Sunny smooth riverside cycle path 15k down the E bank into town.

Now I entered the very industrial Ruhr region, and  switched to the W bank to avoid Leverkusen.
The one major obstruction on the W bank is the Ford factory  - -  a familiar site for me.
A cyclist from Bayer guided me round its perimeter and back to the Rhein, a route I knew from my business visits there.   In fact we passed an office I had worked in during the 1980s.

Followed the winding Rhein N into greying skies and eventual rain.
Acieved the prime objective of ending N of Dusseldorf.
