I'll get those links in right away!

Great photos of course, but where’s that video we were promised?

Hey, this is the same route we’re planning on our ride to Augsburg!

I’m going to have to get a pair. They look great!

Suzanne! What a shot!

Thanks, Sandy! 80+, with emphasis on the plus...

Amen, turning a quaint town square into a car park...blah.

But sometimes you get caught in the rain, and they don't take up much space in your panniers. I'm sure Susan would agree it's best to be prepared. 😉

Hi Suzanne

What a shame to have to ‘postpone’ this tour. As you know UTI’s can make one feel dreadfully ill, nausea, pain and not eat, not the best for a cycle tour.

I like to think I’ll never be too old for a cycle tour, my daughter seemed to think I’ll stop at 70….in my head I’m thinking you don’t know me and what cycle touring us all about …..I’m aiming for 80 +……

Enjoy whatever you can do next, it’s great following your tours

Cheers
Sandy

You surely had your challenges for the start of your tour!! All photos invite me to go for a ride — so that is what I will do right now ;’-). I love those rain ‘pants’ and would get some but I choose to rarely ride in rain, and now that I don’t too many tours, I really don’t have the need.

Keep on keeping on ;’-).

Yes, it certainly was an adventurous start! A little less adventure would be okay, too.

I don't really take it for granted. Augsburg and Munich both have a good city train network, other places not. We were lucky. There have been instances where a taxi was necessary to retrieve forgotten items.

I noticed that in your journal, too. I hope you don't cancel anyway.

I can really recommend them. I'll never wear regular rain pants again. I saw them first on a Dutch couple when touring in Belgium.

Thanks, Kathleen! Sorry that your tour for this year had to be put on ice. Your previous tours have been amazing and also beautifully documented. Let's hope next year is easier.
