Nobody is trying to break a record today. This ride has another purpose. It is simply good to be back. Every Season Changes the Bicycle Cycling in spring is not the same as cycling in summer. Summer means long evenings and endless possibilities.

Autumn brings cooler roads, golden forests, and another kind of quiet. Winter belongs to the cyclists who refuse to stop. But the beginning of a new riding season carries something special.
