| Tip | General Info | Bodensee-Konigssee Radweg here's something for us to consider before we leave Fussen: | Bodensee-Konigssee Radweg. It goes through Fussen (east to west) and basically follows along the northern edge of the Alps. We could do some more riding along the Alps before (or instead of) heading off to Cologne. | 0 | |||||
| Tip | General Info | Fussen Forecast Alternate itinerary suggestion | I've been monitoring weather forecasts for Germany: Frankfurt: http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/frankfurt/60311/june-weather/168720?m Wurzburg http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/wurzburg/97070/june-weather/167557?m Fussen http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/fussen/87629/june-weather/167596?m Cologne http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/cologne/50667/june-weather/180169?m Mainz http://www.accuweather.com/en/de/mainz/55116/june-weather/171044?m Have a look at the forecasts for Fussen and Cologne. It looks like they expect Fussen to be socked in with rain for almost the whole month, but particularly at the time that we're planning to be there (according to the current itinerary). Cologne looks much more promising. My suggestion is that, if this hasn't changed by June 2nd when we are leaving Frankfurt, we might want to head west to Mainz and north to Cologne first rather than saving that for the end of the trip. Once we reach Cologne we can re-assess and figure out what we want to do. We might train to Fussen (or someplace else along that Alps route I found) and cycle back to Frankfurt. Or we might train to Frankfurt and ride to Fusen. Or we might save the Alps for another trip and go someplace that isn't going to be completely soggy. We have lots and lots of options. Just in case we need an alternative, here's what I've come up with. There are a couple of good routes that are accessible from the Rhine, the Moselle Cycle Route and the Ruhr Valley. I got those from the \"Top 10 Cycle Routes in Germany\" list, so I think they're pretty promising. Three more from that \"Top 10\" list are in the north of Germany, which can be our \"backup to the backup\". They are the Ems, Elbe and Weser routes. If we decide that we want to do that (i.e., if the weather around Cologne turns for shit), we could do something like the Ems northbound and then the Weser southbound or something. | 0 | |||||

I want to clarify re: the luggage.I would want to bring all my own luggage: - Rear panniers. I believe my panniers would fit just fine on the pannier rack that you provide. Here are photos of what they are like: --- Two bags, front view: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usedphotosna/43571728_614.jpg --- One bag, rear view: https://thelazyrando.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mec-bag.jpg?w=510&h=524 - Front pannier rack - Front panniers (similar to the ones in the pic above) - Handlebar bag Here's a picture of my rig from my last cycle tour (front/blue bike):http://www.damdetails.com/uploads/ff01369fc6a929d5d2f4ad863938b392.jpg € 239,00 is fine and it looks like you are in a convenient location for me to collect the bike from the Frankfurt International Airport. Would I come to Martin-May-Str. 7, 60594 Frankfurt a.M to get the bike? What time do you open? I arrive at 8:35AM on June 2. How would I pay for the bike? Do you require pre-payment, or do I pay when I get the bike? Thanks for all your help. | 0 | |||||
| Service | Rental | Bike Rental from Frankfurt | Phoned them on 2017-05-31. Sadly, the bikes cannot accommodate a front pannier rack so I can't rent a bike for this trip. | 0 | |||||

| Activity | Cycle | Itinerary Draft | Frankfurt -> Wurzburg via Main Radweg: 130km Romantic Road -> Fussen 424km Total one-way: 555km Brent and I talked about \"zooming\" to Fussen, and then \"dawdling\" back. That way we can scout things out on our way to Fussen and decide which places we want to spend more time in on the way back. If we do the total round trip, it's 1110km. If we cycle 20 days, that's an average of 55km/day. I think that's do-able, but if it turns out not to be, we always have the option of using the train to make up time. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1157 | ||

| Tip | General Info | Route Map - Return 455 km | I posted a couple of route maps to DAMDetails and Facebook. We can easily cut off that big northern elbow on our return trip, going directly from Weikersheim to Frankfurt instead of back up to Wurzburg and north along the Main river. So, our trip out will be 575km but our return will only be 455km (knocking off a whopping 120km for a total of 1030km) which makes me a LOT more comfortable with riding the whole thing. | 0 | |||||

| Tip | General Info | Ways to get back to Frankfurt | I've been looking into some options to return from Fussen to Frankfurt in case we haven't the time or inclination to ride the whole way. Here's the page for the Romantic Road Coach, which looks like a fantastic way to get back if we're just flat out of time:http://www.romantic-road.com/index.php?id=romantic_road_coach If you look at our planning page, here:http://www.damdetails.com/calendar/day/232have a look for \"Train Map\", which is a screen shot of a larger map. You'll see Frankfurt up in the top-left, and Fussen near the bottom, off-center to the right. It looks like Augsburg would be an opportunity for us to: 1) Retrace from Fussen to Augsburg 2) Catch a train back to Frankfurt if that's what we would like to do Alternately, I'm thinking if we have a bit more time, we could take a train from Fussen to Munchen (maybe stop and check it out!), and then to Regensburg (cut off the map on the right-hand side). We could then cycle from Regensburg to Ulm, reversing part of our trip from 2015. It might look something like this:
I would love to visit Regensburg again and go to that amazing map store, and it would be nice to see Ulm again - it was pretty amazing. | 0 | |||||

If you get on a flight that is an Air Canada flight officially but a Lufthansa co-chair, you are bound by Air Canada’s rules. It’s a bit tricky, or can be.

| Tip | Reminder | Hugendubel (Book Store) Buy cycle touring maps! | Only going to let myself buy maps for the 2019 France trip right now. Any other future trips are so far in the future that any maps I buy now will be out-dated and need replacing. But alas, Hugendubel didn't have any maps for EV6 in France, so I will have to order those online. | 0 | |||||
