    This Ride Had it All

    The trip from Murnau to Plansee and back to Füssen was one of extremes, both the riding and the nature around us. If you want an exciting day on the trail, this is the ride for you. This was an instant favorite for us!

    Cycling Nourishment

    Our first ride in 2024 was a banger! 56 km of forest, fields, and farms — with a view of some castles and plenty of mountains. Füssen to Murnau should be on everyone’s cycling short list. Link to the full weekend tour: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1493815660

  4. Heatstroke Is No Joke

    Heatstroke Is No Joke

    Summer Tour 2022 Day 14: Neumarkt to Brombachsee Today we decided to call off the tour, though only a day early. The European heatwave we are experiencing this last week just became too unhealthy to continue riding all day. Seeing 48C on our Wahoo GPS was a novelty for a while, until it was clear the heat was too much. You can read about our tours at https://biketrailspodcast.com

    This Is Not a Survival Camp

    Summer Tour 2022 Day 13: Regensburg to Neumarkt Years ago, we rode a local route to train a bit for longer tours. It was a 30 km loop with about 300 m climbing. At the time, we figured that was enough for our untrained, unfit bodies. Today's route, 76 km and 780 m of hills felt the same as those past training rides, but we made it and survived rather tired but alright. It seems we are improving.

    There Is Something Wrong With This Restaurant

    Summer Tour 2022 Day 12: Deggendorf to Regensburg Sometimes a tour day is just weird, or a bit crazy, and that’s what we got today. The day had two long detours from the Donauradweg, the cycle path we are taking these few days. We were routed far away from the river into lonely farms and forests villages. It added about 15 km to our tour, pushing our ride to 97 km - and we had some other surprises, too. You can read about our tours at https://biketrailspodcast.com

  7. It Was Literally Head Down

    It Was Literally Head Down

    Summer Tour 2022 Day 11: Passau to Deggendorf Cyclists list rain and wind as their least favorite weather while on the road. Today we got a large dose of in-your-face wind the entire trip. The landscape was flat and mainly featureless, with the wind relentlessly whipping at our ears. Arriving in Deggendorf was more a surrender than a triumph.

  8. We Could Have Felt Even Worse

    We Could Have Felt Even Worse

    Summer Tour 2022 Day 10: Salzburg to Passau Our longest day so far at 188 km proved to be a thrilling ride, with a stronger pace despite the 800 m of climbing. It was a beautiful landscape the entire way. Seeing Passau in the distance just before the last descent is right out of a movie. You can read about our tours at https://biketrailspodcast.com
