Overnight Bike Trip Part I

Here we are, early in to the trip, still cheerful, passing a really old farmhouse/mill.

We stop in the next town for some ice cream, completely oblivious to the terrible hill that waits evil-ly down the trail.

This is not the evil hill. No way could I stop and take a picture then. This is just a sample of how beautiful it was on the parts where we weren't passing out.

We come across a ridge, down through the forest, and pop out of the trees to see this awaiting us... Dinner!

This is the outdoor beirgarten for the kloster (monastery) in the previous picture. I think they got tired of stinky bikers eating inside.
