April is showing its friendlier side this weekend, with rising temperatures and increasingly sunny spells. It’s a great time to get your bikes out of the basement and explore the Graz region on two wheels.
On Friday, we’ll start with 14°C and mostly cloudy skies. Saturday will be overcast with 17°C, before Sunday greets us with a pleasant 20°C and partly cloudy weather – ideal for longer rides.
