Bike Trip
Today was a very long day on the bike. 161km, or just over 100 miles. We've now done that. And hopefully won't have to do it again. We knew we had a long day coming, so left the campsite outside of Heidelberg promptly at 9:00am.

Today was a rest day, and we spent most of the day doing just that. Unfortunately, it's hard to sleep in because of the sun, but we got up around 8:30 and moseyed up to the main office to eat breakfast and charge our phones. All three
Sorry about the lack of pictures, I'm writing this at 10:33 and realizing that I have no pictures to post. The biking today was very similar to biking through the lower peninsula. It was flat, and we'd bike through corn fields, then nice forests, and

This morning we departed camp after breakfast on Lake Zurich with Mike. Breakfast was a simple meal of bread cheese and salami, but we're buying bread by the kilo now, so we get plenty of food. (We've been using Nate trademarked "immigrant mode" method

The heat relented a little today, with a high of a lowly 88. We moved the tent last night to try and get better airflow, and it might of worked (although I think it was just a little cooler last night). I think everyone slept for a least a few

When we first landed in Austria, we learned about "Die Föhn" from Nate's friend Rachel and her friend Joe. They told us Die Föhn is a hot wind that blows out of Italy and heats up the alps. Joe went on to explain that everyone in

Pre-pre-Post note: We're enjoying the comments on the blog! Thanks all Pre-Post Note: Sorry for the lack of photos, Matt's phone died. Today could be described as epic. Nate seems to enjoy planning 100km+ days with just under a mile of vertical gain. To be fair,

This morning we woke to the peaceful sound artillery fire (our campsite was right next to a Swiss military facility.) Nate and Mark rode into Chur to pick up some more vitamin I for Nate (has he talked about how old he is lately) and a spoon and some glue

I'm going to keep this short, because my battery is going to die soon, but today was a rest day in St. Moritz. It was raining in the morning, so we waited until 10 for the rain to stop, then rolled out of bed and ate breakfast. At

Before I get started describing the day, Nate would like to make it very clear that it rained all day (again), and he is not happy about it. And he's ready to go home. That being said, today was a pretty nice day. After dinner last night at

Today was a very relaxed day. Matt woke up at some ungodly hour of the morning trying to combat a pesky fly, but I managed to make it until 9:30 or so and Nate, of course, had to be roused from bed at around 10. Breakfast was bread and

Today was probably the most stressful day of the trip so far, and it wasn't that bad. We slept in until 9:15 or so, and then had breakfast of bread and cheese kindly provided to us by Michiel and Maureen. We made it to the airport with
