Today’s ride on Komoot Today is the hardest day left before I finish the European leg of the trip (I think). I’m heading into the Vosges mountains just west of Colmar and again, I’m not sure where I’ll get to. It depends how I feel. Colmar was pretty dead in the morning. It seems that …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had two nights in Basel at the Silo Hostel. What a great place. It’s just out of town and is a renovated grain warehouse that has won a number of awards. The building and the finishes are stunning… As well as expensive. It’s also staffed by very nice people. Breakfast …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had my usual muesli, yoghurt and banana breakfast, made a coffee and packed up. There were a surprising number of British accents around the campsite. Some had moved to Switzerland and most were bemoaning Brexit and how it has disrupted their lives. Completely understandable. The path out of Murg was …
Today’s ride on Komoot Tired again this morning and slow to move but each day, I’m feeling a little bit better. I was feeling lazy last night and purchased the hotel breakfast. They sent me to their sister hotel and the breakfast was fantastic. After that, I was ready to hit the road and went …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today, I was planning on 50kms to Landeck-Zams station followed by a train through the Arlberg tunnel to Bludenz. That should be the end of trains for a while I hope. I thought 60kms was right, as I still didn’t feel fantastic and didn’t want to overdo it. After all, only …
Today’s ride on Komoot I’ve been in bed, sick for the week up to yesterday. I could hardly move and slept most of those days. While I didn’t feel too bad, I really couldn’t move at all. I didn’t have any terrible symptoms – a slightly sore-ish throat, a bit of a cough and sometimes …
Today’s ride on Komoot I woke up this morning feeling like I was about to get the flu and thought about staying another night. There’s not much to do here, so I decided to ride 50 fairly easy kms to Zell am See and find a BnB. That way I can have a nap and …
Today’s ride on Komoot – 1 Today’s ride on Komoot – 2 Yesterday’s rest day was great. The weather was rubbish and I think all I achieved was to get the blog sort of up to date. There’s plenty of backfilling to do yet though. Being Sunday, shops weren’t open, so I went to the …
I didn’t particularly like the campsite and nor did the Dutch couple who camped near me. They left just before me – to find another campground closer to Villach. There was nothing I could see on Google yesterday but they located one. Google Maps has been generally untrustworthy in Europe. Sometimes places don’t exist, sometimes …
Today’s ride on Komoot And Part 2 Tarvisio was quite touristy but the tourists were generally older people on eBikes. It’s beautiful but it’s not my kind of place. Leaving was therefore easy. I didn’t even stop for my last macchiato in Italy. I did meet a Polish family cycling with their kids. I’m always …
