Monday July 27,
Today we had a rather long ride. We started out from Cheimsing at about 10:30 and rode around the lake to Gstadt. Our rides are always very difficult to judge. Our computer tells us that the ride should only be 35 km, but this only takes into consideration a direct route from one point to the next with no allowances for the path and how squirrelly it can be. I would definitely take an odometer next time. So today we figured we travelled about 45km, against a major wind with many uphill battles. Both Anna and I were spent when we finally arrived at our campsite at 5:45 pm. We stopped many times along the way to catch our breath, walk up a hill and to check that we were on our path. Despite our best efforts we still got slightly lost twice (I have no idea where that path went, but it sometimes appears and sometimes disappears).
