Another clear, cool day.
We had a fine day of riding once we got clear of Passau, but that was a project. The cycle route required us to take the bike down a winding flight of stairs to the path by the river, even though we could have gotten down there by road withing 500 meters. We got it done, but it wasn't easy. The same thing happened two days ago when we could have simply ridden across an intersection instead of negotiating a staircase to get under the road. Go figure.
The Austrian border was only a few km into the ride, and the path was paved, flat, scenic and right by the river all the way. Couldn't have had better riding conditions. We crossed the Danube twice by bike ferry to get on the favored side. We stopped at a large resort by the riverside where we got a good room overlooking the river, and had a relaxing afternoon and evening watching the cruise ships and other river traffic, and watching World Cup matches. The Tour de France starts next weekend and we are looking forward to also following that.
