This AM we had a bike tour scheduled, followed by a half day visit to Salzburg. When I got up at 7 AM the weather was cold and foggy, so I had breakfast and left Judy while I did the ride. Although I normally like riding the combination of the weather, the group of 15 or so people, and the big, heavy, upright, unstable, close-coupled bikes, some with big puffy seats that could not be adjusted detracted greatly. Tellingly, the tour leaders rode more sensible mountain bikes. We basically rode around LInz in an unwieldy bunch, having to look out for each other and traffic more than the scenery. However this was enough to persuade me to cancel the 20 mile trip down the Danube later in our cruise. That looked, with better bikes and a smaller group, to be very promising, from the section of the Danube bile path we did manage to ride.
I decided to stay in Linz with George this afternoon, letting Judy and Mary and Harry and Kathleen do the bus trip to Salzburg. Pictures later, I hope...
