Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
92km, (Google maps indicated 76km, but it takes the road distance not bike paths) 14-18deg, overcast, cool with periods of drizzle. While we could have cut across country again today and saved 40ks and time, we would have missed the Bavarian villages and river scenery. Our rain coats were well used today, both to keep out the light rain and the rather cool conditions. The first 30kms were fast and easy, (tailwind) the remaining 60ks were into a headwind and a bit challenging. However we all did the whole journey fairly easily in the end, at an average speed of 17km/h. Not a spectacular day's riding with the rain around so we made few stops. A brief look in a monastery church just as the monks were filing out after prayers was interesting and an aircraft museum (closed) looked like it had some potential from the outside. But in the main we pressed on. Ended up being at the motel and booked in by 3:30pm. Despite the cool conditions and drizzle three of us went in search of our favourite post-ride treat, yoghurt/icecream. Mission completed, but we were soon back in our warm, dry rooms. We mall ventured out again at 6pm for an Indian dinner, which was our pick. It was very yummy, some of the best Indian food ever. Another great day on the bike, thanks to all concerned.
