Day Eleven 23.8 miles (38 km), 2 hours 12 minutes, 405 feet (123 m) of elevation (climbing). It was a hodgepodge of sights today. As we rode along the Danube, we realized we were in wine country. We rode by so many vine-covered hillsides that i...

I've been trying to post each day about our bicycle trip but had to skip yesterday. We had just arrived at our summer camp, which is a 20-year-old travel trailer. There was lots of unpacking and setting up to do. I was just too tired from it all yest...

I don't have any exact cycling stats because we still hadn't figured out the app yet. My explanation from the previous day's post was learned after we completed day eight's ride from Niederranna 3 to Linz, Austria. It was roughly 40 miles with a s...

I have no exact mileage information for this day because we used the tour company's GPS routing in their phone app and that information is no longer available to us. Whatever the mileage was, we rode more than that.... and then some. This post is r...

Our first rest day and I'm glad to sleep in a bit, enjoy a leisurely breakfast knowing that the only thing on our agenda today is laundry and a walk to the old city to see the things my husband has on his bucket list here. I really don't have a li...

Cesky Krumlov, or rather Nove Udoli, Czech Republic to Passau, Germany, 36.2 miles (58 km), and 1519 feet (463 m) of elevation (climbing). This route is very deceiving. It looks downhill the whole way. It wasn't.... Our cycling route today act...

I just had to break out Cesky Krumlov into two posts because it's such an interesting, fun place. We arrived there on a Saturday afternoon and boy oh boy the tourists were out in droves. It's a touristy place but worth a visit. It's also a UNESCO Wor...

Hluboka nad Vltavou to Cesky Krumlov, 27.2 miles (44 km), 2 hours 53 minutes, 1532 feet (467 m) of elevation (climbing). Finally, we get an easy-ish day with fewer miles and a mostly flat ride, as you can see from the elevation chart. Unfortu...

Tabor to Hluboka nad Vltavou, 40.1 miles (65 km) 3 hours and 47 minutes, 2135 feet (651 m) of elevation (climbing). Not exactly a 'flat' ride today, for sure. I did a lot of cussing.... and I recorded a few videos where I bemoaned having just co...

Prague to Benesov, 40.5 miles (65 km), 4h 25 minutes, 2504 feet (763 m) of elevation gain (climbing). I was woefully (and I mean WOEFULLY) unprepared. If you have read my other blog (60 Pounds by 60 Years), you know that I lost 70 pounds last year...
