Woke at 7 to the sound of traffic on a wet road outside. Yes, first bit of rain, so got togged up for it. But by the time I had gone down to the underground parking, and emerged, the sun had come out.
As with most routes, I set the GPS for shortest distance and no motorways, and today it paid off ... and wasn't long before I was riding through pine forests akin to mid-Wales.

| Taking pics while cornering ! |
 |
| All good tarmac, even on the single lane roads. |
 |
| Now that's what I call a stack of logs. |
 |
| Little villages every few miles. |
 |
| Temptation .... I succumbed. |
 |
| No overtaking ! |
 |
| Hmm, shortest route included the odd farm track. |

| Stopped to buy a bottle of wine. |
Got to Ingolstadt, where I was "Couch-surfing" for a night. My hosts lived in a brand new house, and I got a nice bed in a private room. You are not always as fortunate as this, but on this occasion, I lucked out.
They cooked me a nice meal , and in the evening, they were kind enough to take me out for a walk around the old Bavarian city. Inevitably one beer finished the evening off.
