I know that feeling of panic. At least once on every tour I'll walk out of a building and my bike is gone. Then I look around, hoping I might see the culprit riding off with it. Then I try to think where else I might have left it, and of course there it is. I hope to never experience an actual stolen bike situation while on tour. I hope nobody does.
3 years agoI’m starting to feel guilty about the exceptional luck we’re having with weather on this tour so far. And thanks again for steering us down this way - we’re indebted to you. Dinner’s on us next time.
3 years agoWow, you got good weather! It is such a great ride, I'm so glad you liked it. I was afraid that I had been a bit too insistent that this stretch is a must on the Alpe-Adria path.
3 years agoHard to quarrel with your routing decision. Such a hard choice - autumn in France and Iberia, or one further east? We’re enjoying following along with yours also, being reminded that it’s been entirely too long since we’ve spent a season in France.

3 years agoI’m glad the yeti is hard to find.
3 years agoLots to learn in the world! The more I know, the more I know I don't know... or something like that Aristotle wrote.
3 years agoI thought I might find someone old enough to get the point of this. I don’t think it’s been around for about 50 years though.
3 years agoI ate them when we lived in Germany... Lots of work for not much inside.
I also remember the gum. Got me web surfing. Seems you can actually buy $upremely epen$ive gum, but it is ancient. Interesting history out there. Seems they were ham producers back in the 1800s and added baby foods and candies. In the depression, people stopped buying foods and kept buying the gum, so the gum saved the business!
The missing lynx?
3 years agoHi,
Is beechnut gum still available? I haven’t seen it for years. It maybe that only we old farts remember it.
Cheers,

Hi,
As Suzanne points out autumn croci are toxic. It’s due to the presence of colchicine, which all gout sufferers, including mr, will know all too well. Ain’t botany wonderful?
Cheers,
Keith
No wonder the lynx didn't show itself!
The yeti is its #1 predator.
They look the same, but these the autumn crocus, are poisonous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colchicum_autumnale

That is some beautiful mountain scenery. It beats the Sawtooths all to heck.
