Day 6 - a transit day to Germany

We left Switzerland today at about the 60km of our ride. It was not a particular exciting ride since we passed through multiple villages with nothing going on and many farmers fields. It took quite a while before we could even find an open grocery store for some cold drinks. We are now in Laufenberg Germany which has a sister town of Laufenberg Switzerland across the Rhine. You can just walk across a foot bridge connecting the two. Tonight we are at a quaint hotel that unfortunately does not have AC because it is hot. At least at the moment there is a good breeze coming in the window.

Today’s ride and profile. The white sections are gravel.

Laufenberg Germany. The green building is our hotel.

Today's ride: 77 km (48 miles)
Total: 1,155 km (717 miles)
