Another Sunday, another bike ride.
After waking up late and after a long breakfast we set off about 11:30. We cycled to Sonthofen through the Königsstrasse. Actually we pushed quite a way as there was still deep snow in places. Luckily we met other bikers who were coming from the other direction and assured us that it got better, which it did.
Stefano's parents live in Sonthofen so we called round for a coffee which turned in to a full lunch with wine and expresso. Also a chance to dry our socks on the sun soaked balcony.
We then cycled back home via Bad Hindelang and up the (very steep) old Joch Pass and finished the day with a few hours in the ice cream parlour.
A terrific day. Not bad when we can do 60 kms with over a thousand meters of climbing right at the beginning of the season. And cycling all the way up the old Joch Pass on the second mountain bike tour of the year is also an achievement.
63km and 1077 meters of climbing.
