Beautiful sun today, but quite cold and very brisk wind in places.
In Magersdorf I had hoped a little bit that the inn would be open, but unfortunately it wasn't, so I have to come back.
I always really like this bike ride. 😁☀️🚲

This round is one of my favorite routes and I was quite surprised that I haven't cycled it for sooooo long.... At the beginning of autumn, with this wonderful weather, a wonderful little trip.
