Today, right after finishing my only lecture of the day, I rented a longboard at a local skate shop
|
|
|
|
and then took the bus out of the city.
|
|
|
|
I went out to Kornelimünster, a small district of Aachen, about 10 km outside of the city.

In the last days it rained half of the day, but today it's sunny and really warm.
|
|
|
|
The route goes mostly downhill from Kornelimünster, so I did not need much pushing and could just let it roll.

I collected the route with an app.
|
|
|
|
The results: 10,9 km in 53 minutes. Top speed: 31,5 km/h. 12,4 km/h on average.

I was much quicker than I thought, so I got some ice cream in the city of Aachen before heading home.
