This morning we cut Jeremy's cast off. I brought along my "leatherman" multi tool and used the little saw blade to cut off the cast. Jeremy applied some duct tape to keep his thumb in place and off we went for the morning ride. For those that don't know my riding partner Jeremy crashed 4 weeks ago and torn his right thumb ligament off and had to have it surgically repaired. The surgeon told him he should cancel the trip...he obviously didn't know Jeremy very well!
The town of Mittenwald is absolutley beautiful. Our Hotel is situated high above the town nestled between towering Mt peaks. The weather has turned fantastic and looks promising for the seven days of riding. This would be a welcomed bonus to not have to face rain and snow in the passes...we'll keep our fingers crossed.
Being in Germany has been great and the people have been so friendly and helpful...the food however is another thing. It is difficult to find any meal that isn't covered in a rich, heavy sauce or butter or creme or gravy. We have to eat out all the time so it is starting to wear thin on everyone. It would be nice to find just a sandwich....
The jet lag is pretty much gone now...it seems to take me about 3-4 days to get back to "normal"...good decision to come 6 days early.
That is all for now.
Chris
