By our standards, this is an audacious experiment.  We're not sure we can do this, but we're going to give it a try.

Our plan is to cycle from Rosenheim (near Munich) to Trento over the course of 9 days.  Over the (gulp) Alps.

From Rosenheim to Imst, we'll follow the Innradweg, then follow the Via Claudia Augusta over the top of the Reschenpass and down to Trento.

We are not super athletes.  So this is going to be a challenge, especially the ride up to Nauders.  The famously optimistic RideWithGPS routing tool estimates this as 6km of 6%.  On a loaded tandem, we may be walking a bit at that point!

Logistically, we will drive to Trento from Limoux, France, where we live.  We'll stick the car into a covered carpark (thanks, Parclick!), shrink the tandem to single format, and take a train to Rosenheim.  After a day to sightsee and put the bike back together, we'll head south to rendezvous with our car.

We have a month before departure, so we're trying to ramp up our normal riding intensity with some extra hill climbing.  This summer's super-hot weather is making that a challenge, so some early morning starts are in our future.  Early mornings, putting it gently, are NOT our specialty...
