Today we biked along the Rhine River Gorge. The basic run along the Rhine river was a flat (260 ft) 20 mile ride to our lunch at a local winery. We decided to add a 6.2 mile (807 ft) “Castle View” climb as well before lunch. It was a nice climb starting around 6% grade and ending up around a 12% grade. Beth did fine with the e-bike going up. It was a little unnerving coming back down the same grade. The view we had was actually from above the castle.
In the afternoon we sat on the sun deck as we cruised the river gorge to Lahnstein. This was the part of the Rhine river that has many hilltop castles and towns right on the river.
Tonight we will be doing a tour of a castle in Lahnstein. Das ist gud.
