The\u00a0 IFRD, the international female riding day, is a yearly reoccuring event on the first saturday of may.<\/p>\n

This year, it was the 10th anniversary of this event, and, naturally, I did participate too\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0165\"<\/a>I met with Su at 9 in the morning, and we started our Versys W4-Trip\u00a0\u00a0 (W4 stands for Weinviertel – wine quarter;\u00a0 the NO-Part of Lower Austria, where wine is produced).\"IMG_0171\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We started with the lower parts, also called Marchfeld, and proceeded northward, along the Slovakian border, then further on along the Czech border,<\/p>\n

At Hohenau an der March, at the first roundabout, it then happened. A small oil spot and my back wheel decided to slide away. After a 180\u00b0 turn we were briefly sliding over the concrete tarmac<\/p>\n

Only my pride was really hurt, thank god, nothing else was really damaged. So we went on after a short break,<\/p>\n

\"Valtice\"<\/a>where we did cross the border to \"DCIM100GOPROG0050366.\"<\/a>Valtice\u00a0 -><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and from there on to Lednice, our target for todays ride.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lednice castle and the surounding park are an real beauty<\/p>\n\n

It was really hard to find a place to park the bikes, as it seems whole Lednice is a no drive, no parking zone\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09 But we did find a gap, large enough for the bikes.<\/p>\n

We then did a short foot walk around the castle, as there were still a few km to go.<\/p>\n

\"Mikulov\"<\/a>We then headed on to Mikoluv\u00a0 close to the Autrian border.<\/p>\n

It does have a beautiful city centre, beeing renovated now for decades it looks like a beauty.<\/p>\n

But, we traveled on<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0166\"<\/a>And crossed the border\u00a0 back to Austria on a short dirt road passage back to W4 where we very soon found a most beautiful scenery beneath a linden tree.<\/p>\n

Its a hill full of vine cellars, surounded by vine yards,\u00a0 called Galgenberg<\/a> (Mountain of the gallow\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 )<\/p>\n

But we travelled on, no vine drinking with driving a bike.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We now drove back south, through the hilly countryside and yellow rapeseed field<\/p>\n

\"DCIM100GOPROG0300478.\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DCIM100GOPROG0310479.\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Until we did met the Danube again.<\/p>\n

We crossed there the \"IMG_0177\"<\/a>Danube river by ferry \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0174\"<\/a>A whole ferry for two Versys alone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After the crossing we did went on along the northern\u00a0 Wienerwald <\/a>where we were stopped by a young Biker, who did had a bike accident due to ballast on the street.\u00a0 \"IMG_0180\"<\/a>Fortunately he wasn’t hurt, but in light shock.<\/p>\n

We gave him some water and helped him to\u00a0 recover his bike out of the ditch.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0178\"<\/a>But it was heavily damaged, the rim broken, the brake fluid reservoir gone,<\/p>\n

the fairing broken, etc…<\/p>\n

We did organise a towing firm and brought him to the next inn, so he could wait there for them to arrive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"W4tel<\/a>Only a few kilometres after, back in Vienna,\u00a0 we finished our IFRD Tour after 11 hours on the way.<\/p>\n

It was a pleasant trip, in nice company, perfect weather nothing more to wish for. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
