Today’s ride was a bit rainy but not as bad as we thought it would be. Also not much climbing so our muscles got a break. We followed the Danube pathway for about half the distance. Through much of this part of Germany you find an amazingly well developed network of paved cycle paths so you hardly have to deal with car traffic.

There’s our friends just ahead.
There are many places where we would pass over or under the highway or railways.
George with all the rain gear.
Our destination today was Lake Konstanz or Bodensee as the Germans call it. It’s a large lake that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It’s lovely and a popular tourist spot.
Enjoying some well deserved ice cream.
The sun finally came out at the end of the day.
One interesting thing we learned today was that June 20th is Corpus Christi (body of christ) day in this part of Germany. It’s a national holiday and just about every business is closed including grocery stores. There were some bakeries open but unfortunately Tara must avoid wheat due to allergy problems so today proved challenging as one needs fuel when cycling all day. She had to resort to McDonald’s, not someplace she frequents often, where she ate a burger without the bun and some french fries! 😨
Not a typical meal for me.

but I definitely understand the meal choice after a long cycle! Thanks for sharing.
