Expedition

I took the bicyle to the Deister in the morning. As I approached the mountains, the path got steeper. At Egestorf I entered the forest, and the last ~2 kilometers were too steep for me to ride the bicycle, so I pushed it instead. If not for those last ~2 kilometers, this would have been my longest bicycle expedition, but this way it is tied with 2020-04-05 52 10.

Eventually, I took a turn from the main path into a side path, and left the bicycle since it would make no sense to push it through the overgrown path. I reached the coordinates and recorded proof. After reaching the main path and getting back to my bicycle, it was time to ride it downhill. I rested at a bench next to a memorial and was grateful that I brought some food, since I was hungry, despite eating blackberries along the way which grow everywhere here. Riding the bicycle back home afterwards was a lot easier than the way there, since most of the way was downhill now.
