Featured Touring A Trip To The Vosges

On that note - on the advice of @Hubaxe Hubert I got these... they're delicious!

 

We started off early, and headed for the Col de la Schlucht. Beautiful scenery en route, and we stopped at the "Roche de diable" (Devils rock).
Interesting, and great views.
We then went on to the village of Eguisheim, next to the town of Colmar. Very pretty!

You can tell from the buildings the area has been German for some time in the past.
It was then time for lunch! An excellent beef burger with goats cheese...

 

On our return we took the wee dog out to a local park for some r&r.

It's a dogs life!

 

Today's route. Approximately 130 miles, some of them quite challenging. I'm very proud of Jefta, who throughout the week has got more fluent and brave in riding. She's on a steep learning curve, and doing really well!

Today's Col:

 

We had our last ride of the trip on Sunday morning, again no views .
A bit chilly, but dry roads.

Us shivering at the summit of the Ballon d’Alsace.

Some images from the cams.



Bikes loaded up for the return journey.

Now safe back home.

 

It was brilliant mate! And you're right - Jefta has taken massive strides in her riding. She's learnt a lot, and is indeed, like you said, buzzing! I reckon @Mrs Visor would have enjoyed it here!

 

Cheers Steve, it was great fun. We'll definitely do this again!

 

Cheers Sandi! The compliments are much appreciated!

 

Reminiscing just now - @Hubaxe Hubert, excellent suggestion!

 

Cheers mate! It was a great trip!

 

His recommendations were both cheese and wine - spot on! We had a white Alsace with this...

 

She had a blast - learnt a lot, and as you can imagine pretty mentally tired at first. It was great fun being out together though, as you'll know!
