The ride

Roll out of Rieschweiler and into the Bliesgau biosphere reserve, then on through the Kirkeler Bachtal valley. Past the Taubental reserve the road climbs to the Aussichtsturm Schmitshausen viewpoint, before the Hausgiebel reserve and the run home. Of the 78.1 km, almost all is paved, with a touch of unpaved. It ends where it began, in Rieschweiler.
