After Kev wished Marysia a happy birthday by phone we took to the superb German cycle network trails - after cycling washed away roads in the UK this was cycling heaven with conditions the equal of the autobahn!
If conditions were that good you may well ask why we only cycled 46kms for the day in short we left late, the heat was stifling, we got lost in Traunstein and most disturbingly wed seen one too many speedo clad Germans!
After calling it quits in Siegsdorf it was off to the local bike mechanic with my madly frustrating gear slipping bike.The diagnosis was not good in broken english the mechanic indicated my shimano hub was crap, my bike was out of alignment whatever the he that means and in about 100kms something important will fall off !
On the way back to the hotel KH succumbed to temptation having an I've cream and with self watching the world go by. If I'm successful with getting Kev into a bakery his brother may need a forklift to pick him up on his return!
The cycling scenery was stunning with open fields , mtns in the distance and onion domed churches giving a storybook feel to this beautiful parr of the world.
With all things well I can't wait to do 47kms tommorrow!
