Friedensdorf to Marburg by bike

After the success of yesterday's ride I managed to talk Barry into taking the train up the river Lahn to a little town called Friedensdorf.  Lesson #2.  The train doesn't stop at all the stops.  If you don't want to bike further than you intended make sure you tell the train driver!

Actually we had no problems.  There was a quick sort out with other people taking bikes onto the train to see who was getting off first and then we were off on a slow half hour ride up valley.
Not quite such nice weather as yesterday with dark clouds around but it wasn't cold and it never rained.

It was a 3 hour easy ride back to Marburg (about 25km) - I love the little towns, the yellow fields of canola, the rolling country side with lots of trees and green fields and the dedicated bike trail through it all.

The ride back up the hill after a quick trip to the supermarket was a bit of a gut buster though!!!
