Day 3: Bad Neuenahr - Rüdesheim
120km along the Rhine – a long false flat, as there are still 520 meters of elevation gain.
Koblenz
Koblenz, where the Moselle and Rhine meet. A logical ‘cola stop’ – refueling with something sweet and soft drinks.
Bopard - perfect lunch stop
From Koblenz until just before Boppard, it rained continuously. But then the sky cleared up for a (pizza) lunch in Boppard.
Ferry to the right bank
Assmannshausen (Rűdesheim)
Glad to arrive at Hotel Post, with a warm shower after a wet and cold ride. We had quite a bit of a headwind (by 'we' I actually mean my cycling buddy LocomoRik).
Cycling along the Rhine is sometimes monotonous, but there are also plenty of postcard views.
In terms of restaurants tonight, the choice was between German, Italian, or Indian. So it was Indian, and the spirit of the day was also ‘local’ …
