August 24 - Not really a rest day

Monday - Bad Berneck
Last night is not one that Donna wants to do again. We think it was something from lunch yesterday. We are not going anywhere today while she nibbles some crackers, bananas and applesauce and massages the sore leg muscles that resulted from cramps in her very muscular legs most of the night. Doug had plenty of time to do laundry. The good news is that we finally caught up on the blog.
About 2:00 she finally felt like moving around slowly so we went for a short walk. Bad Berneck is a small mountain town,

They do have a Tourist Information office and Gerald was really, really helpful. His gift of a guide to the Main River Cycle Route will make this part of the journey much easier logistics-wise. (He said it was out-of-date so he could give it to us for free)
We found the new bike route symbol that we will want to follow.

This is the first dropbar touring bike we've seen, it's a Trek 520 and so, just maybe, he is American. He was zipping downhill so we couldn't verify this. Donna was feeling much better by evening though not quite up to dinner so we will be on the road again tomorrow.

Doug, very sorry to hear of your wifes food induced tummy issues, I hope that she has begun to feel more herself and that you were able to take the time needed to get over it. Saw your note today, 28th, so I'll try an anti rain dance for the next while. As always, safe and enjoyable riding. David
