80 kilometers
Today was going to be a tough day. There was no way around it -- unless you took the train. We had to cycle up over the FluelaPass from 1,550 m to 2,385 m. It was a 13 km climb (8 miles), and it would get steeper in the last 3 km. Oh boy. Fortunately, Mark found a graph of the climb, which really helped me stay positive about the effort.

The group we were with numbered about 20, with 2 leaders from the company "Exodus". The average age, as ...

Thursday 4th August – Day 4 – Ulm to V
... you can see is beautiful mountain rangers (or big hills as Si calls them). Driving into Austria was nothing less than breath taking, a massive recommendation for everyone! The mixture of stunning scenery with massive mountains, bright blue lakes, winding paths and tunnels was incredible. We pulled over to get our Austrian road tax and the scenery passed the time very quickly. Innsbruck was impressive, deep in a valley it was surrounded by huge mountain ...
