February 18, 2023,Modautal Brandau Bensheim Runde 🌬🌧

This time with the racing bike through the Modautal. A bit windy but that worked. I found the short rain showers that came from time to time worse.

I originally planned to cycle very early today, at 6 a.m., but today I was able to sleep in, and it felt good. So, I did a different tour than planned, but it was already much warmer and very nice again.

@Maik: It would be really mega without cars. In normal traffic, this is never entirely without it, even if the group is homogeneous. Some drivers lose patience and expose us to really extremely braking situations.
