We started our day without much drama for the first thirty minutes or so. We grabbed some fresh pastries from the bäckerei (bakery) next to our B&B and set off from Bregenz, Austria towards Lindau, Germany along the edge of Lake Constance with a destination of Meersburg. From Meersburg we took a fahre (ferry) to [...]
Today was one for the books! We originally planned to ride a century (104 km, 67 m) but mother nature let out a huge guffaw and cranked the thermostat up to 36 celsius (that's 96.8 farenheit for all you Americans). I'd been scheming for the past few days to catch a train for at least [...]
We serendipitously found our dear old friend Dan at Logan and he helped Mark carry the heavy and bulky box containing my bicycle to the baggage check. Mark was able to convince the kind gentleman at the desk to waive the charge for the oversized luggage. After enjoying one or five glasses of prosecco in [...]

The Minuteman Bikeway is a member of the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame. This blog post from almost ten years ago remains quite relevant. The trail takes [...]
I loved the few days that we spent in Vienna. I want to share these photos but for now I don't have time to write brilliant captions so please use your wildest imagination.
In just about 6 weeks Mark and I will be embarking on our second annual cycling adventure in Europe. I'm so excited to visit Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands in that order. Last time I went in pretty unprepared/without doing my homework. Each night I would spend some time Googling the next city on our [...]
As I start to internalize what I have signed myself up for this summer I can't help but question why I am going on another adventure on two wheels with Mark. We'll be biking about 100 km each day and I've been averaging exactly 0 km per day since the last trip. To motivate myself to [...]
There were a few moments on this trip that were really memorable and just in general weird. Not in a bad way - a lot of the weird things were cool. Honestly, it was just generally weird to be seeing these things while cycling. I hold the following distinct, weird memories close to my heart. [...]
The squad for the 2016 Tour de Eurovelo was gold medal quality. We'll miss Dan and Katie this summer. 😦
After losing a day of cycling in the Munich airport looking for Mark's lost iPhone, we drove to Passau, Austria. The air was so fresh and the Sound of Music soundtrack was playing on repeat in my brain. The hills really were alive and not in the horror movie type of way!
