Bike Trip
In order to stay cool last night, we decided no fly would've necessary on the tent. This was a great idea until 5:30am when the sun rose and beat down on our tent. No one was able to sleep past 8:30, Matt got up just to

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

Today started with Matt running to the bike shop to get a new back brake cable installed after we learned it's difficult to shove a cable back down the tubing. Thankfully the bike mechanic was a nice Scottish man (so he spoke English!) and was able to repair

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

Today was our last day to explore Innsbruck, so in true bum fashion we didn't get out till 11. This bros place is just too comfy. It didn't help that we broke down our bike boxes at 11 last night into tiny pieces. The goal today

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

We arrived at Schiphol at around 10:30am local time and had no issues getting off the plane. All of our luggage arrived with us (awesome) and after a brief issue where Mark left Matt in customs with two bike boxes and one piece of luggage, we were on our
Bike Trip
Our first day of the actual trip. No majors issues. We crossed the boarder into Canada with out any issues (except a visibly nervous mom) and made it to the Windsor airport with plenty of time to spare. Bags were already paid for, so we brought them to the counter
