Sébastien

March 24, 2025, 7. Tag kleine Runde

I set off late after heavy rain for a short ride in the rain. The rain slowly eased and stopped completely about halfway through. At one point, komoot and reality weren't quite on the same page. There are now one-way streets, so I cautiously took the wrong turn because I saw no other option. Today I had nice, steady climbs. However, the weather conditions made it a short ride.
