Sigmaringen to Ulm

June 11th
111 km (846m vertical)

Another lovely day of riding. We followed the Danube Cycle Path all day, looking for little signs on the road to know where to turn. Much more fun then staring at a map all the time. The path had a few steep climbs and fun descents. There were a few long straight stretches of narrow path cutting through large fields. We had a nice tailwind, and I cruised off on my own to enjoy the speed and quiet. Otherwise, I rode most of the day with Al and the Auzzies.

No lunch stop today since we were on small bike paths for most of the ride. Instead, we packed sandwiches at breakfast. My three sandwiches were a real mess by the time I tried to eat them. Should have spent more time packing them up in paper towels and plastic bags.
Manon (one of the Auzzies) got lost for a few km today. She was in the wrong gear at the bottom of a hill, and got left behind. By the time I went back for her, she was gone. There was another rider with her, and we met up with both of them a few km down the road. They had missed the bike path and rode on the main throughway instead.

Great dinner at a local restaurant in town. I had the steak with sauerkraut and some sort of noodle. Watched some Eurocup football and had a few drinks (in anticipation of tomorrow's rest day). Got a bit lost trying to find the hotel, but we all made it back eventually.
