June 24, 2024,Colmar/Selestat Rundtour

OK, the beginning through Colmar wasn't that great. It could definitely be made more interesting. After that, along the canals, it's beautiful and quiet. The rides through the vineyards are sensational. Ribeauville and Riquewihr are definitely worth seeing. Warning: you should plan the last 8km differently. Because of a triathlon, we were forced to use a real single trail.
