We've ridden our tandem close to 100,000 miles over the past 30 years here in the USA and Europe. We are always up for adventure and love to explore new cultures. We hope to cycle until we can't pedal anymore! We've captured virtually all of our trips from 2006-2023.

We'd then turn west and ride along the distant base of the Pyrenees to Figueres, Olot, then head south to Vic, Monbui, and ultimately Barcelona.

cycling trip to Europe. We enjoyed our
Spanish Camino trip so much, we decided to venture to eastern coast of Spain,
and test our legs in the Costa Brava.
Lovely flight over, and no snags.
The welcome in Miami on our way to Barcelona was great. We finally got some benefits of my 2 million
miles on American and enjoyed the Flagship club there.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqYaL5ny3EuIhlmnU827QLyi-7mIiBeV8ESEs5gviTGkUrh4rrIZ5c7JyPnirqTj_lm7Hv02hFIdw-hoHsaJuLkezuisVutGy0S1rNnOcNXNTVOOee55ZruzRAfYUH_1WVOG0n9R1bsRLrQcnaQqMFJHJ10MavR4mq7aF069d_pKS31p8E5FbO/s4032/IMG_0655.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqYaL5ny3EuIhlmnU827QLyi-7mIiBeV8ESEs5gviTGkUrh4rrIZ5c7JyPnirqTj_lm7Hv02hFIdw-hoHsaJuLkezuisVutGy0S1rNnOcNXNTVOOee55ZruzRAfYUH_1WVOG0n9R1bsRLrQcnaQqMFJHJ10MavR4mq7aF069d_pKS31p8E5FbO/w300-h400/IMG_0655.HEIC" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A great welcome to AA Flagship lounge in Miami</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA48AeEZbW5iPhGL4zoTJwiYpZ3eEKwqmbWNXLF4V6KHS88-vpRqhohU6yzAg64xrlMudY4lMlx7_a8tkJaNoYCAFqxzoUhV1kqLW6CtsLIhX7PgubMbcjd9GzBhG4bo_Ers_m-SqJboutirPGRKw6R0QS-FejSdhZzNoh0Srx5TSvM8TY8Fj/s4032/IMG_0657.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA48AeEZbW5iPhGL4zoTJwiYpZ3eEKwqmbWNXLF4V6KHS88-vpRqhohU6yzAg64xrlMudY4lMlx7_a8tkJaNoYCAFqxzoUhV1kqLW6CtsLIhX7PgubMbcjd9GzBhG4bo_Ers_m-SqJboutirPGRKw6R0QS-FejSdhZzNoh0Srx5TSvM8TY8Fj/s320/IMG_0657.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62kfcz-LUX_xGA8vDsfn2Kf1I4zLCmL88AzwIb-mmoImX49zFTWJXSiiJVqnFrjzOFUF5Gqb-cMvxPv6vQ_5HTVUR0ZVJGl4IOcydhhvpzR9MHXggdAmyfqb_w6Z17gvLAo0x2nmV8taZ5vrgXlzjrc36ibRj2G4e4S9yHL6_dd7FGPmx3Txq/s4032/IMG_0656.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62kfcz-LUX_xGA8vDsfn2Kf1I4zLCmL88AzwIb-mmoImX49zFTWJXSiiJVqnFrjzOFUF5Gqb-cMvxPv6vQ_5HTVUR0ZVJGl4IOcydhhvpzR9MHXggdAmyfqb_w6Z17gvLAo0x2nmV8taZ5vrgXlzjrc36ibRj2G4e4S9yHL6_dd7FGPmx3Txq/w300-h400/IMG_0656.HEIC" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Very nice buffet in the lounge</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4CTJ_-1LhNLNl8uveyuonVRHc0vLj0URDZJQNqv0xcsr7Rl2VzWxo1fyxweKdFVcL4vvzQZQIvDEh-Vo2XR8ty9Xsqtkt7SDRBf9uUKMdVP4bko2xL1lEZwVRl_57U05Gmngo0zFAlIcdhkn66nd-m9d6W8fy5tAtoAG3E5gLbmYMFfb6iFQM/s4032/IMG_0660.HEIC" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4CTJ_-1LhNLNl8uveyuonVRHc0vLj0URDZJQNqv0xcsr7Rl2VzWxo1fyxweKdFVcL4vvzQZQIvDEh-Vo2XR8ty9Xsqtkt7SDRBf9uUKMdVP4bko2xL1lEZwVRl_57U05Gmngo0zFAlIcdhkn66nd-m9d6W8fy5tAtoAG3E5gLbmYMFfb6iFQM/w400-h300/IMG_0660.HEIC" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Off we go to Barcelona!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p class="MsoNoSpacing">9/18- Barcelona transfer to Girona<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A real picturesque ride north along the coast from San Feliu. We headed inland to Parafrugel to visit the
cork museum. Very interesting history of
cork in this area. Pushing a bit east to
the medieval town of Pals. A quaint but touristy
spot. Our hotel for two nights was in Peratallada. We experienced an incredible Catalan meal at
a olive oil and winery that night.

</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">A big climb today and real test for the legs. Before the climb we visited a local pottery
designer in La Bisbal D’Emporda, famous for ceramics.. He gave a great presentation
on the creation of his wares. Maria even got to make a bowl! We

The owner came out to apologize for the shrimp dish and took 70€ off of our bill. A nice gesture.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had pondered cycling the Camino de Santiago for many years and finally decided this was the year. After researching, reading books, and talking to others that have ridden it, we decided to give Experience Plus a shot. In total it would be over 500 miles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This trip would be different. We decided to take a few days before and after the trip to drive and be "regular" tourists. So our trip started in Madrid with a 4 hour drive north to Bilbao for a night, then up the coast to San Sebastian for two nights, then head south to<br />Pamplona for the beginning of our cycling trip. After 12 days of cycling we rented another car and drove south to Porto, Portugal, then east along the Douro river to Quinta de Pacheca then onto Salamanca, Spain, and ending back in Madrid.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A beautiful drive from the airport in Madrid. We crossed countless rocky mountains with beautiful vistas displaying expansive valleys as far as the eye could see. As we neared Bilbao on the northern coast we gained elevation and entered a densely forested area. Spectacular. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bilbao was a bustling city and most known for the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim museum which was our main reason from coming. The museum architecture was stunning as it sat next to the river. The museum visit was a let down, but it did not take away from the scenery. All in all, worth the visit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This town is a major "foodie" destination. They say it has more Michelin star restaurants per capita than any other city in the world. The town is nicely nestled within the shores of the Bay of Biscay in what is called the Bahia de la Concha. To say it's idyllic is an understatement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We enjoyed the many pintxos bars and an excellent one star Michelin restaurant called Kokoxta (pronounced co co sha). We were also introduced to more amazing gins. A return trip to this town is a must. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From San Sebastian we headed back southeast to Pamplona where we met our tour group. A 45 minute van ride to our starting town of Roncesvalles. This quaint Pyrenees village is the official "Spanish" start. We were called pilgrims, or as the Spanish say, <i>"pelegrinos"</i>. We would see hundreds of pilgrims throughout our trip. Some 300,000 people walk, bike, or ride by horseback, the Camino every year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our route would take us over 500 miles, crossing through three main geographic landscapes; the Pyrenees, the Meseta, and Galicia. The Pyrenees are the big mountains to the east that are the border between northeastern Spain and France. We have spent two weeks cycling these giant mountains in 2012. But, on this trip we were lucky to go mostly downhill as we approached Spain's central section, the Meseta. The Meseta translates to "high plains". The is one of the major agricultural areas of Spain. We saw mostly wheat in its young stage, all green. We had imagined this to be flat but boy were we wrong. It was miles of rolling hills. Surprisingly enough, this area actually was one of our most memorable landscapes. The final section was to the west, Galicia. This is west of Leon (about the midpoint), with lush green hills, many of which were very steep, but the views rewarding.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before reaching the region of Galicia we had to cross mountains to reach the summit at O'Cebreiro and cast our stone on the pile of rocks.

The panoramic views at the top were were gorgeous.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two days was perfect in the city of Porto. It was time to continue our adventure east along the Douro river valley driving to Quinta de Pacheca. Quintas are wineries, and this one was special. Besides a fully operational winery, It incorporated a small boutique hotel and a first class restaurant. Truly memorable.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A long hiatus from our blog, but semi-retirement has motivated me to get back into the swing of things!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our first big ride of the year almost killed us, but we managed a tough 70 miles and 3800 ft. of climbing. Conditions were the best we have ever seen for March at this event. Skies were a majestic blue, gorgeous cloud pillows dancing above the velvet green mountains. Truly spectacular.</span><br />

<b><br /></b>
A new adventure this year- Belgium. This is an area we have never visited or ridden in, yet is steeped in cycling, war, and beer brewing history. <br />
<br />
August 6-7- A great flight over and a real treat flying first class from Boston to London; love those lay flat beds and premier cru rose champagne. Once in Brussels we took a 3 hour train ride south to our first night's hotel in Clervaux, Luxembourg in the Ardennes, famous for the battle of the bulge. This quaint village also hosted the UNESCO, Memory of the World, The Family of Man exhibit.<br />

August 8- Clervaux- It was nice to sleep in, but our warm up ride was calling. A short 12 miles and over 1,000 feet of climbing was a rude wake up call. Welcome to Wallonia…<br />
<br />
August 9- Our first real day of riding took us from Clervaux to the famous Achouffe brewery for our first beer tasting. This famous brewery is known for it's gnome mascot. This was a crowded, lively place, but the beers were good. From here we rode rolling hills through farmland and forests to our lunch stop in La Roche en Ardenne. A bustling tourist spot full of motorcycles, mountain bikes and a castle. We were glad to stop and consumed a great pizza and half bottle of rose wine before completing our ride to Marcourt. Tonight we will enjoy another beer tasting and a good night's rest.<div class="blogger-post-footer">This blog is my personal property. Mess with it and I'll mess you up.

Our two week adventure began with a nice flight to Basel, Switzerland, then a 45 minute van ride to our hotel in Delemont, Switzerland. We stayed in this hotel fiver years ago on our Jura mountains trip. This valley is surrounded by heavily forested mountains and miles of rolling grazing lands for the local cattle. </div>

<div>
Bike assembly is always tedious especially after 12 hours of flying.All went together well except my botched tire change resulting in a pinched tube.</div>

A short "tune up" ride was planned for today; 35 miles and 2500 feet of climbing. While the altitude is virtually negligible, the grade are steep as hell. My Garmin flashed 15% at one point...brutal! But with the steepness came beauty and the gorge du pichoux was another example of why this area is some rewarding to ride.</div>

Delemont to Thann-<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nice climb out of the gate through Soyhiere to Hippolts
kirch. It was a semi cloudy start with
reasonable temperatures. Being our first
real day out after a few 30 milers it took a while to get our legs under
us. Only a few of us decided to take the
long route today. Once into France we
rode through village after village of cute and very clean Alsatian towns, all
almost looking the same with their tutor style trimmed homes. Our first lunch at a small restaurant filled
with locals in Dannemarie; 5.50 euro, light sausage with salad and Maria’s nice
mixed salad with meats. Our final climb
of the day was longer than expected. We
found a nice short cut on the decent that lead us right to our hotel next to
the park in Thann. BTW, the FDJ team
stayed our hotel two days earlier. Very
cool.</div>

Thann to Riquewihr<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The weather was picture perfect with warming blue
skies. Today we would climb the famous
Col du Grand Ballon. We backed into the
middle of this col by climbing the supposedly easier col de Amic- not so. Great conversation at the summit with a local
French rider who said that locals claim if you can climb the Ballon you can
climb anything in France. This was no
easy climb as we rode up with riders Germany and France. We were the first to the top at over 3,000
vertical and the day had just started!
We again opted for the long route which only a few others selected as
well. A short descent led us along one
of the most scenic ridgeline rides we have ever done; lakes and valleys on one
side and beautiful rural farms on the other.
Lunch was enjoyed at a local auberge de ferme- farm house. There were only locals here and all German,
no English. We pointed to an entrée on another table; cast iron pot of potatoes
and ham with a beautiful salad verte, perfectly hardy and filling. We would need it for the remaining climbs
into our final vineyard laden destination on the valley floor at Riquewihr.<o:p></o:p></div>

No riding today. It
was time to taste the local wines in our quaint but tourist ridden village of
Riquewihr. Good wines, with our
favorites being the the Reislings and Cremants, all very reasonably priced even
for their grand crus. We found an entertaining local artist that had some
beautiful local paintings all done on copper plates. We purchased a lovely landscape of the Colmar
area very reminiscent of the areas that we have ridden.<o:p></o:p><br />

A cool start to a hot day of climbing. Fortunately we rode through many forests but
the climbing seemed like a constant 8-10% all day. We hit our groove in the early afternoon,
probably as a result of skipping our normal big lunch. Traditional Alsatain climbing; forests, good
roads, pebbly descents. All in all
another big day. A typical Saturday evening party in tour complete with a live band. Crazy.<br />

Our “rest day” ended being a short mileage, big climb to the
Mont St. Odile monastery. It was another
beautiful climb up the forested mountain that averaged 8%+. Dramatic vistas at the top where you could
see for miles even with the light rain that descended upon us. It was time to head back. A tricky, technical descent with wet
roads. Fortunately we had brought our
“light” rain gear set up for this ride.

There is nothing like starting the day in the rain. You can never get psychologically set to ride
in the rain. Fortunately the conditions
were not too bad. The rain was light and
all of our 4,000 feet of climbing was in beautiful forests. No “on the road” pictures today. We hoped for a shot of the castle in Dabo,
but it was in the clouds. We were just focused
on getting this day’s ride over with.
Riding with our tandem pals from Salt Lake City, Arden and Becky
helped. They rarely ever ride the long
rides but chose to today. They are great
climbers! <o:p></o:p></div>

La Petite-Pierre to St. Die des Vosges</div>
<div>
A perfect start to the day with a 6 mile descent from our hotel. We savor these! There was much discussion the night before about riding the "forest" roads which we agreed to do along with 8 others. What an adventure! We rice for about 10 miles on a perfectly paved single lane road through the woods. m The road decided to climb and I mean climb; 10-12%. At the top the road turned to direct and the real fun began. Dirt and rooks for about 6 miles. I took all my concentration and riding skills to man our "sled" in these conditions. We survived along with our good friend Alan and George. Unfortunately just before the pavement appeared again we flatted. It was not good. A rock had slit our side wall and we went through two tubes before we figured it out. No need to panic. Alan came back to check on us and loaned us a tube. We made it to the van stopped at the top of the pass. A nice lunch, then I noticed my fix to the slit tire did not work. There was an extra tire in the van and atet a quick change we were back on the road. This turned out to be a long day, but what an adventure!<br />

St. Die des Vosges to Gerardmer<br />
We decided to take the medium length route today, but it was still no walk in the park. We rode with our tandem pals Arden and Becky. They set a brisk steady climbing pace. We worked our way up a beautiful valley passing small ski resorts and hotels. We made it to the summit at the Col de Falimont and were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful log cabin restaurant ready to greet us for lunch. This was a plush spot. What the heck. Little English was spoken here, but we managed to order some nice salads and soups, a great bottle of wine and we were off descending! Wand, what a descent it was almost all the way to Gerardmer, beautiful lakeside summer resort town. After getting temporarily lost in the city we found our hotel just across the street from the casino! The rooms were small but we had two days here and we were ready to relax.<br />

July 25-<br />
Gerardmer rest day<br />
That's right another rest day! This was a picturesque spot, so we decided to walk around the lake and wing it for lunch. Good call! The walk around the lake was a little more technical than we thought it would be. There was about a one mile section where we had to negotiate major tree roots, rocks, etc. It was all worth it with the lunch we had at the west end of the lake on a small hillside hotel. A great day!<br />

7/6- Departed for Madrid via Toronto on Air Canada. We enjoy our first business class “pod” with
full lay down beds! The food was a bit
of a let down but overall a decent experience.<o:p></o:p></div>

7/7- Landed in Madrid and used “left baggage” for the first
time to store the bike boxes. A few
minor translation issues but we were successful and a major load was left
behind. After some research it looked
like our hotel was very near one of the metro stops so we embraced this form of
public transportation. After negotiating
all of the terminals we found the metro station and were off. I had uploaded the metro map as a pdf onto my
phone and it worked like a charm. We had
three different train changes but all were easy to negotiate. The metro was clean and efficient; pretty
impressive. We finally landed less than
a block from our hotel. Perfecto!<o:p></o:p></div>

Weather was HOT, around 100F. We were tired so a mutual decision was made
to eat in the hotel restaurant. After
consuming a bottle of crisp white verdejo wine we had the specialty of the
house, gambas and of course a plate of Iberico jamon (pronounced ham-on). We took a quick stroll around to get our
bearings then crashed out for 12 hours ready to attack the next day.<o:p></o:p></div>

7/8- Up at 7:30,w ay before most Spaniards, we consumed a
great “desayuno” (breakfast) in our hotel.
If you like ham, this was the place; three different ones. I was in “hog” heaven! We decided to head out to the Sofia
contemporary art museum which was about a 20 minute walk from our hotel. A great museum which featured a special
exhibition of works by surrealist Salvatore Dali. This guy had some imagination. Not only out there but his work had
incredible detail. The museum also
featured works by other famous artists including interesting works by Picasso
in his “dark” era that we had never seen.

It was recommended that we visit the Mercado San Miguel; a
building that housed many small food stalls all under one roof. We enjoyed so nice wine, gazpacho, ceviche,
and of course a jamon sandwich. We ate
next to some Brits which brought a refreshing air of friendliness. Fun time.<o:p></o:p></div>

For dinner, which we started early around 8 pm we ventured
out to the street Cava Baja which was lined with tapas restaurants. We were overwhelmed. We tried a few but enjoyed La Campilla which
ended up being the friendliest place on our entire visit. Bottom line, tapas is overrated.<o:p></o:p></div>

7/9- Another great morning breakfast, then off to the city
bus tour. Madrid offered so much more
beauty that we had experienced in our little area near Plaza Mayor. We determined Madrid had three distinct areas
all very different. The tour with
recorded narration was worth every penny.

We decided to take the recommendation from our hotel and eat
at a famous local place called El Senador, across from a major political
office. The restaurant is famous for its
roast suckling lamb. Out of this world. The lamb was preceded by a delicious gazpacho
with all the accouterments then a roasted pepper and anchovies salad with the
lamb. A fabulous Temparnillo accompanied
all this, truly a great meal. It was so
good we headed back to our hotel for a four-hour siesta!!<o:p></o:p></div>

It was a beautiful city but very hot in the summer
time. Be prepared for a major schedule
change with late nights; tough for us to acclimate. The people were not overly friendly;
something that I was surprised about.
The food was a bit of a let down, but the hams were over the top great, salads were minimal. France, we

<b>7/10- Geneva</b><br />
Enough eating, drinking and sleeping, it was now time to ride. We flew from Madrid to Geneva to start our "pre" trip riding. The airport in Madrid is enormous consisting of four terminals, all of which we very modern. It was a nice two hour flight to Geneva where we were met at the airport and shuttled to our hotel right in the downtown only a few blocks from the lake. We enjoyed our first lunch in the hotel; shrimp salad and rose. Tres bon. The weather was magnificent, high 70's and a light breeze.<br />

Tonight would be our first gathering with the group which we learned would be about 60 couples. The dinner was held at Hotel Edelweiss. We were told that we'd be enjoying a fondue meal but it turned out to be a healthily portion of scalloped potatoes (bah) and had some seriously corny entertainment. It didn't stop us from meeting several great new friends from Canada and Tennessee.</div>

<b><u>7/11- Geneva ride</u></b><br />
Finally our first day of riding which took us along the western shore of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) to Nyon. We had cycled this route several times before, each time with beautiful views of the lake. The ride was an up and back, nothing strenuous. We visited a nice little museum just off the lake before lunch. On the way home we enjoyed a tour of a chocolate factory and informative explanation of the process in making decorative chocolates. <br />

A nice evening, but tomorrow we would encounter a 70+ mile ride to the "official" start of the tour on the river Saone.<br />
<br />
<b><u>7/12- Ride to Tournus</u></b> <br />
We had never experienced being bused anywhere for a bike ride. We drove for what seemed like forever across the Swiss border into France. Our start was at a truck stop of all places. With GPS in hand we were off. After a somewhat crazy start we settled into idylic country roads following a river west. Using the GPS was a challenge and we struggled to say the least.<br />

Having ridden 74 miles and climbed 3,800 feet we were 25 miles south of our destination city! Thank God for cell phones. We placed a call and had the van come pick us up to take us to the boat. A first for the Williams. Not our idea of a happy ride ending. But, the boat was a welcome site and a few cocktails put us at ease and all was forgotten.<br />

<b><u>7/13- The ride to Beaune through the vineyards</u></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our ride to Beaune was fabulous as we rode the Route de Gran
Vins through some of the most famous vineyards in France; Montrachet, Pommard
and many others. The terrain was
deceiving as many of the roads wound up and down the hillsides. Once in Beaune we parked our bikes and walked
into the inner village and enjoyed an amazing wine tasting. This was Saturday and “market day” which
meant lots of people. We had one of our
few French lunches on the trip, enjoying it with two great tandem riders from
Missouri. It was there first trip to
Europe. We had a blast with them.<o:p></o:p></div>

morning was Macon. Our goal today was to

<b><u>7/16- Mt. Ventoux to Avignon</u></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This epic day started out with a bus ride to Bedoin. There was a lot of anticipation on the bus by
those who had never ridden this famed climb.
Bedoin was crowded with all the left overs from the Toru de France that
passed through here just two days before.
We had ridden Ventoux before but from the eastern side from Sault. The Bedoin route was really steep and one of
the toughest first 8 miles we’ve ever done.
The 8-14% grade was relentless.
We stopped only once at Chalet Reynard, then pushed on to the
“sommet”. What a zoo at the top. There were hundreds of people; we could
hardly ride. The descent was a blast as we diced it out with a French guy on a
single bike at 45-50 mph. Once at the
bottom the temperatures rose to 100 degrees!
The 45 miles back to the boat was
rolling and a slug fest. All in all a
big day; 54 miles and 5400 feet climbed. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With two days left, we finally got our Garmin gps working
well. Today’s ride took us through some
nice countryside farms on our way to St. Remy to see the sanitarium that Van
Gogh lived in. We ended up there an hour
before our tour started so we look through the fence at the stone relics and
decided to ride on with another impatient rider on our trip. The landscaped changed and we proceeded up a
great climb with loads of rock formations surrounding us. The summit was our next destination, Les Baux
de Provence, a fort/castle like structure built into the mountain. What looked interesting turned into a big,
crowded tourist attraction. Time to move
on and taste olive oil. A nice little
olive oil coop, but nothing spectacular, time to roll to the boat.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our final day of riding to an area I’ve always wanted to
ride. The Camargue is a vast wetlands
area the runs into the Mediterranean. It
is famous for its display of pink flamingos and wild horses. Believe it or not we actually saw some pink
flamingos. This was the most exciting
part of some of the most boring riding we’ve ever done. I feel sorry for those people that have to
ride in Florida. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For
years we have wondered what it would be like to cycle the Pyrenees, so this
year we have made it a reality. Landing in Pau on July 4th we would
venture out on a two-week adventure that would take us over many of the famous
Tour de France "cols" and dipping us into Spain. This grand
circuit would be destined to tax us but the ultimate reward was the adventure
itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We rolled out from Pau on a cloudy morning and not more than ½ mile down the road our front tire blew up. Great start. The entire group had to stop while we changed the tire then off we went. With testosterone flying high we climbed over 3,000 feet before hitting the base of the famous Col d’Aubisque. This was a relentless climb that was our toughest ever. The reward was a fog-laden summit. The descent was cold and wet but the next climb, the Col d’Soulor brought incredible green valley vistas making it all worthwhile. The day’s totals were one of the biggest we have ever done with over 7,300 vertical feet of climbing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The “tour” was easy on us to day, or so we
thought. A mere 22 miles but over 3,000
feet of climbing up a beautiful gorge to the small ski village of Gavarnie, at
over 4,000 feet elevation. From here we
did a short hike to view the famous “Cirque de Gavarine”, a gorgeous semi
circular shaped group of mountains with a thousand foot waterfall coming from
the top, truly spectacular. Great meal
at our small hotel, roasted veal and the local Bearn wines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This was the day we all had feared yet were
ready to suffer through, the climb up the Col d’Tourmalet. It was 50% longer than the Col d’Aubisque but
surprisingly forgiving up until the last kilometer where the Garmin registered
grades of 13-16%. It was clearing as we
hit the summit but after a few quick pictures we headed down in treacherous
conditions of heavy fog, roads caked with cow manure and “animanux liberte”,
freeing ranging animals. Just before Le
Mongie about halfway down out of nowhere appeared a dozen large cows in the
middle of the road. Cold and wet we made
it to the village of Campan for a hot beverage.
It had been a long day already and we still had a picnic lunch and the
Col d’Hourquette d’Ancizan to climb. A
memorable day and another 7,000+ feet of climbing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After our worst breakfast on the trip we
started climbing right out of the gate up the Col d’Azet, another one of this
year’s TDF climbs. While steep, it
afforded incredible views of the mountains that we had climbed over the day
before and the green velvet covered mountains ahead. At the summit, it was crystal clear and we
could see across the valley to our next climb the famous Col
d’Peyresourde. The Pyresourde started
out as our friend but as always it tortured us at the top. We were rewarded with a tasty omelet of
“jambon et fromage” and frites with our favorite French “moutarde”. The descent down the Peyresourde was FAST and
clear for once. Our final destination
would be in Gesset, a small village in the middle of nowhere with a lovely
three star hotel with a true gourmet meal, tres bon! <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was time to ride after a rest day so we
reviewed the map and decided to make a run to Spain through Bossost and then
climb the Col d’Portillon back into France to Bagneres d’Luchon. This ended up being one of the best rides of
the trip. It started with a 15 mile slight
descent down a beautiful canyon into Spain.
The Col d’Portillon was taxing but not over the top as we climbed
through pine trees to the summit at a
little over 4,000 feet. It was foggy at
the top but not too wet as we sped to our pizza lunch stop in Bagneres de Luchon. This city is the finish for the TDF stage out
of Pau and will be the deciding stage of this year’s tour.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

end. Today looked like it would be easy
compared to the many cols we had already climbed as we headed west over the Col
des Palomieres to Lourdes where we had a magnificent vista of the valley ahead. Lourdes is the city famous for its healing
waters. The city was filled with people
in wheelchairs and a bit depressing, yet to many it brings hope. The small road through the “Foret de Lourdes”
was an adventure in and of itself. It
was one long day and our hotel situated in a lovely agricultural valley was a
welcome relief.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today we would tackle the Col de Marie
Blanque. This climb was unique as it
averaged only 5% but most was 8-10% with a beautiful flat section near the
top. Climbing it afforded views of the
Aubisque and the other jagged peaks to the south. Many decided to ride up the Aubisque and
Soulor from the other sides, but one Col was enough for us. The descent was the fastest of the trip at 53
mph. Unfortunately the road surface was
a little rough or we might have set a new top speed record! Lunch landed us at a great wood fired (feu de
bois) pizza place in the village of Asap, then on to Oloron St. Marie for two
days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were very excited to ride into Spain. But, we didn’t expect what may have been the
most difficult climb of the entire trip, the Col de Pierre St. Martin. This climb had several “triple chevrons” with
grades at 15%+. It was relentless. At one point about 2K from our lunch stop
near the top we stopped and Maria walked and I rode. Tough, tough, tough. Our lunch stop was great as the hosts bought several
rotisserie chickens from a few villages back and we feasted hoping to gain
enough strength to finish the climb and blast the 26K decent into Isaba. Spain’s roads were the best of the trip;
perfectly clean and well engineered. The
last 26K went by in a flash as we raced to our hotel ready for a well deserved
beer. Our hotel was quite modern but the
food was a let down. We were expecting so much more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

we had descended the day before. The
grades today were kind to us. We topped
the first Spanish col at Laza with smiles on our face knowing that this day
would be easy compared to the one before.
We decided to make a lunch stop in the village of Auritz for a true
Basque lunch, which was memorable on many fronts. One more climb through Roncesvalles, an
important city on the Camino de Santiago, the religious trek across Spain to
Santiago de Compostella, then a lovely descent into St. Jean Pied de Port. We would spend two nights here and enjoy
another day of rest.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sleeping in was a real luxury today in our
most posh hotel of the trip, a Relais & Chateaux hotel, Les Pyrenees. These were easily four star digs with hands
down the most extravagant meals of the trip.
Truly first class. We walked
around the village, shopped and of course had a great lunch of whole Durade
fish and a trout ceviche. Yumm. Tomorrow would be our last day of riding back
to Pau.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many decided to take the more difficult
route, which retraced a road, we had previously ridden in the opposite
direction. We opted for the other
flatter route. As it turned out the more
difficult route took the riders up 20% grades and hot road tar. We made the right call. The beginning of the day was gorgeous with
blue skies and mild temperatures that would shortly heat up to 100
degrees. We rode a few small cols just
savoring this last day of riding. We
rode back through Oloron where we had stayed two days and quickly found a cool,
air-conditioned restaurant for lunch. Recuperating
from the heat and watching the Tour on TV, our stomachs were full so we pushed
on wanting this hot day to be over. At
7K outside of Pau we took the side road and were tortured with the unexpected heat
and climbing. What was supposed to be 4,000
feet of climbing ended up being over 5,000.
Not to mentioned getting lost on the way back to the hotel. We were done.
Trip accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span><br />

tour de France and suffered on others that have never been mentioned. The pure beauty of the Pyrenees was unmatched
by any other mountain riding we’ve done.
Just when you swore at the step grades, you sat up and were in awe of
the green velvet mountainsides and the jagged rocky peaks, truly spectacular
and memorable. Tres bon, l’amour Les
Pyrenees.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>

It was a 35 minute drive to the lakeside paradise of Cernobbio just north of Como. It was a little rainy but who cares when its day one on your vacation.<br />

<b><u>8/8 Monday-</u></b> Building the bike the day before I ran into the owner of Lake Como Cycling, Pietro, who was the one that actually planned our daily routes. His spent some time with us reviewing each of the upcoming days. He recommended a nice ride up the Valle di Muggio which we tackled. A good introduction to the steep mountains that we would encounter in days to come. All in all 35 miles and 3,087 feet climbed.<br />

8/8- Tuesday- This was the official day one of the tour as we headed out for our first ride around Lake Lugano. The first 10 miles were over 1,000 feet of climbing and we weren't even to the lake. Once there we experienced beautiful lakeside roads with minimal traffic. Don't think it was flat just because there was a lake nearby. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;"><a href="http://connect.garmin.com/activity/105402843#.TkvDXY9X8XM.blogger">Cernobbio - Lake Lugano loop by willshtb at Garmin Connect - Details</a></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is the official first day of the tour. Our group numbers 26 riders, three of which are tandems. We leave the picturesque coast for the inland mountains. We climbed the other side of the col de grandello across more scub like mountain ranges to St. Marie Sicche. Here we began to see pines and a real mountain feel. The final climb to the small village of Zicavo (famous for its salami and sausage) was really steep and we were ready for a rest after 51 miles and 5174 feet climbed. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's nothing like starting out of the gate on a big climb to get you in the "suffering" mood for the day. The only saving grace was the idyllic small mountain villages that dotted the mountains as we rode. This day saw plenty of pine filled forests before riding the main hwy from Venaco to Corte. Corte (pronounced CORT) is set at the base of the Gorges de Tavignanno. This gorge winds its way 9 miles up a rocky canyon and 3,000 additional feet of elevation. It's quite spectacular as was our hotel. Today's stats- 51 miles and 5108 feet climbed.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The climb out of Corte was nice, not too steep and we enjoyed maybe the best descent of the trip from Castrilla. We then tackled scala di St. Regina, a long rocky, dry gorge that seemed as though it would never end. Once at the summit we moved into another forest. I think this is what makes Corsica such a dramatic place to visit and ride. Porto is a beautiful little town right on the Med with it's own "mini" harbor.

The coastal road from Porto to Calvi was one of the best of the trip. After an hour of climbing we got hit hard with rain and wind in gale force proportions. We holed up in the small village of Partinello hoping to wait out the storm but learned that would not happen. We pressed on riding through literal rivers coming off of the mountains. Within an hour the sky was as blue as ever and we enjoyed a truly spectacular ride into Calvi.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another picture perfect day leaving Calvi. This would be a day of incredible varied terrain from ocean roads to the "desert". We quickly began climbing to the small village of Montegrosso. It was steeper than we thought, close to 15% in some sections. We proceeded to work our way northeast through tiny inland roads to Belgodere then decided to take the long route through Novella. Our tandem partners Alan and Lisa joined us. The area around Novella was something out of the AZ desert. Not much but cows and scrub trees. This big "U" turn took us back to the main hwy D81. Our last climb, the Bocca di Vezzu was our strongest effort of the trip. It was a beautiful ridge road that wound its way to the final 40 mph descent into St. Florent and a two day rest for us. We were ready. Daily stats- 71 miles, 4725 feet climbed.</span><br />

We passed and did the lovely 35 mile ride to the east of town on roads that wound the hillsides and small villages. We had a great lunch at what we Americans would call a "pool club". All in all a very delightful day and perfect weather.</span><br />

It was only 13 miles as the crow flies but our route took us 48 miles and 4416 feet climbed. We are still kicking ourselves for not stopping in to visit Orezza where they make the refreshing sparkling water we drank EVERYDAY. Make sure you never ask for Perrier in Corsica, it must be <a href="http://www.orezza.fr/corse/frame.htm">Orezza</a>. We crossed a number of mountains to find ourselves back in familiar territory in Corte. After a great lunch in town we made our way to the hotel where I had new found energy and took our friend Jenny's single bike solo up the Gorge du Tavignano, 8.8 miles and 2,936 feet. A great ride on Jenny's new DeSalvo Ti S&S bike. This was one of the biggest day's I have ever done totaling 57 miles and over 7,000 feet climbed.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was a lot of hype for today's ride. We would ascend the Col de Bavella, Corsica's biggest climb and a VERY popular tourist attraction. We climbed 4,000 vertical feet from the ocean to the top in 20 miles. The last five miles was an 8-12% grade, really tough. We compared this climb to our ascent up the col de Bonette, the highest paved pass in Europe, in 2008. We think this was harder. Once at the top we assumed it would be downhill all the way to the west coast town of Propriano. NOT!!! Glenn wound us around more mountains including a few dirt roads. A great adventure but we were beat at the end of the day. Thank goodness we would be staying at this hotel on beach for two nights. Today's stats, 56 miles and 6,594 feet climbed.</span><br />

We had a great meal the night before at Capprico's in Ventura with our good friends Patrick and Adrian Henry. Nice thin crust pizza and a magnificent shrimp pasta, not to mention the two bottles of Laetitia Pinot Noir.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were welcomed at 7:45am with a nice tailwind as we headed up up 101 towards our first climb just outside of Carpenteria. We climbed steadily into the Montecito foothills and followed a sweet road along the mountain ridge for miles, reminding us a lot of our Provence trip, before dropping back down into N. Santa Barbara. The lunch stop was out in Goleta near UCSB. A quick buffet sandwich lunch and we were back on the road heading west of the freeway into Hope Ranch and Cabrillo Drive down to the Harbor. This was a gorgeous section of riding. We flew all the way home down 101 dragging almost every able single bike rider that could sustain a 25-30 mph pace. All in all one of our better efforts; 104 miles, 16.7 mph average and 4,300 feet of climbing.</span><br />

The ride starts in a lovely suburban neighborhood and immediately puts you into the "hurt locker" with an 8% grade leveling to 5-7%. It winds up the mountain for 10 miles. All the rain we had received in prior months paid off with more greenery than I've seen in years. The views were spectacular in every direction; the mighty San Gabriels to the north, downtown Los Angeles to the west, Mt. Saddleback to the south, and snow capped Mt. Baldy to the east.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

The first half of the 22 miles and 4300 feet total of climbing was slow and steady. The second half proved about the same but a BROKEN CHAIN at mile 17 tried to take us out. Luckily I had a chain tool and was able to repair it. Once at the summit we had a fast 7 mile descent at 45-50 mph. The total loop was 40 miles.

We arrived in Portland at 10:45pm on Friday night and proceed directly to a great local brew pub minutes from Mark's house. After a beer and a salad it was time to build the "beast". We finally hit the sack at 1:45am hoping to catch a few hours sleep before our departure to Mt. Adams for riding on Sat.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">After a 2 hour car trip we started just north of BZ Corners, WA. Mark chose a fabulous 50+ mile loop and 2500 feet of climbing. We could not have timed it better for weather; mid 70's to 80, clear, and light wind. We essentially rode the base of Mr. Adams admiring the 14,000 foot snow cap peak from a number of vistas. We bought a 3 lb. piece of fresh Chinook salmon from some local Indians for only $7! What a feast.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">We hooked up on day two with another friend from our first trip, Ron, a 73 year old that would put most people in their 30's to shame with his strength. Ron lives on Sauvie Island just 20 minutes north of Portland. Another 50+ mile day, but of course more climbing, about 3,300 feet worth. The views were spectacular. We were all pretty spent but managed a 20 mph average around the island and back for a cool one.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJnK2jhVbruAlX1AO3mT076b637Uv6VcEvaDViMEhkaTGCJLRsdzR-xJ9pInj9p8IaauDnGr84afWmXLlcRmedAn5Ke-Ihil8UW86IeQMm2qQ9LA9fpkesjsk5n-T6Gdvs6Er/s320/Rocky+Pt+climb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473453868269614946" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUCunZnAZm3gALwMd2kODfIKDSNB4jqsqLfY3KIqsSlFM1YNtlD2aatzGgfOSRJEwpUwFY1C-zb3aYdJXRgAJbFdSTv2D2XWxx7Q7svpWKIxusqCDIQIvbEEAHdwrb2lN8e9-Y/s320/Rocky+Pt+overlook.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473453452146380834" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This blog is my personal property.

What a great decision even though it was 68 miles and 4500 feet of climbing. We climbed for "cols" in what proved to be a magnificent day. Only 6 of the 20 rode the long route. The biggest challenge of the day was navigating through Geneva and the thousands of people out for a big festival. Fortunately Les knew the ins and outs and got us safely back.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEccWAnATx6DgKC0UXMH3IG2l1NtdsiHsem2hqVn1BE3ey7QuqWR8CvKbvoZQvcnuU1iZRzPa-urlw6zW-oynMVzUat-ShNqfDx1K4sZu3GrEaPS8Z16kNnZwcBYFF2ZP4fWtu/s400/IMG_0857.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386278936067585538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>A beautiful French mountain chalet</i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIJ3if-pqEt7bE_4jTRpwixypDbB6elJbOBgJQO0Y8LQQ2JA87uI1UajXKoIC4wLFQRshOpnk8wmJicgct2jhMTIB6pzLXLtVajVqCstISv00fQVMW_i-NYRx_fHCXi1hAKeN/s400/IMG_0858.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386278939468511826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>The road down the valley.

Boy, what a difference in the roads; not as steep, more water fountains, and better food. We almost felt like we were home. What wasn't like home was another day of rain. We climbed the col du Pillon in the pourng rain, then descended the Col de la Croix. This was a wicked, winding descent full of turns filled wtih cars and massive buses. They were doing road work so we got right in the lane with the cars. It was over 13 miles down.

This was a journey we had been looking forward to the entire trip. Today's route would take us through the towns of Thun and Interlaken. We were hoping to ride by the hotel where our daughter was conceived 22 years ago, but the weather would prove otherwise! At he top of the major climb at Schallenberg Strasse we hit a major rain storm. This was unfortunate because the descent was magnificent all the way to Thun at the edge of the Thunder See. We were beyond soaked after descending at nearly 40 mph. Thank goodness for disc brakes.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">We decided enough was enough, and after a short conference with our tandem pals Les and Sue, we headed straight for the train station. Finally shelter and the opportunity to dry out. We weren't there 30 minutes when the "posse" rolled in, wet and cold as well. They were so happy to see us there. After coffee and hot chocolate we had a blast on the hour train ride to Grindelwald. What we thought would be a terrible day turned out to be one of our most fun!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Today we would ride 43 miles and 3100 feet of climbing to Kemmeriboden. We were definitely in more mountainous terrain now as we slowly made our way into higher alpine mountains. For the first time Maria and I learned what it was like to really ride in the rain and be wet. Fortunately it was not cold but being wet most of the day wasn't our idea a a great time. But, the scenery got prettier and prettier.

The descent lead us to the town of Balsthal. We were clearly in the German speaking part of Switzerland now. Just before entering the main part of town I saw a great looking restaurant so we swung in. What a great surprise. The place was owned by a woman from Kenya and she made us one of their specials, a spicy shrimp dish with some very interesting spices. Very cool.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Ja2N5KBI8I9d8nZDXJRsYWrOycdN0S95USIGaBmg__Wsw9-adSgENOE3rx4XF6o8RhigBiw4FnuaP1vb8whNGFASXHu20-RrhrS0xLpP2H4mHge1HrjAXIBd7QFaDC4VEh28/s1600-h/IMG_0747.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Ja2N5KBI8I9d8nZDXJRsYWrOycdN0S95USIGaBmg__Wsw9-adSgENOE3rx4XF6o8RhigBiw4FnuaP1vb8whNGFASXHu20-RrhrS0xLpP2H4mHge1HrjAXIBd7QFaDC4VEh28/s400/IMG_0747.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375902821306956034" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The restaurant in Balsthal</span></i></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXk_vG_4mNq3TZqUHruzVKoQOAtCWFJCsh7pqe04ng-o0EiSiTfJPkSRWrdZI0beVMvA8_POGJa5vYiBBcbKbLzzUYMDVkDttaQt7YyByGZjVAP-SvXXNXqEN95fOWcQsbmEa/s1600-h/IMG_0745.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXk_vG_4mNq3TZqUHruzVKoQOAtCWFJCsh7pqe04ng-o0EiSiTfJPkSRWrdZI0beVMvA8_POGJa5vYiBBcbKbLzzUYMDVkDttaQt7YyByGZjVAP-SvXXNXqEN95fOWcQsbmEa/s400/IMG_0745.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375902815930360306" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Our African inspired shrimp dish</span></i></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5X442Lv7mwv9Amryk-rXmpFxid7SPVX7wHaj6rri2-bUvD8cnjzOZVwBVXsKQ7S1HfTk7O7lkBcf79CPN7OoztX6ViuYnBaiXOAXG_RdoogcVPfigPHi-DNo6bFQ3FjpqiqoD/s1600-h/IMG_0744.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5X442Lv7mwv9Amryk-rXmpFxid7SPVX7wHaj6rri2-bUvD8cnjzOZVwBVXsKQ7S1HfTk7O7lkBcf79CPN7OoztX6ViuYnBaiXOAXG_RdoogcVPfigPHi-DNo6bFQ3FjpqiqoD/s400/IMG_0744.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375902811008469746" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Lunchtime map review by the "captains"..."Where the "F" are we??"</span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;">After lunch we made haste to Burgdorf through many tiny farming villages.
