    Runde war ok. Leider bei 8,2km an die Seseke war ein geschlossener Zaun von 1,5 Metern Höhe. Die einzige Möglichkeit war, darüber zu klettern.

    Angenehmer Mix aus Natur(schutzgebiet), Kanal und spannendem Industriegebiet. Samstags als verlängerten Spaziergang gemacht - es fand gerade eine Trauung in der Schlossmühle statt und es war Segelflugbetrieb. Statt über das Flugfeld zu gehen, gibt es einen Weg am Rand, entlang der Kleingärten. Mit Dank!

    Eine super Runde die uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht und uns an tolle Orte geführt hat. Das Höhenprofil ist auch für Anfänger ohne E-Bike locker zu bewältigen. Diese Tour ist wirklich sehr empfehlenswert und auch wir sind sie sicher nicht das letzte Mal gefahren. Ein wirklicher Geheimtipp auf der Strecke ist das Café Lüntec in Lünen, der Kuchen ist einfach sensationell.
