Taking every opportunity that I get.
Planned for an easy pavement/gravel ride with a riverside chillax at the halfway, but I have a navigation problem in my brain. I can't ride past a trail.
Although the bike can handle smooth singletrack, it isn't happy with ruts and mud pits. Gets downright terrifying on roots, rocks, and technical stuff.
^4 or 5 groups at this spot with photographers; couples, families, pets, babies... and one lunatic taking pictures of a battered old bike
Did I mention that it devours gravel? Speeding through this was absolute heaven.
A short autumn tour in unexpectedly beautiful weather. The vineyards are colourful, the Riesling tastes delicious, and the beer at the observation tower is a reward for the steep climb.
Cheers!
