Riding in the rain – Tuesday 21 May

Riding in the rain – Tuesday 21 May

It was forecast to rain the whole day again today and there were heavy rain warnings. We actually enquired whether we could stay another night at the Munich hotel, but it was fully booked. So we decided to do a very short ride – just 33 km to Marzling in the north (near Munich airport).

In the end the ride was not too bad. It was wet, but we rode alongside the river and it was intriguing to see it in flood. There were lots of large branches and logs coming down the river The cycle way was mostly flat and quiet, so we made it in just over a couple of hours.

We were very dirty and full of grit when we arrived early to check in. The hotel were very good, giving us a dry place for the bikes and some water to clean them with. We had to hose down our feet and shoes with the water as well. We rode in our sandals to keep our closed shoes dry for another day.

The room was lovely and large and warm. The hotel was more modern than it looked at first, with entry to the room via a key card. We managed to finalise our booking for our break with Elsbeth in Hamburg.

We walked to the small local shop to buy some more snacks. In the evening we also had some beer, asparagus soup, pork roast and dumplings at the hotel restaurant. Most of the other clientele seemed to be there on business.
