[edit] Location
- A riverside in Halsbrücke/Sand, not that far from Dresden.

[edit] Plans
- Finding no sleep yesterday night, and with the Bundestag elections looming, relet began to wonder whether it would be possible to reach this hash, two graticules south, and still be back by 6p.m. to cast a vote.
- He also drew detailed plans, which were lost early during the expedition.
[edit] Expedition
- lost the map
- cycled 44km without taking a wrong turn once
- got a glimpse on why Reinhard's cycling website is called toil yourself.

Most of my ride was along the Weißeritz river.
They have nice rocks here, available for climbing
And hyperspace interstates from the 2000-ies
And boats (near a fishery in Tharandt)

Reaching the train station 2 minutes before the last good train
Reaching the voting booth ~5pm. Didn't help though. The conservative-liberal bunch will be stomping on our rights for the next four years.
