Stadt Winterthur (Kreis 1) / Heiligberg

After our short stay in Austria we have now entered our fifth country. 🚴🏼🇩🇪🇵🇱🇨🇿🇦🇹🇨🇭🚴🏻‍♂️. A beautiful sunny day of 60 miles of riding. We rode through huge Apple orchards listening to the sounds of the church bells chime mean in the countryside. One of the biggest highlights was the lunch spot we found that overlooked the valley below. We had some tough climbs, but less than yesterday. It was quite quiet today as it was Sunday. A lot less cars on the road, but many cyclists out for a spin. We stopped for a snack and across the road was a castle with a moat filled with giant koi. The day ended with an awesome dinner with the Warmshower host Dominique. Her husband, Andreas, is on an epic tour from Austin up to the Arctic Circle and then back to Austin. He is currently in Alaska and heading back towards Austin. We ended the evening with a scenic hike to a zoo and playground. We hit 1000 miles today!Read more
