Elbe Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Very idyllic and beautiful views. With a racing bike you brake too often for leisurely cyclists or e-bikes who like to use the entire width of the cycle path. Beware of bottlenecks and curves that are difficult to see.

Always thought Riesa is 60 km to DD and Strehla 70. Well, the last training session was way too short. But the limit was clearly exceeded with 60 km over it. Should be clear on Saturday tour to Vedomice.

Today, Saturday, is the third stage of our tour from Halle to Dresden. After starting in Strehla, we visited a dear friend in Riesa and, after she had treated us to a delicious breakfast, "took" her along the Elbe cycle path to Dresden.
The GPS was weak and switched off after about 50 kilometers. 😉

The bike path between Meißen and Riesa is not really ideal for racing bikes, so I declared the route as a "bicycle". The left side of the same is a little more recommended.

For a Friday, there was quite a bit of traffic on both sides of the river. Many seniors were out today, taking advantage of the great weather and getting some exercise.

The early bird... I set off at 6:30 am sharp for my long-planned bike tour to Riesa. The weather could have been a bit warmer and sunnier, but the sun came out towards the end. 😉 Lovely tour along the Elbe.

After the workshop appointment this week, I was pretty devastated because they had discovered a possible crack in the frame.

Nevertheless, the bike is still rideable with the drive replaced and if the crack continues like this, I'll probably just lose the saddle. So it's not that bad... 😂
