Schnitzel and Strudel

We have made it to the impossibly beautiful Vienna. The final
approach on Eurovelo path 9 seemed to circle in a spiral pattern into
the city. So far we have done 420 k in the past 4 days. The scenery
has been right out of "The Sound of Music." Lots of farms, ups and
downs. Scott had a minor mishap in Vienna yesterday, note the missing
chain, derailleur, and bent hanger. No bike shops open today, will
fix tomorrow then off to Ljubljana, Slovenia.

    By the way that's Charlie that wants the schniztel, and not Danielle.

    Nice schleping so far! I think you should just go with a fixed gear for the remainder of the trip Scott.

    Thanks for the call from Vienna! The fixed gear works in Newark, why not in the southermost reaches of the Alps?

    I sense that there may be some legal problems during your schlep - if so, I will accept collect calls and do my best with the prison system over there - can't make any promises though. Looking forward to the rest of the story...

    Love, Aunt Tammy

    Hey Bubs,
    Sounds like quite an adventure. Remember to keep it clean. We don't want to send Waylon in to bail you out. It's all in the game.
    Bodie.

    I hope you've been doing a Deck of Cards every 10k in addition to the beer.

    I asked my roomate if he wanted to go for a bike ride around NYC yesterday. He said his legs were sore from a 'spinning class' the day earlier.

    I replied, "My brother has just biked 260 miles in the past 4 days and your legs are sore from an exercize bike?"

    Any news on the border dispute between Slovenia and Croatia. Maybe Steve and Scott can mediate?

    I take it that derailleur and other missing bits were shorn off of the bike by the sheer force of Scott's massive gastrocnemius and soleus cranking against the force of gravity. Bike, choosing between gravity and Scott, decided neither could win in the titanic struggle and it exploded.
