From Sayn to Isenburg 7 km moderate ascent or descent on the best asphalt and with beautiful surroundings. However, relatively wide street with corresponding traffic.

December 26, 2024,Weihnachtsrunde 🧑‍🎄 mit dem RR

In the best weather ☀️☀️ on the racing bike through the Westerwald, it was cold but with sunshine and almost no wind it was a pleasure.

Fortunately, it should stay nice for …

At the end the battery was empty and I was …
