Today I learned a thing during another gravel ride: The routing profile "Gravel m11n (more offroad, beta)" from bikerouter.de deserves its name. I had to hike my bike on two sections as there was no possible way for me of riding them. First time for me I guess. It was fun nevertheless.

Day 4 #bike #biketour

Day 3 #bike #biketour

A new route, more distance and higher elevation gain. That was the plan when I hopped on my bike today after lunch.

I am not perfectly content with my performance though - I felt weaker than I had hoped. And I had a longer break around halfway through because one chain link got stuck between chainwheel and frame and bent subsequently so the chain kept jumping off. Thankfully a helping man and his pliers were nearby to fix the chain link and I could continue 🎉. It was already very dark and cold on my return.

Cycling through the Autumn scenery is a gift that keeps on giving! But that's it for this week - I'm all run down 😅.

After glancing through the windows late in the morning I had the sudden urge to hop on my gravel bike. Worth it!

Sun came out late afternoon today - perfect for a short bike ride to clear the mind!

Donaubikeland - Rostbraten-Runde
On Saturday some colleagues from work and I made good use of the last fair weekend in the golden October and we embarked on the Rostbraten-Runde in and around the valley of the Danube river.
We took the trains to Beuron and started out in the river valley. Honestly I could have taken a photo every other 100m. It was just so magical with the rocky towers nestled in between the autumn colours of the woods next to the slow flowing river.
A short and punchy climb took us out of the valley and we visited the lady from the reception at our company, who had invited us for a Weißwurstfrühstück after learning we would pass a few 100m from where she lives.
Freshly recharged or stuffed with food and beer - however you take it, we continued on. From this point on the route mostly followed paved roads with little traffic. Nevertheless, the website with the tour description set the pavement to gravel ratio at 51:49%. In reality it was closer to 80% for the pavement. Also there was a lot of wind, mostly from the front.
We fought our way to the Castle Wildenstein, where we tried to take a shortcut following a hiking trail down into the river valley. The trail however was only rideable with serious Trial skills. Aside from an Enduro rider with a professional license, non of us had anything close those skills, so we followed the original route on the road. At least there were some tight switchbacks (for the cars).
Back at the river, we took a break at a Biergarten for coffee and cake (I know :D). And then the rest of the tour we followed the river upstream to Beuron, where we took the trains back home.
