  Amazing, thanks so much. I stayed in Mersch for four nights last May, and found a wonderful route to Luxembourg City and back. Lovely place to ride a bike

  Lovely, thank you. Quick look at OSM Cycle suggests I can route it onto some little lanes and dirt roads. I've been editing this route here; it must go to the Baumwipfelpfad Saarschleife.

  Maybe May but weddings/ stags confusing my plans.

  7/2/23- 73.3
  14/2/23 - 72.8
  14/3/23 - 72.6

  Finally a new lowest weight after a month of plateau. Surprised though because I had two nights of gyros and pints on the weekend just gone. Therefore, gyros and pints are the ultimate diet.

  Not ridden (or read the rest of the thread yet) but I have this saved as the nice route into Istanbul

  Edit: quick glance suggests it can be made nicer
