Travel Day

Departed YVR Wednesday afternoon with Haas, Wilf, GM and Rumon. Good flight (note red roses adorning the seats) and all of us able to catch a partial night's sleep prior to landing in Germany. After a bunch of hours waiting for delayed race-mates and luggage we departed from Munich with Joerg, our guide for the week.

Last year I did not enjoy the food found during our initial days in Germany (it improved as we headed south into Italy). Having better luck thus far and was able to find a good meal near Munich last (Thursday) night.

Based on last year's experience, we opted not to overnight in Halbergmoos (Munich's equivalent of Richmond) and were driven directly to Sonthofen, our Day 1 start town. Race plan was to stay awake until late evening arrival in Sonthofen. Rumon is already off plan.
