We had a bit of a late start this morning. We spent last night on BC time, wide awake when we should have been sleeping. It feels good to be out in the country, though EuroVelo 3 isn’t fully developed yet. One section of the trail was closed, and we had to push our bikes… Continue reading

We left our truck at Kurt’s in Kerrisdale and rode our bikes the short and easy half-hour ride to YVR. Down hill most of the way, and on either cycle way or good bike lanes. Thanks Vancouver! We’d allowed ourselves 3-1/2 hours to check in with the bikes, but it wasn’t quite enough. The agent… Continue reading

Km 1369- 62 km today (todays?) This was a very long day! We were all packed up with time to spare before heading to the Frankfurt airport, the hunt was on for our last chocolate filled pastry. The town was so small, there didn’t appear to be a bakery! The hunt was still on. Exploring… Continue reading

Km 1248- 35km today We are spending the night in a campsite across the Rhine from the city of Mainz. The walk is about 2 1/2 km to the main tourist area, or about 1/2 km swim directly across the river. It’s a nice view of the city as the sun goes down,  sitting here… Continue reading

Lots of novice riders that are very young. I love how many families are enjoying there time… Continue reading

Km 1074- 14 km today Now for something completely different. After input from various sources we decided to make a change. Today we took the trains, all 4 of them, from Speyer to Bonn. Well, not exactly. We bought tickets to Cologne, but after talking to a woman on the train we opted to get… Continue reading

Km 1060- 73km today We had a delayed start to the day today. Everything was packed except the tent, and it started to rain. Like everyone else we retreated to our tent to wait it out. Breakfast was apples and trail mix… we made up for this Spartan meal later 🙂 After about a half… Continue reading
