The good news is, we´re getting faster. This may be because I have made Kate take all of my gear and ride at the front all the time. It may also be because we are a bit stronger at grinding out longish days in the saddle; because I am navigating better, and therefore having to stop less; and because we tend to be avoiding unsealed roads like we rode on in Scandinavia.
The Switzerland, Slovenia and Austria leg was the hilliest so far, going off metres of height gain per kilometres cycled. This is largely because we spent a bit of time with the panniers off, and riding with Fernando and Johanna who tried to kill us with hills. Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia are also bloody hilly. The Balkans were also very hilly (an average daily climb of nearly 900m!), and we did almost all of these hills with the panniers on. The average speed for this leg was quite high as well, and this is probably largely because we were almost constantly being chased by dogs, as the table above shows.
We have completed 8 passes in total (touring and unlodaded) but also had two near passes... 1950-odd metres. However, Fernando does not allow us to count any pass as a real pass unless it goes over 2000m, so these shall not be counted. Even though one of them was Mont Ventoux, And the other involved 1400m of climb. Stupid Fernando and his stupid system.
