Karlstadt to Miltenberg - 66 miles

Like I said, it was tough to get going this morning.   But at 730 , Hilary and I went for breakfast and shortly after I headed out for the ride.  

Rain was predicted for today and the last thing I would want to do (other than maybe take Salsa lessons) is get stuck 20 miles out in a downpour.   So I tried to push it as fast as I could.   

I got 40 miles in by noon and stopped for a break at a Biergarten ..... Are we catching a pattern here?  



I always said this trip was training for RAGBRAI and part of the RAGBRAI experience, at least on Team Navy, is beer drinking.   The problem is what I am drinking here is way better than the "blue beer" (Bud Light).   Note the beer is only half full. 


Scenery today was pretty spectacular too.... The first is one that is pretty special to me. 



 




Today was "Castle and Church" day. I found lots of good ones so I'll just share with you all....








And I've been saying, this ride reminds me more of RAGBRAI every day.  Here is an example....

Cows

Corn

And vendors on Main Street!!


It was a long bit enjoyable.   I couldn't figure out why I was so tired today.   This explained it.....


Sleep well!!!  I'm going to!!!
