The ride
Roll out of Landstuhl and let the ride unfold past the Naßwiese am Bahndamm, then on through the meadows north of Vogelbach. Further along come the Wiesen westlich der Vogelbacher Mühle and the Schwarzbach, each a nature reserve, before Gustavsburg and Burg Nanstein, two castles, break up the kilometres. It's 80.2 km with 968 m of climbing, and the whole route is paved. Back to Landstuhl to finish.
