It was a foggy cold start today after yet another great breakfast at the hotel. There was quite an amazing array of food but not many guests to eat it all. We did our best but barely scratched the surface. We packed up and left. The lady who ran the hotel was fantastic, but I …
We were umming and ahhing about whether to have a rest day, catch a train to Bad Tolz or just ride and see where we got. I’m still not feeling great and a rest day would make sense. However, after breakfast, I thought, stuff it, let’s just ride. In the end, we cranked out more …
The weather forecast wasn’t great today – yes, that pattern formed a couple of weeks ago and can be expected to continue. After one too many climbs today I questioned the route planner as to why we weren’t in southern Italy now, instead of slogging through the soggy Alps while freezing. There’s no good answer …
Today’s ride on Komoot It looked like a nice day as we munched on the great breakfast at Pension Seeblick. Did I say it was great ? The best yet. So, off we went, not early, but still not too shabby. Unfortunately after the early uphill there was a long downhill. That’s never good at …
Today’s ride on Komoot As I’ve mentioned, breakfast was fantastic and we said goodbye to all of the families and headed straight back to last night’s restaurant – where we were unable to pay the bill last night. They took cash only and we haven’t struck this before, so we promised to come back this …
Today’s ride on Komoot There aren’t many photos today. Probably because it was grey and dull and possibly because the area wasn’t particularly inspiring. It was far more industrial, but with some great paths to follow. I left the nice Airbnb in Lausanne and rode to the station. Dennis was getting a train from near …
Winterthur to near Konstanz – escaping Zurich and the rain Read More »
A very cold day today. We were up in an alpine area so it was no surprise. We had a long downhill to start with and that promised to be uncomfortably cold. As we left the apartment it started to rain so we hesitated and it stopped almost immediately. The downhill was absolutely freezing but …
Today’s ride on Komoot Hills today ! Yuk – and I awoke feeling the worst I had for some time. I would be a snot factory again today. Luckily Dennis was well in front of me and out of range as I struggled up the hills in the latter part of the ride. Another lazy …

Today’s ride on Komoot When I woke up, I was feeling like my head cold was returning, and as the day wore on, I was sure it had. By the end of the day, I had deposited mucus over most of Burgundy 😁 Luckily it was a flat day with lots of easy bike paths. …

Today was destined to be cold, and it disappointed – it was really cold. Last night’s Airbnb was great and we headed out after some breakfast and goodbyes from Natalie and her son. What absolutely lovely people. We had a coffee and the day’s first pastry in town after a very chilly and short downhill. …
