There is a very nice bike path that runs right in back of our house, so we went out and got on the bike path and rode along the river and then up towards the mountain range, and along the farm country for about 20 kilometers.
Along the way we checked out the ski area at Kaprun and the little commuter train that glides along the tracks on a very frequent schedule, the snowy peaks towering above us, and the green pastures full of cows. At one point we played bike tag with a group of girl scouts who joined us on the path.
We had lunch on a nice picnic table stationed along the route. The scenery was beautiful from my perspective and from Don's perspective across the table the scenery was just as beautiful. It was beautiful on both side too. Sorry to be so repetitious, but that is just the way the scenery is.
After 20 kilometers out we turned around and rode the 20 kilometers back again for a very satisfying ride.
Last few days in Bruck:
September 19, 20, 2012
Wednesday night we enjoyed a very nice visit, wine and snacks with our hosts, Karin and Gerhard. We had a good time sharing travel and home exchange stories, talking about the sights we have seen and the places we have visited and plans for the future.
Now, Thursday, Don got busy packing up the bikes, snuggling his 4 jars of 29cent Dijon in between bike parts, and weighing the bike bags to be sure they are not over the allowed weight.
In the afternoon he went to the Grossglockner Alpen Challenge 2012. The main events will occur this weekend, but they are gathering today at the foot of the Grossglockner. As with the tractors, the guys will all be walkin' and talkin' car stuff, showing off their fancy cars, shiny engines and special features. I decided to stay home and take a nap.
I so have enjoyed our trip! Such beautiful sights. So many castles can't wait for more photo's!
