Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

I drove from the old canal to the new one towards home. It is simply the nicer route but also takes a bit longer

Pathway Along the Main-Danube Canal at Burgfarrnbach

Highlight • Cycleway

On the canal you can drive very nicely on mostly gravel. You can also get along the paths directly along the water with the racing bike, it is more comfortable on the gravel.

October 23, 2022,FKK HIT-LIT-HIIT am MDK

Fahrrad-Kurz-Kurz (FKK) today, possibly for the last time this year. To the south, mostly a windsock full of moderate to strong headwind (HIT: ~27 km/h at ~230 W HIT), back decreasing as a tailwind (~30 km/h at ~190 W LIT+) and with a sprint from Hüttendorfer Bridge over the MDK to the lock at Kriegenbrunn (HIIT).

Add full and back first loose then increasing. Today without nudist photos and without Föhrenbuck(-berg) at the N-Hafen.
Slight edge wind from SW.

At least a small tour at the MDK ER~N port LIT there and back from the Euroklinik increasingly HIT.
Almost no wind today (from the south).

Today I really went for it. On the way there I was still relatively relaxed with a high cadence, but the last 10 MDK kilometers really drained me.
At the Milchzapfhäusla I almost broke off over the shoelaces. It's a good thing that the sandals (with SPD) have Velcro fasteners...

Slight headwind to the south at the MDK, which died down again towards the north at dusk - so hardly any tailwind. Squeezed north again.

April 6, 2024,Rückfahrtsschleifchen - Gravel-Bike aus Burgfarrnbach abgeholt.

To add the icing on the cake of decadence, I had my Stevens Camino pro (originally Shimano 1x11-speed gears, converted to a classified 2-speed power shift hub) converted to a 12-speed Shimano GRX with a classified 12-speed pinion block. I was simply annoyed that the gear jump at 90 rpm cadence was over 13%, especially in the 25~30 km/h range …

October 9, 2022,TT gegen den Wind

After I got up late again today despite the best sunshine, there wasn't enough time (in the light) for a gravel lap around Nuremberg. So I thought, at the MDK to the N-Hafen and back again. There was a decent headwind to the south, slowing down to 25~28 km/h at 200~250 W. So on the way there, what is possible …
