Bicycle Tour 7/6 - by Kyle Shropshire

Bicycle Tour 7/6

For our second to last day in Bargteheide we went on a bicycle tour with a teacher at the KGB, Herr Nagel. We met at the school around 8 with our bikes and departed soon after. We headed down Jersbek Strasse towards the small town of Jersbek, and traveled mostly along sidewalk. Soon after entering Jersbek we took a left down a dirt road and began the scenic portion of the bike ride. We rode on an old horse path for a few kilometers and eventually had to travel single file due to the cramped space. We eventually left Jersbek and entered Wohldorf-Ohlstedt, an even smaller town. We made our way towards the rest area up a long slightly inclined hill. After reaching our destination we parked our bikes and had a snack under a light rain.

After about 30 minutes we started our return journey, traveling in a circle towards the main road that would take us back to Bargteheide. Once more we entered Jersbek and traveled the four kilometers back into town. Upon reaching Bargteheide we enjoyed ice-cream that was bought for us by the Bargteheide school teachers. Our journey was long and tiresome, but interesting and fun. We had a few crashes, but we all came back in one piece.
