Yesterday we got the bikes ready with a trip tp the local bike shop where running repairs were done very quickly. Ollies bike finally turned up. In the afternoon we rode 40 km to Andechs which is a monastery outside of munich but noted for its dark beer. Michael was the official taste tester.
The bunch split for the return with Michale and Peter trying every trick to lose the pusuitants who rode back at 40 kph average!!!!!
Waether is good . not to hot and the very infrequent colign shower.
Munich is a nice city with a very strong bike culture withj bike paths on every street so it has been a very fitting place to begin the ride.
We hope to ride off at 9 am this morning, so next update from Garmisch Partenkirken

over the past few years, bike paths have been introduced alongside any newly built street in Germany, following the Dutch and Scandinavians. France now also wants to pave its Parisian sidewalks with bike lanes!
ReplyDeleteMy wish for your trip is a quote from a great band: "Ride on..." (although it's a rather bluesy song)
