A misty grey ride. "Fog Dancing" are the words in "Dancing In Fog", the song by Fish, whose fantastic concert I attended last Thursday 😍
Unfortunately the farewell tour of Fish 😪

Mist calm weather, little wind. On the way back the sun broke through.

My first real gravel route. Beautiful route with both gravel and paved paths. Beautiful piece of nature and along the canal is a nice part. Now I rode the mountain bike, which I was quite happy with on some trails... it took a little longer because of that.
