The hotel in the Gardasee refuses to refund. Everyone else has been very understanding about the bad weather. It’s really very cold out today.

The Urban is doing really well. The extra ground clearance has been helpful on some steep transitions and rough trail. The small turning circle has made it possible to make turns i could not make on my tour last year. The Urban is a really good bike for this type of touring. I am very happy with it.

I wish I could say it was the only ride I did in bad weather. So far, it is at least the longest ride in bad weather. The heavy rain lasted about na hour yesterday. More is on the way.

That is a lighting module. It puts the lights up higher closer to driver eye height. In my experience it helps a lot with visibility in traffic.

Maybe I’ll attempt that today while I’m waiting out the rain.

It’s great that the weather turned out better than expected. I definitely agree with you about it not being a suffer fest. Good luck on changing your reservations.

Great ride and photos! Too bad about the detour and having to walk so far to get dinner. I hope the weather doesn’t end up as bad as is predicted!

I have cycled part of your route on a racing bike and trekking bike. Absolutely stunning views. Had the opportunity with and without rain. Sun ist nice, but the clouds complete the impressive views almost more to my liking. So keep up the good spirit!
How is the new bike holding up? How does it compare to the normal Bülk? You already proved the off-road capability :)

If you cancel a non refundable reservation you usually end up eating the cost. Occasionally booking.com will ask the property if they will waive the penalty, but in our experience the properties usually do not.

You can do the map upload with your phone, if you're patient. Rather than opening the RWGPS app, open the website. The Share option there includes the Get Custom Embed feature.

On my phone it's a bit of a hassle to select the embed code then copy it, but it can be done. Don't expect the map, or pretty much anything else, to be actually usable during this process: there just isn't enough screen real estate on a phone for RWGPS to do what it needs to do, but the embed code is accessible.

What's the little pod on the top? Camera portal?

I’m glad you made it okay! That’s a long ride to do after the flight, especially in bad weather.
