It was a gloriously sunny morning, still cold (55) and windy, but no rain; this is what a morning should look like.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ride today consisted of mostly forest, \"\"<\/a>sometimes the Enchanted forest,\"\"<\/a>fields, \"\"<\/a>rough and rumble roads\"\"<\/a> and Wind<\/em>………in the face……..at 25 mph, plus stronger gusts!!!\u00a0 But the vistas……. the downpour from yesterday seemed to have made everything green again.\"\"<\/a>Skirted a few towns\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>and rode the ferry across the Elbe with a way too big truck.\"\"<\/a>But mostly we bumped along the rough paths\"\"<\/a> pushing into the wind, sometimes almost blowing us over.\u00a0 We were quite happy to finally cross the bridge into our destination of Magdeburg.\"\"<\/a>It was a very tough 68 miles in the wind, but no rain, so we were happy.\n\t\t
