... out a little rough as they had frozen the gear-shift on a really inappropriate setting, so peddling on a flat felt like the Wicked-Witch riding her bike through the air alongside Dorothy. There was a lot of leg churn and not a lot of wheel movement.
After I got going on the downhill section, it was much better. I'm sure I didn't break any trail records, but I did make it down to the bottom at a brisk pace compared to walking. It was also a nice rest for my poor legs and feet. ...

Turd tossed out

It is a behemoth of a castle, much bigger than the one in Raşnov, Romania and much better. Even though the fire gutted the place, the walls still stand and walking around the castle grounds makes for a magnificent experience (and given its popularity, the entrance fee was not exorbitant).
