I know. It is all wasted on us.
5 years agoNew knees are making 70% of the difference this time round. The remaining 30% is the ebikes.
5 years agoClearly we need to dispatch Dave to do some research/embedded reporting...
5 years agodefinitely aprikose for me.
5 years agoGlad to hear your knees are doing so well. It is worth putting up with the awful time around the operation! I am sure neither of you would have enjoyed the ride over the mountain to Klenheim

We did this section at Klelheim on our first ride in 2014 but were unaware there was a ferry. We took the bike route up and over. A portion of the path going up was under construction at the time and we ended pushing the bikes up around the construction. On the way down we ended up bailing to the adjacent road rather than negotiating the rather steep downhill through the forest. The ferry is indeed the way to go.
5 years agoSame camera, Scott. Just coincidence that today almost all photos were taken while stopped, like on the ferry or in the monastery or while taking a quick break. Glad you like them.
5 years agoThat mountain track sounds awful. We actually waited for over an hour and a half for the ferry, but I REALLY did not want to try going over the mountain. (The new knees sure are great. Wish I had it done sooner.) Dodie
5 years agoSay, did you get a new camera, or did you finally quit taking photographs on the fly? Very nice.
5 years agoLast year when we got to Klenheim the water in the Danube was so low that no ferries were running. The alternative over the mountains was horrendous very steep and just a rough track. Probably would be good to walk but certainly not good to ride. Will try and send you a photo of what the Danube looked like at the monastery but don’t seem to be able to attach it here

May be you will have a good price to exchange your e-bike from an Audi freshly built in Ingolstadt ?
5 years agoJust woke up from a terrific sleep - but windows had to be wide open. The down pillows look good, but they always eventually go flat!
5 years agoThose pillows also feature quite an impressive amount of loft! fluffiness all round...
5 years agoHey Marv. Your notion ties in with Ben Park's idea of these being baby trees in a nursery for later transplantation.

What an amazing ddifference the time of year makes. Last year we were in Kelheim and Resenberg in early October when Octoberfest was on in Munich. Both places were alive. There was a massive festival in Kelheim alsorts of fun things happening in the Main Street and we were part of it with our hotel right in the centre. In Resenberg it was the same and getting a seat in a cafe was like a treasure hunt. Best of all in Resenberg we found a fantastic bike shop with a lovely man who fixed my ailing steed in no time
5 years agoI do like following routes we have done recently
