July 4, 2021,Runde um den Ruursee

Very nice round around the Ruursee, started in the best cycling weather and ended in the thickest thunderstorm and rain. My Garmin was switched off by the rain but noticed it, switched it on again and the route was divided. A part of the route is missing so that I came to a total distance of 67.6 km and 1500 …

Great gravel tour to the Rursee and back. All the paths are easy to ride and there is a great backdrop around the Rursee. The only limitation could be the combination of good weather and a Sunday. Then you need a bell because of the many pedestrians. But still recommended.
