September 24, 2023,Rundfahrt Slow up nach Rapperswil

Slow up Schmerikon to Rappi. Although it was allowed to drive on the road, it was possible to drive on the gravel path. On the way back near Schmerikon we drove over to the Linth and across the meadows. Despite the constant headwind, the whole trip was a nice Sunday lap😊
