Started from the Rossmann car park in Altenlingen, along the canal, through the moor, over the Ems, at the reservoir and back along the canal. Everything included wind, rain, a few rays of sunshine and wind wind wind.

The tour was okay. It went a lot along the road, but the cycle paths were well developed. It was nice in the nature reserve and in the reservoir. The part along the canal was also nice to drive. All together ok.
