Hooray! Hooray! The First of May! You know the rest of that chant. It was rainy this morning, but lightened up in the afternoon, so I squeezed in 11.5 km before dinner. Snaps The A3 is going to be messed up for a long time still. Video Recap The video is from the top of Ziegetsdorf down the hill and back home. around 17:12 I ran a red light....
It rained A LOT this morning in a small amount of time. But then the forecast changed, predicting no rain until after 5, so I jumped on the chance for a short ride.
