What's new

+ Week The European Chronicles

Mia gets special parking at the Kurgarten-Hotel, as well she should. The new Wilbers rear shock is perfect, just perfect. Today's roads were a big range of beat up goat paths to glass smooth sweepers and she handles fantastic. Actually better than Ginger because this shock was built to my exact (anal retentive) specification; not that Ginger's handles bad, still much, much better than stock, but this is better. The spring rate is slightly higher, and I specified Wilbers "comfort" option because this bike is for touring. Extremely happy with the result.

The single zimmer, much less expensive and almost every decent hotel has them. Nothing fancy, but allows you to book in a nicer 3-star hotel for significantly less.

Gone Ghetto...this is how you travel light, synthetics and Smartwool, wash and hang every night. A hotel laundry is not a thing in Europe.

TMI??? 😧


Let's explore Wolfach...a river runs thru it, specifically, the Kinzig.

Der Hauptstraße...one cobblestone at a time, remember that...on a curve, with a pattern.

any further news on Kickstand. Sad the way this just finalised and if has returned to Europe it would be great to follow his travels again.

His last post was April, 23rd. I hope he just went to Europe and is too busy having fun to post.
