pictures tell a story...

Wishing we could do this to our biking clothes... 

The trail takes you through villages and markets like this...much to Mac's chagrin (the shopping is delightful!)

Walked past a wedding party...everyone was in their best traditional Bavarian clothing.

Bags are covered while riding up to Charnitz, Austria in preparation for a big downpour.


In the morning the girls took an early morning ride up to the source of the Isar river. It is the most amazing blue I've ever seen! Note the cow crossing the river...

On the way up the Isar we were temporarily stopped by a herd of cows their bells ringing away. They just walked around Courtney...

After passing the Isar source which is a giant spring, we headed further up the road to an alm, which is a hut high up in the mountains, to have some fresh milk.

After our 24k morning ride, we picked up Mac and headed back down river towards Bad Tolz. Here Johanna is entering a tunnel they built just for cyclists to access a trail on the other side of the river so we wouldn't have to ride by cars.

Made it to Bad Tolz which is a lovely town to wander, eat, and enjoy the  views. I think we wound up riding about 100k that day.
