November 1, 2025,Runde um den Alfsee

After the Thülsfeld Dam and the Geeste Reservoir, Lake Alfsee was the third stop of the day as part of the Iron Lake Challenge Lower Saxony. My legs were already a bit heavy, the weather was changeable like autumn, but in the end it was a nice ride and I achieved my goal for the day 😊
