Today, I finally managed to do my second cycling trip for the “Tracking for Freedom” project. While I originally wanted to follow the Danube southbound and return the same way, I managed to take the wrong path at some point and so I improvised the remaining route. Instead of returning via the Donauinsel, I crossed the Danube at the Freudenau power plant and drove across Simmering and the central cemetery. Afterwards, chose the “Zweierlinie” from Karlsplatz to Vienna’s Landesgericht. This last part however proved to be a rather bad decision. There were lots of rather slow cyclists on the bike lane and so my average speed went down quite fast. Of course I could have chosen the car lane, but I’m not tired of life.

Some figures:

Note: The climb was measured using a non-calibrated barometric altimeter; the amount of energy consumed was calculated from the measured heart rate and physiological parameters.
