I wanted to take the gentler option, which would have been only 21 km long, but swine fever put a stop to my plan. Because just behind the "Sedlitzer See drainage" construction site, I wanted to go straight through the forest, but a locked gate blocked my way. So I had …

April 6, 2024,ILC – BRB 06: Sedlitzer See

Iron Lake Challenge Brandenburg 6/10 packed. The best weather led to the first sunburn of the year. And I have to say, you should tar all brown coal lakes with the same brush 🤪 Honestly: I thought Lake Sedlitz was really cool. Even though it's just water that you're not allowed to go near, surrounded by a long asphalt bike …
