. Ah Stuttgart, i miss it. Fragola, Karlshöhe, Hasenbergsteige, Onkle Ottos, my Alma Matar (still triggers nausea), Bärenseen, old workplaces, MG Fitness, Alte Weinsteige, Wernhaldenpark, Schimmelhüttenweg, Heslacher Klingen and Schwälbesklinge, Bärlauchwald, Dachswald, Santiago de Chile platform, Bosch Areal and Cinemaxx, Heslacher Wand and of course the Monte Scherbelino. All this in one day, was taff. Who is ever in Stuttgart, that's a good list to visit, all insider tips. The next day then back, wanted to try a new way. The first 2 hours I stood around more at traffic lights than I came to drive. Then in the Heilbronn district, so really, the people there really can not drive, really not, they not only talk funny, they are also behind the wheel untalented. Then at some point through the Kraichgau, at least there are better bike paths here, Mr Hopps money makes it possible, the Hoffenheim posters with reference to season tickets then also trigger nausea. If you can't fill up your small stadium even with free tickets, maybe you should put up cardboard stand-ups, they won't talk back and you don't have to hurt them with sound cannons. Then finally into the upper Neckar valley, it is so beautiful there. I came to the Neckar in Neckargmünd, I saw Dilsberg on the right (and had tears in my eyes). Really beautiful there. Then to Heidelberg, Everywhere you know the paths, know how beautiful it is here and there and have no time to drive along there. Past the Königsstuhl, the castle, the Philosophenweg, to Handschuhsheim, Dossenheim, leave the driveway to the White Stone and the Schauenburg, Schriesheim (Strahlenburg) to Weinheim, without going through the Exotenwald, or up the Gorxheimer valley, further towards the Bergstrasse. My heart bled, so beautiful there. On the left was Mannheim, okay there I was just a few days before, is now also not so great there. The days I have to go back to Heidelberg, Ziegelhausen, Wilhelmsfeld, Heiligenkreuzsteinach, Hirschhorn.....ach longing. My Navi wanted to show me necessarily the bicycle highway Darmstadt - Frankfurt. Well we have now times made, was a detour, was also flat and could no longer drive really fast, has not been worth it, but good that there is such a thing. Remembered for the future. At some point I was at home. So, unfortunately, I have to shower now and then go, in this sense have a nice day.
