A hard day of cycling, but amazing scenery and sunshine! After a quick breakfast, we hung around Tanja’s flat to charge my phone which failed to charge overnight. On the road at 8:45, and in Liechtenstein by 9:00. We used an ATM to get some Swiss Franks as both Switzerland and Liechtenstein don’t accept the Euro. Our ride through Liechtenstein was only about 4 miles. Crossing the Rhine River we entered Switzerland. We had a steep climb which gave us picturesque views over the valley of Liechtenstein and back toward Feldkirch. We continued to Samstagern riding along the Obersee and stopping at The Brewery Factory in Jona. A beautiful ride over a wooden walk bride led us to the south side of the Obersee/Zürichsee and a 2 mile climb to the Krüsi. Caroline offered us some sparkling water and we cleaned up as Caroline offered to do our laundry. A great dinner of a tofu/vegetable/lentil mixture and chocolate cake was eaten in the patio overlooking the valley surrounded by the Swiss Alps. We had fun talking until about ten with Caroline and her husband Marcel. 61 miles/4,300 ft.Meer informatie

Returned to Germany and rode through the southern part of the Black Forest. A tough climb led to a long scenic descent to Freiberg. Our hosts Martin and Elisa (originally from Argentina) cooked a delicious cheesy/mushroom pasta for us. We sat on the balcony chatting until dark. Lisa saw a cute fox today and we took a mid-day hike in the Black Forest. We stopped at a little microbrewery in town and one of the owners (Julian) happened to be there and let us buy a few beers even though they weren’t open, Thanks Martin and Elisa for giving us you bedroom, we had an awesome night of sleep!Meer informatie

A hot day of cycling brought us through the rout de vin (white wine area of the Alsace region of France) We continued to be awed by the beautiful steeples appearing over the vineyards as we approached every village. We climbed to Chateau de Koenigsbourg and had a magnificent view of the valley bellow. Along descent from the chateau and some more riding along vineyard brought us to Tabitha and Yannick’s house in Villé, France. Yannick’s dad (André Zimmermann)was a famous Tour de France rider in the 60’s and helped teammate Jacques Anquetil (5 time tour winner). It was motivating to here about Tabitha (France triathlon national champion for 20-25 age group) and Yannick’s passion for travel and adventure. The fed us a delicious typical French meal with an organic salad from the neighboring farmer’s garden. We had a great sleep in the house they are remodeling that has a scenic view over the valley de Villé. 69 miles / 3000 ft.Meer informatie

Threatening skies with a lucky outcome of no rain led to another great day of cycling. Our main sight was Rocher de Dabo (a small church perched on a mountain top.) The morning riding continued through vineyards, and included a stop under a cherry tree for a snack. We also discovered a local street market in Obernai, where we each got some sunglasses and had a delicious cappuccino, a chocolate croissant, and a potato hashbrown patty. Our long climb to Rocher de Dabo was well worth it and we picnicked at the top. The rest of the day was easy with long downhills and canal riding. In Saverne we walked through the Main Street and then rode about 5 miles out of the larger city to Joseph and Pascal’s home. The little village of nearly 600 people is quite and graced with a beautiful cathedral from the 12th century (the oldest in the region.) After a dinner of pasta with spinach and mushrooms, salad, bread, and cherry pie we took a walking tour with Joseph to the cathedral, as the sun was starting to set. 67 miles / 3700 ftMeer informatie

We had a nice breakfast with Joseph and Pascal, and then visited the lesser-known Mount Saint Michel of France. Lisa and I crawled through a special cavern at the historical site, more stories to come about that later. One of our main destinations for the day was the Citadel de Bitche (yep, It is actually pronounced “bitch”, Which is pretty hard to say when talking to people.) Bitche was a nice view from a distance, but they wanted €10 to enter, so we passed on that. We had a nice picnic lunch and then proceeded towards Saarbrücken, Germany. Near the end of our day we found a wash/bath house, with some of the coldest water I have a ever soak my feet in! Lisa and I, played around trying to stand in the water for 20 seconds, but it was so painful, but refreshing too. Our couch surfing host, Tom, had an amazing set up for us. Our own bedroom, our own bathroom and shower, and a barbecue and fire to celebrate the equinox. He invited some friends to share the evening with us, and it was a very memorable night. Lots of climbing today! We crossed back into Germany And had fun standing on the board-line 65.8 miles/4350 ftMeer informatie

National Day (eve!) We were up and ready to go the earliest yet (6:45.) Our goal was to be in Luxembourg City by 2:00pm for the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace, which is the official start of the National Day festivities. Light rain delayed our start until about 8:00 AM. Once on the road we had smooth riding and made it to our hotel in LC, and got to the changing of the guard in time. The evening was fun filled with, street food, dance parties every 50 meters in the city center, a torchlight parade, and a fireworks synchronized to the military bands music. It was an awesome day!Meer informatie
