Today was a hard day. We're all overdue for a rest day, but we've decided for a variety of reasons to push on to Ulm and have our rest day \n\nthere. We had a lot more hills than we expected, including some really tough ones, plus some really powerful wind that was, thankfully, mostly \n\na tail-wind. At 60km (including going out to find groceries and dinner), it's by far the longest day of our tour as a group, and close to the \n\nlongest day I've done since we started. Gabi is doing amazing, considering she's not an experienced long-distance cyclist. I was certainly a \n\nlot more of a sissy getting going than she is. She and I are alternating between butting heads and working things out, and it's good for both \n\nof us. I think we're forming a good bond, and we're all figuring out how to function as a team. Poor unsuspecting Gabi, though... the night owl who accidentally came on vacation with three morning people. Oops.
- All the cyclists pushing up the 20% grade, \"Many cyclists come to grief here\" hill.
- Uh-oh. I don't remember where this was. But it's a pretty picture.
