I didn't expect that today. When I started, everything was still overcast and cloudy. In Ronneburg on the Bugagelände then the super beautiful sunset. 😃

Thank you, Ralph, for 1,439 km. You were with me when the Heavy 24 and the Stoneman tried to break me. You were a loyal companion. Thank you for your perseverance and your traction. I will never forget you.
