Bicycle tour Rams saddle 22.4.2005
Last night was clear and cold, and morning frost destroyed my magnolia´s blossoms. At noon I start with my racing bike. Bright sunshine, but only 10 C and an unpleasing wind. I ride via Willendorf and Wuerflach to Flatz, then Neunkirchen, Peng and over Rams saddle to Kirchberg am Wechsel.
