Lyle McLeod replied to a comment by Suzanne Gibson on a photo in Day 14 - Dresden to Litomerice

Oh no! Just read your post and it does sound very much like our day. Dreary, wet … and our hotel in Litermorice was a bit of a dive too. I guess the little Rose Garden ‘dance party’ we had after schleping the bikes and bags over the dam was enough to sand off those rough edges. Sounds like the memories of your day have softened too over the years 🙏. We’re really enjoying the rides your doing around Munich and in the Allgäu. You live in a wonderful part of the world!

OK I think it was Albergo del Sedile. But still Q about bike storage?

Hi Dave,
Thank you for the very kind comments. So sorry to hear about your health setbacks. Both Kirsten and I hope you're able to get on the trails again. The rides around the Italian Lakes and the Dolomites would equal the CARR, we hope you get the opportunity to ride them and compare for yourself.
Regards, Kirsten & Lyle

once again your blog inspires me. It's been almost 4 years since my ride eon EV6 and then south on the CAAR. Prostrate Cancer, the pandemic and recently congestive heart failure have taken the wind out of my sails but who knows maybe summer 2023 may have another long ride for me.

Mike, Very familiar with the Beaufort scale. Used to do some sailing in Scotland in a former life!
What's great fun to a sailor can be hell on earth for a cyclist!

Fixie - The British purists hate this North American word.
You either have a fixed wheel or ride fixed.
I reconditioned my fixed wheel bike in the shed during our lockdown and am riding it quite a bit on the flat around my home.
Interestingly it is easier to ride up hill fixed than on a freewheel of the same gear!
