TransAlps 2015: Day -2

Travel day. Vancouver to Munich. 

Typically like to get some activity in before long distance travel. Rode early in Vancouver with Coach Al. Big Al rides are some of my favourites. Usual program is crack of dawn for something short and hard. Alpaca typically gets more out of me during these workouts than I get out of myself. All puns intended. :  )_



Last year I took heat from the clowns for riding front bus (on points) while they rode cattle car class. Back of the bus this year.



Magic Places Joerg met us in Munich and we immediately transferred 2.5hrs to Sonthofen, Day 1 start town.


Always a little unsettling to take apart a perfectly functioning bike, pack it up and hand it over to the airlines for TransAtlantic flight. Never know exactly what's going to arrive on the other end. 

Job number one upon arriving in Sonthofen is build bikes. Appears all good thus far. Major bike drama last year at Haute Route. Hoping to avoid the same this summer.



I have a keen interest in interior design. Always interesting to see the latest fashion showing up in Europe first.


Tomorrow easy ride followed by race registration and final preparations.
