Great end to the Biking Trip



The last two days of the biking trip were as great as all the others. We enjoyed a ride on a River Barge on the Danube River, used as our transport over to the Austrian countryside. Aside from being a cool morning, we enjoyed the scenery and a ride through a river lock (like the Panama Canal). The weather was warm and enjoyable once the morning fog lifted. We mostly rode for these two days along the Danube River and the last day riding through the wine country as well. It was picking season for the white and red grapes. The local red grape/wine is St. Laurent which we have shared and drank our way through many bottles. This biking trip was wonderful, with an amazing group of travelers we now call friends. We all had a secret cyclist during the trip, picked on the first day and giving us reason to mingle and learn about each other from the beginning. The last night we all made presentations along with a little gift. What a delightfully humorous evening we enjoyed.
