Ulm
In the birthplace of the great Albert Einstein we are enjoying another rest day. The Comfort Riders are lodging in their fabulous hotel and the Adventure riders had the very timely treat of being put up in a hostel for the two nights - it's not your typical hostel either, it's spotlessly clean and has comfortable dry beds, unlike the tents and thermarests of all of us, who have been dealing with the spell of intermittent rain for the pastfew days. And the weather reports aren't making it sound like that will change anytime soon.
The ride into Ulm was a challenge for many, with the rain and the first real taste of the maze of bike paths in this region, that make navigation a real challenge. But safe and sound everyone arrived to camp in plenty of time to dry off and enjoy the much needed comforts of being indoors.
Our first sectional rider, Alan has ridden two days and is quickly becoming part of the group. There will be many more to follow, with several joining in Vienna and Bucharest.
