Cycling in Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna. This post should be prefaced by stating that, due to poor planning and general bike pickiness, I only had the experience of cycling in Vienna and that even there I only biked for about an hour and a half. A cycle path adjacent to a sidewalk in Munich near the English Garden.

Yesterday I took The New Road. To the hill for some repeat climbs. There was a 25 kph wind from the north-west. Since the road jig-jags north, then east, north again, east, and finally south to the hill, I was treated to a hurting wind both on the way out, and on the return ride. Not all of the time. Just when I was heading north or west.

5 rules for the pain-cave. 3 things I love about cycling. The Minimal Cost of Cycling. Why I only own one bike. The 10 Commandements for Endurance Athletes. A steel bike on a budget. How much sleep do I need? 3 Steps on dealing with an injury.

Memories to last a lifetime. Well, previously, I did not even get this far.

Here is our campsite at the Powell Campground last night. We took a stroll down to the river to check it out, it was pretty neat. On our way to Lolo, my dad decided he wanted a hamburger for lunch.

Vietnam; The Land of Colour. A little about me and this site. 5 years traveling Australia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, Bali, Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

A constant battle against greediness and laziness. Even by my standards this has been a disgracefully overindulgent month. So, not the best preparation for another long and hilly bike ride. Prepping like a pro on my warm up ride. Sun, rain, sun, rain. At times during the race .
