My New Morning Pre-Ride

I thought I would bring along my camera with me during this morning's pre-ride. It was cold and snowing, so I rode to the Rhein on my cross bike and headed north into the heart of Köln.

Here's the temp at around 5:30am



One of the many Bäckerei in Rodenkirchen. Unfortunately, the camera couldn't capture the aroma.



On the Rhein. Snow flakes, the river, and some trains in the distance.



Today's News



The riding/running/walking path inbetween the river and the city



Not a bad place to turn around and head home. This is the "Dom", one of Europe's most famous gothic cathedrals. It's approximately 8km from my apt.





The Rhein



Back in Rodenkirchen and on the Hauptstraße a couple of KMs from my apt. This is my new Washington Ave. on my weekday morning rides.









Bis später

  1. Tim - You've inspired me. Please look for "Riding on the Mon". I can't wait to post pictures of Route 51 and the beautiful scenery as I ride besides the railroad tracks on Josephine Street!
