Closed Circle

-
After 1000 km and many adventures, we finally pulled back into the waiting arms of our good friends in Wiesbaden, and declared the trip ended. So many castles and memories as we came back up the Rhine. 
Places we had been, sights that were vaguely familiar. I don't know that we repeated any second breakfast stops, though. 
We already have 2 bikes boxed, and tomorrow should see everything else done. Having local residents makes all the difference in these situations, as our friends know a taxi guy, and he has a cousin, and so now we have our airport taxi ride dealt with, and I didn't have to misuse any more German to get it done. A real win.
We are happy to be off the road,  but are encouraged  that Ruby asked where we were going next time. I really can't imagine, but bet that in a year or two, we will start the planning again. Right now it feels like time to get back to everything we have ignored at home. We will hang on to the memories though.

    I’ve really enjoyed traveling with your family, thanks for the great stories and amazing photos. Your kids are AWESOME! And I wonder if New Zealand would be a good destination for your next bike tour?
    I’ll have some novels to recommend when you return, I’ve read some really good ones this summer so far.

a Good Start

We finally began our ride today! After months of planning and effort, it was wonderful to get on the road.  We received a delightful send-off when the Back Road Club’s moped rodeo departed promptly at 6:00. Considering that they had closed the bar of the night before, I was a little surprised that they got moving so briskly. It was quite a sight, all these hard drinking, chain smoking, burly men, hopping on their mopeds, Vespas and tiny motorbikes for another day's adventure. We made a much quieter departure several hours later. We were forced into a schedule of 2 short days to start, so that we can meet a bus shuttle promptly at 10am in Flachauwinkl on the third day to transit a tunnel that doesn't allow bikes. Probably not the strangest way to plan an entire itinerary, but certainly a great chance to visit Flachauwinkl... We had a delightful day of riding up the river with a nice tailwind. Lots of bikes going both directions and all the Alpine scenery ...

Well, it's sunny and 83 degrees, which is perfect June weather in Austria, but it's also outside the two-degree range of comfort for Oregonians, so we are hot. Some of what we're experiencing this afternoon -- speaking for myself, at least -- is the jitters. Anticipatory heat stroke, haha. What were we thinking? I feel like I got lulled into believing we could bike over the Alps by articles like this: The Alpe Adria trail starts with roughly two days of gentle climbing. There’s then a nice descent to the Villach basin, another climb and finally a couple of days on a gently descending path down to Grado.  Lyle was studying the route yesterday, and there are multiple 15% grades and about 9,000 feet of climbing. Did I realize that when I suggested this route? Too late now. I'm along for the ride. This morning was delightful. We rode our bikes (sans gear) down to the blue-green Salzach River and cruised along shady, quiet paths to Mozartplatz. There were so many folks out ...

Up and Over!

Today we got up and boogied by 8:45, ready for our 44-mile challenge day. Our first stop was a bike shop where we picked up a couple canisters of CO2 and some sunglasses for Ruby. We also got Lyle's wheel trued, and then we were on our way. The first five miles were bliss -- relatively flat paths traversing idyllic valley scenery. Then we began a ten mile climb. Yes -- ten miles. This literally took several hours.  Starting up the hill. Where we were headed. It was a spectacular ascent that took us through villages, farmsteads, forests, green pastures, and wildflower meadows. It was a quiet and peaceful slog. Other than our own heavy breathing and groans, the only sounds were tinkling cow bells, birdsong, and a rushing snowmelt river.  Around mile 15 Dave and I came upon the kids, who had zoomed up the mountain ahead of us, and we inhaled cheese, salami, bread, kiwis, apples, peanut butter, and cookies. (My load was lighter after that!!...
