Wednesday, May 6 :: Tauberbischofsheim, Germany

Wednesday, May 6 :: Tauberbischofsheim, Germany :: 71 km / 359 km total

Another great ride... Germany is so awesome for cycling! An early descent to the Tauber River, and we followed it pretty much all day, mostly on bike paths, occasionally on little-used, narrow roads. Many other touring cyclists today coming the other direction, mostly in 2's, all smiles and greetings all around. A quick lunch stop at a bakery, and a quick finishing ride in Bad Mergentheim, at the 51km mark. But Liz said "51km is not enough!", so off we set down the Tauber for another pleasant 20km (actually, we were banking distance against some climbs expected tomorrow). Happy with our 71km (flat) ride, we settled in for the night.
