141122 Schloss Zeil
It is November but the weather forecast promised good weather so Heidi and I drove to Memmingen to do a race bike tour. It only takes 30 minutes to get to Memmingen but it put us in an unknown area of Allgäu. I had found a 70 kilometer route in the Internet ( http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=jhehzkqqmfoaqqvm ) with over 700 meters of (sometimes steep) climbing.



We passed Schloß Zeil which is the family home of the Earl of Waldburg-Zeil and enjoyed the view from his terrace which has an unbelievable view in to the Alps.



At the end of the tour we cycled in to the center of the ancient city of Memmingen and enjoyed a hot chocolate with Baileys at a cafe next to the town hall.

A great quote to sum up today
"Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it."
-John Templeton.

78km and 980 meters of climbing.
