Upstream at 9 degrees with a strong headwind and 25km/h it gets quite cold.
Back to a pleasure, if there weren't so many on the Elbe cycle path. There's a lot of crowding on holidays...

There must be something to be done, even if the wind is blowing strongly from the south-east. So on a cyclist to Obervogelgesang.
Because: Only those who cycle are ennobled ;-)

Training lap along the Elbe. This time downstream to the Blue Wonder and then upstream home via the Pirna city bridge. Since we have an easterly wind with 19 km/h, gusting up to 25 km/h, I could not hope for any support from the wind. He always blew in my face from the side or from the front. But it …
