July 4th Bike Ride

Jesse and I decided that we definitely want bike riding to be a part of our adventure in Belgium and Germany this September. There are a couple of towns within riding distance from Munich and I think it would be great to rent bikes to see the sights (stopping at Biergartens along the way of course).

In order to fully prepare ourselves for these excursions, we're going to try and take long rides as often as we can between now and the end of August. Despite the blazing heat (90-92 degrees for the past three days), we decided to get out early and beat the afternoon sun that really starts to scorch between 3pm and 5pm. Today was the longest so far and toward the end we were both pretty hot and tired. However, it felt good to accomplish our first official training ride for the Belgium/Germany extravaganza. Check out our route below.
