Running my bike on a seasonal license plate for me the season does open on Apr, 1st. Now after 5 month of a break and all the cold and ugly winter weather you might imagine how keen I am ususaly to do the first few hundred kilometres.

Now this year it turned out perfectly. Starting with April the weather turned pleasant and all the weekend we had splendid conditions. Still somewhat fresh during the mornings, but lovely spring conditions during the day later on.

So last thursday evening I decided for the push bike to use. But after finishing all really necessary errands and jobs already friday evening and early saturday morning, all the time besides where "Suzi" time.

Leaving after luch on saturday I dod only 100Km running up and down one of my favorite bike tours here in the surroundings and headed after an ice cream to a school mate, I recently got in contact again after long 28 years we did not met one single time. It was pleasant and nice and we had coffee on their roof terrace out in the sun …. great.

And finally today and early this morning I joined a season opening tour organized by a guy offering guided motorbike tours and I once did make a website for. Not I would need a guide and to be honest I do not really like to rige in a bigger group as for the risk coming out of a gang of people always including a few going over their limits … you know?! Ambitions exceeded Abilities or so?

But today it worked out perfectly and without any hassle and it was pure fun riding up to 300Km and crossing the border to France several time. Should I mention the farmer steak with salad, french fries and heaps of garlic and later on a relaxed coffee and cake out in the sun as well?!

Hey, I rarely remember a more sunny and pleasant season opening like the one this year. Wishing more days like today to come! Thats tops!

Now it’s nothing really fancy doing things twice. I’m cleaning my teeth at least twice a day ….. :-/

And there also mistakes you can do twice! But at this point I’m referring to heading back to some special place you have been already and you are not be able to visit every day.

A few days ago I wrote about sparing something out as for a reason to return. In the actual case it is about the riding with famous "Maid of the Mist" at Niagara Falls.

I was already here in 2001 on a very hot and sunny summer day and the queue in front of the boat did tell me about I would have to wait for nearly two ours until I would a able to get on the boat ….

Today I’m back at Niagara Falls and did that ride!!! It’s a very special feeling and exciting for sure …. even I know some Canadians could do every weekend and at the end it is something rather touristy thingy.

Non the less feeling the power of the water falling down and getting wet by the mist was great. Doing things twice … Thats Tops!!

ps: There is a some cycling tour I did once with friends. And even I know that you can’t really repeat things, I’m keen to catch up soon again …. having more fun together.

It’s about time, gotta go, take care, speak soon …
