Tour took a long time on a federal highway with a lot of traffic. I would have expected quieter paths from a bike tour.

If you forget when planning that your companion doesn't have an e-bike, a few climbs creep in – and then a headwind on top...🤷‍♀️🙈😉 Sorry about that 😘

The scenery was a bit boring for us, perhaps due to the gray weather 🤷‍♀️😉
