Midweek Austrian Update

Well, in this post there are contributions from Morna, JB and JR.. We are now holed up in Kitzbuhel the weather is fantastic and this is the first two night stop which is more than welcome!

(JR) This Day 3.
The handbrake was out of the phartsack by 0 dark hundred and inter her plimsoles and gone. |The previrase  evening there had beeen earnest  debate as to a grand plan for the day. Intention was for the \Team to head more or less \south sndtry to get to the Alps. |After a breakfast of champions the mob recovered their kit, sorted the bikes and prepared fro another  day on the tarmac.##

\\Any thoughts
 (JB)
This is my little space to write in! Around 400km was covered which revealed beautiful countryside and many interesting sights eg. a crane factory, lovely rolling pasture, occassional grapes, lovely little alpine villages and when approaching Austria a lovely change in mountainous geography. Colin panicked everyone with his usual attention seeking behaviour by claiming his bike would not start - a court of enquiry is scheduled to sort out his maintenance schedule. Ross and Morna did the usual extra mileage but were very impressive on the motorway burning up the locals on their Explorer.  On arriving in Kitzbulel the team needed rehydationn then after dunking the balls went out for an excellent fang. Overall the day was very long mileage wise but the scenery was excellent. It again revealed the limitations on ability of various folk to programme their |GPS as everyone went a different way but all arrived safely in my favourite ski resort. The main issue now is deciding what to do tomorow with the boys favouring a bike ride without the claggage on the back whilst the girls go walking (this also includes JR). That's all for now.


We enclose a picture of Colin's new tattoo. The rest of us will be getting one tomorrow. We have the true biker lust.
