3 months agoAs I write this you'll be climbing the pass with a grin/grimace?.hope it's all going well...It'll be interesting to hear how well the Urban climbs over a sustained climb.
3 months agoGood luck tomorrow!
3 months agoIt’s a shame you’re getting such freakish weather, but that seems to be happening to all of us more and more all the time. Good luck tomorrow, and be safe!
3 months agoI sometimes wonder who designs these routes. I can make some incredibly tight turns, but that was not one of them. I also fret that some crazy road biker will come zooming through pursuing some Strava record and bash in the front of my nice new velomobile. Luckily that hasn’t happened yet.
3 months agoI totally remember that one. There were mysterious squeaks from the back of the tandem as we sailed into it. :)
3 months agoWow. That’s terrible. It’s an expensive lesson to learn. With a velomobile I’ll ride in most any weather, but I did sensibly draw the line at ascending the Reschen Pass in 40F and rain. You would think a hotel on the Gardasee could easily find someone else to take the room.
3 months agoSince we are on the road for 9 months we are very careful about choosing refundable bookings but we accidentally booked one this time for 3 nights that wouldn’t refund even 1 day.
3 months agoGood to know. I guess I will not be patronizing non-refundable properties in the future. Too unpredictable these days with extreme changes in weather. It’s about 40F colder today than yesterday. That’s not normal.
3 months agoThe hotel in the Gardasee refuses to refund. Everyone else has been very understanding about the bad weather. It’s really very cold out today.

These two posts make a great pairing, Ben. They give a really rounded picture of the highs and lows of bike touring. Well done, well told.
