Neil: Now getting into a rhythm of cycling . Breakfast, if offered, is usually a good idea particularly as a picnic can usually be made for lunch too . Deciding the route is a shared experience. I don’t like gravel too much with skinny tires . Today we decide to use roads more as it’s nice not always to be on the Danube . Random stops and chats are great fun . Today was a lady walking her British Bulldog , and then a huge group of charity cyclists who had no English. We ended up giving 5 euros . Coffee about 10.30 usually is a half hour affair . We had some navigation discussions too . Signage is usually spot on in Germany but occasionally rider 1 misses the turn so that back stop 2 can shout STOP and we change direction. We stop for a picnic lunch a closed pub . We meet a French couple going to Vienna – our first non German cyclists. Tonight we are in Neuberg ….Ceri has done us proud …. It’s a brewery with a hotel attached. Both tired after 50 miles

We both love an early start as it gives us more time to explore the towns we stay in

Beautiful rolling countryside away from the Danube, but a few challenging hills
