day9 24/04 Basel 63k457 Breisach

First half of a warm day spent cycling the E bank, firstly CH but mostly D.
The embankment was unsurfaced, either gravel or dirt.
After 30k took the bridge to the F side to cycle, within sight of the Rhein, on tarmac lanes, to help conserve the tyres and wheels.
Finally crossed back into D at Breisach.
For this stretch across the Alsace plain the mighty Rhein flows in two parts
- the barge navigable canal
- and the river, with power generating weirs about 40k apart
- and about 6k further W there's the 19thC Rhine/Rhone link canal
