40 miles of great roads.

Always happy following a river

Weather holding, long may that continue ..

Sorry may have misled, this was in June last year, but I thought I’d put it up as live as it were.

I can bore you over a longer period then rather than post 28 days at once :okay

Enjoy anyway, and thanks for the good wishes :okay
 
Day 4

Merzig to Stutgart via the Vosges France.

230 miles.

Amazing roads all day towards colmar then back north west towards Stuttgart.

Weather amazing, too amazing at times. Steady 30 all day, highest I saw was 32.

Stopped at the only concentration camp in France. They’ve done a great job in memoria.

Crossed the Vosges black Forrest gap via a small free ferry then east along northern bit of black Forrest and onwards.

Some properly amazing roads, in another holiday inn so that’s breakfast lunch and dinner sorted for tomorrow with me applying my finest “buffet bandit” skills at breakfast tomorrow.

Plan tomorrow is to head south east skirting Bodensee and the great escape film locations and onwards to Austria to hopefully end up at the timmelschoch pass by evening.

Oh via a decathlon as I haven’t brought enough y fronts

I’ll let the pics do the talking …

Stay in outside lane regardless of exit required.

On no account use any orange directional intention aides :okay

I think it might be this ferry that I had no idea I was heading to on my way from Baden-Baden to Reims last year.

Tip top I was looking at one up by Karlsruhe but that works a treat, can’t beat a ferry ��
 
Happiest sound in world, a bike riding up a ramp
