Small afternoon round to Cadolzburg to the castle. Then on the old elevated road through the forest to Kirchfarnbach. Then over to the Kolmberg near Neuhof an der Zenn and back home via the Zenntal. It was only 5°C again, so that I also need the face protection in addition to the helmet cap. I've had warmer rides this week …

I only started cycling today at 7:00 p.m. - by then the hottest weather was already over. The tour went to Cadolzburg and then over the "old elevated road" over the Dillenberg. This is an approximately 8km long shady forest highway. In Kirchfarnbach then turned towards Zenntal and from Lagenzenn back home. I saw a very nice sunset there.
