Taster tour on the Old Danube, then into the Lobau.
At 7 degrees it was a little more pleasant than at temperatures between 0 and 5 degrees recently.
You still have to have a little patience...

Vienna: Be careful! If you drive down to the Danube somewhere 🚴‍♂️, you have to be prepared for 2 cm of mud. The “flood” signs have a purpose.

Semi-comfortable at 5 degrees and quite a bit of wind. In the next few days it's supposed to get a lot colder and more uncomfortable 🌧️. So keep waiting in the starting blocks... 🚴🏽‍♂️ 😄

Today it was a dream!
With a strong tail wind "flew" into the Lobau cheering, in the opposite direction then much more contemplative - not bad either.
Then a detour to the oil port and the southern end of the Danube Island - wonderful light!
