Into Italy! Rest of the day is downhill. Hampered by a puncture and blown tube for Daniel. Great surroundings, great fun.
This is bringing back great memories of childhood holidays here. Mountains, lakes, alpine forests, sunshine and lots of crazy cyclists…
Going to be tough today. I’m currently staring at the 2248m Pfitscherjoch pass this morning. Bring it on.
90.13km arriving at Burgstall in 7 hours and 9 minutes. 1140m elevation gain, 1400 elevation loss. The net result of which is one exhausted Andy.
What a stunning place. Lush and green, snow capped mountains and beautiful white houses with wooden balconies covered with flowers.
I’ve just found out that the 5 guys I’m with are studying physical education to a degree level. 2 of them are spinning coaches! What have I let myself in for?
Went for an ‘easy warm up’ ride. 22km with a 642 metre climb nearly killed me. Scary fast, but fun, decent followed by some flowing single track was my reward.
Great service & flight from British Airways. Met Christian & chums in Munich before getting the train to the stunning mountain village of Bayrischzell in the alps where we will spend the night.
