We were up late after yesterday’s long ride then packed up and left the nice pesione where we stayed. It was pretty flat on the way out of town on some secondary roads and the day quickly formed a pattern that would be repeated all the way to our destination – vineyards, wildflowers, crops, small …

Today’s ride on Komoot We wanted to put some solid kms in today, knowing that we had some great downhills before things levelled out a bit. We were breakfasted and away by 8:30, so we were on world record pace from the start. We rode back up to the bike path which would have once …
Today’s ride on Komoot – Pt 1 Today’s ride on Komoot – Pt 2 It rained again this morning and the clouds hung low after that, so pack up was a bit damp and soggy but that’s fine. We left the campground and planned on breakfast down the road but on Sunday morning on Italy, …
Today’s ride on Komoot We had second thoughts based on some messages that Dennis received – advising not to ride the Brenner Pass. Apparently, the road is narrow and busy. Today is Saturday, so the traffic could be anything. Brenner / Brennero was our train stop, had a cafe over the road and the downhill …
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 …
