Nice round, marred by a creeping flat tire on the last 15km, which also pulled the average down but at least got home without repairs. After 2500km the first flat tire at Maxxis Detonator, a good record but now it's time for a swap.

Almost double-digit temperatures, little wind, cyclist heart, what more do you want... maybe a few degrees more🌞😎😉

Started extra late, almost nothing going on on the roads, lovely air with the smell of freshly mown fields. The wind, which was unusually strong for the late hour, only somewhat spoiled the experience. But what the heck: that's how it is on the coast ;-))

Temperatures around freezing. The route was very easy to drive, apart from a few places where the sun hadn't thawed everything.

In Eckernförde by the water it was quite fresh due to the wind from the east-north-east but "Kurz-Kurz" was still the right choice.

A real pleasure in the most beautiful sunshine. The R.SH event "Pop am Strand" was already casting its shadows, in Ecktown the bear was already tapping 😉
