The evening of the first day of autumn was ideal for a round on the Danube Island. I like the color of the sky from the rays of the setting sun. 🌞

Something different for once. Cycling in the city as a country biker, i.e. along the Vienna Danube Island. The return trip was a full 42.40 km. A wonderfully sunny day, but with a strong east wind. It stayed constant all day and gave me a decent boost on the way back. Unfortunately, the strong wind caused my bike to fall …

In the morning, when it's not so hot yet, I like to ride to the Danube Island. The up and down is 42 km, plus the journey there and back.

Southern and middle new Danube are quite OK. A little cold when you walk in, but quite comfortable afterwards.

North part is full of floating gatch, I wouldn't jump in there.
