#Let's go - Stage 3

Diterbitake: 11.06.2018

In order to have enough room for today's longest stage so far, we will start our journey from Augsburg to Bad Tölz at 8:30 am. The first kilometers of the bike path through Augsburg towards Fürstenfeldbruck are mainly characterized by highways and industrial areas. However, everything is on well-developed bike paths and considering that this is a connecting stage for us to the Munich Venice bike path, we can live with it. We both noticed that the Bavarian drivers are very attentive and considerate towards cyclists. Thank you very much!


The landscape is becoming increasingly hilly, our route takes us across meadows and through forests, passing through picturesque villages, all of which are worthy of a postcard. Presumably, unemployment in Bavaria is still significantly lower than in Baden-Württemberg. Today, on Monday, we see NO ONE on the road. The few we see are working at home or in the garden. In Gauting, which we pass through at lunchtime, we observe "school crossing guards", probably consisting of the last dozen unemployed people who have now been assigned to help children safely navigate traffic. We think this is a great idea! On this occasion, we realize that the children can already apply the basics of good manners, as every child who runs past the school crossing guard across the street shouts a cheerful "Thank you" to them.


Yesterday we were still beginners when it came to riding in the rain. We were under the misconception that there would be enough time to consider when to stop and waterproof ourselves and our entire luggage at the first few drops of rain. With the realization that Mario's shoes were allowed to rest on the mobile laundry dryer today.


Today we are wiser. At the sight of the dark clouds after our lunch break in Wolfratshausen, we immediately made our luggage weatherproof and put on our rain capes after a few meters. All well-prepared - then it didn't rain and we were soaking wet from sweat. We continue to work on the balance between being well-prepared and having a positive mindset.

In commercials, we have learned that there are 37 types of headaches! Today we have learned that there are 2 types of "my-butt-hurts"

Bad and really bad.

In a selfless self-experiment, we are trying out what helps against it:

  • Gradients over 12% after about 80 kilometers of riding, because then the pain in the thighs simply outweighs everything else
  • when the battery loses another bar of charge, sudden delusions occur, in which one sees oneself transferring a ridiculously heavy eBike uphill by pushing. For a while, this makes all the pain disappear.
  • Aftercare: immediate enjoyment of a spaghetti ice cream right after the ride and everything is forgotten.
Promise! When we are back home, we will post all tour stages online. You can then download them as gpx files.
