Oracle Jen was kinda right when she would joke to people that we would "come to a screeching halt when we hit he Alps". Unforunately its because she got a sore throat. However, we have still progressed towards Madrid (over big terrain I might add) where I need to be for my flight on October 9th...
"We'll get there when we get there" is what Oracle Jen says when I'm all anxiuos to hit the throttle as if we're late for something. Well, today we barely made it......
Yesterday we crossed into SE Germany for our first real rest of the tour. Our other "days off" were really spent sightseeing by foot in cities which can be quite tiring. So after 5300k's in 52 days including our "days off" we are ready to just chill out. Fortunately Jen's boy Kyle knows people in Germany and we are enjoying what racers refer to as "host housing"....
