I know, I'm so far behind on this blog. I'm trying to get back to finishing it. I think I have put off writing about Vienna because it was a bit of a letdown for me, as we didn't plan well. Today was one of our few 'rest' days. That's in quotes be...

Traismauer to Vienna, Austria, 44.6 miles (72 km), 3 hours 13 minutes, 550 feet (167 m), of elevation (climbing). As you can tell it was a very flat ride today. I was so happy about that given how long a ride it was. The weather was fabulous a...

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...

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...

Day Two: Benesov to Tabor, 39.6 miles (64 km), 4h 13m, 2991 (911 m) feet of elevation gain (climbing). After yesterday's realization that it wasn't going to be a nice easy ride to Passau, I gritted my teeth, whined when I needed to vent my frustra...

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...
