Views of the castle are nonsense; it's far away. The surface is, in my opinion, really bad for road cycling (except for the recently resurfaced section from the junction with the road from Weddersleben to the entrance to Quedlinburg, it's one of the worst roads in the area). And there's quite a lot of traffic. Even by car, going faster than 80 km/h isn't fun, especially given the narrow road. Many locals commute here by bike, not voluntarily. It might be okay in the evenings.
