Wed. 6-20 to Riedlingen text

Made a mistake today. Decided not to take the time to tour the palace of the Hohenzollern/Sigmaringen princes. Got our head straight later- We have loads of time; who cares where we get each day?

Clear land warm. Many stretches of the Danube Cycleway are unpaved gravel, not what we were used to, but mostly hard packed and easy to ride. Slow going, though, between the path's many turns and stops, opportunities to go off track if not alert, and the load we are carrying, and the mileage on our bodies. So we go slow. We need to adjust our thinking: riding at home for fitness or training is a matter of going as fast as we can for an hour or two over routes we have ridden thousands of times. Forget that. We are here to see what there is to see and get where we get. Stopped at a modest gasthof in the historic district of Riedlingen, a medieval town with many old old buildings surviving.
