August 25th 2014 Ochsenfurt to Volkach on the Main River Biketrail

We left Ochsenfurt and the weather looked promising and turned into a nice day.
We rode along the river on good trail and had planned to stop at the village of Marktbreit for some sightseeing. That's were we lost Mike. He had stopped to take a photo of some Cement plant close to the trail. As we got to the village there was a huge Flee Market right on the trail, which partly obscured the trail sign.
Instead of making a right turn Mike went straight through the masses of people.We had made the right turn to the entrance of the village stopping there to wait for him,  thinking he would show up any minute.But after a few Minutes no Mike. Mac rode back to the photo stop where we last saw him back and forth through the crowd of people on to the next village and back while I waited. I had a feeling that mike was ahead of us all that time anyway. So we finally rode on but after about 15 km Mac started to worry again and rode all the way back to the market. I waited at the bike trail for almost 2 hours for him to return.
Of course he returned without having found Mike. So we took a beer break and then went on to our next goal, the village of Volkach 20km away. There we checked into our Hotel Beringer, where they remembered us from the year before. We kept wondering where Mike could have ended up, but I knew he would be ok. Soon the phone rang my sister: "are you perhaps missing something" she asked.

      Smart Mike had taken the train back to Bad Kissingen to his Hotel and while riding through the park had

run into my sister and husband Heini by chance. He could explain to Heini the situation, so they called us and the mystery was resolved.
Mac and I had Dinner took a walk through the village looking for gelato, but none could be found.
We left in the morning, nice weather and rode all the way home to Bad Kissingen were we met up with Mike at the wine fest in town. After some wine drinking went up to the village of Hausen 5 km away so Mike could have Holzhacker
