A short after-work ride and getting something done at the same time. We're not satisfied with just 5 kilometers once you're on a donkey.
So, a ride around the Bautzen reservoir.

Today, just for fun, I rode one of my roads/gravel routes on my mountain bike. Surprisingly, I wasn't that much slower than with the gravel bike. I would have appreciated the difference more. Of course I also drove home, a total of about 30 km. But I didn't record the rest because of the heavy traffic at the reservoir.

The sun doesn't always have to shine.
1st tour in 2024, just go for it.
It was a quiet, relaxed tour, hardly any people on the way, and the route had a bit of everything.
Maybe you meet up on the road or even go on a tour together.
If you think now, anyone can do it with an e-bike …
