Very idyllic and beautiful views. With a racing bike you brake too often for leisurely cyclists or e-bikes who like to use the entire width of the cycle path. Beware of bottlenecks and curves that are difficult to see.

August 20, 2024,Von Riesa nach Dresden und zurück

Very nice bike tour along the Elbe to Dresden, highly recommended!!

As I already know Dresden, I took a few photos, over the August Bridge and back on the other side. Here there were "adventure high-tech highlights" like a staircase where you have to push the bike down on a rail or a very bumpy cobblestone path and then a …

For a Friday, there was quite a bit of traffic on both sides of the river. Many seniors were out today, taking advantage of the great weather and getting some exercise.

After the workshop appointment this week, I was pretty devastated because they had discovered a possible crack in the frame.

Nevertheless, the bike is still rideable with the drive replaced and if the crack continues like this, I'll probably just lose the saddle. So it's not that bad... 😂

Pleasant temperatures and little going on, that's how it should be.
A jump into the Elbe was also possible and was a nice cool down :).

Always thought Riesa is 60 km to DD and Strehla 70. Well, the last training session was way too short. But the limit was clearly exceeded with 60 km over it. Should be clear on Saturday tour to Vedomice.

Today it was planned to do a little stretch to clear your head. The target was a 27 average per 100 km. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out, on the way back there was more traffic than we had hoped for and therefore too many braking manoeuvres.
All in all it was a relatively manageable number of cyclists considering the …
