Arrive in Germany. First stop, the Maxlrainer Beer Garden in Bad Aibling with Pascal and Karin.
After a few rounds.
And a few more rounds.
The worst wedding ever was happening at this beer garden. Note the couple in Bavarian attire, the angry looking dude, and the fat guy with "Hardcore Equipment XXXX" on his shirt. I almost got my ass kicked when I was dancing on the table behind their photo shoot.
Yep, that table where the Hardcore Fatty is sitting.
Rode our bikes to the beer garden.
Tipsy self portrait.
Mountains in the distance. Delaware is flat.
What a way to leave the beer garden.
Making pastries for the next day's hike in Austria.
Dancing hurts.
Pascal almost got us kicked out for wearing flip flops. Sadly they offended the bouncer more than my capri pants.
After getting up way too early after being out way too late, we headed to Tegernseer Austria for a monster hike.
Cow shit everywhere.
Hiked with Norman, Kristina, Sonia, Karin, Pascal.
Steep road at the beginning. For the record, I'm sweating beer.
We hiked to the top of the Montschein-Spitze. That one in the center with the two rocky points.
The Bavarians / Austrians sure love Jesus.
Still a way to go, and it only gets harder.
Cow-herds doing legit business in the mountains.
ho-ly-shit.
Norman waiting for the ladies. This was a rarity on this hike. Usually they were setting a blistering pace.
The easy part is behind us.
Soon it gets hairy.
Some 5.2 and 5.3 climbing was thrown in for good measure.
More exposed climbing.
That gravely shit is not as steady as Sonia makes it look.
Steep, exposed.
Nearing the top.
Self portrait.
Really near the top.
The view over the edge.
Lunch at the top.
Austrian Alps.
More Jesus love and Sonia's hot pants. I liked hiking behind Sonia.
This is the hike down.
...and across some ridges.
The way down to the next peak.
Stopped for a beer and some cheese. This guy in purple liked us and we all took shots of his homemade Schnapps.
More cows.
Karin gave me a bike tour of Munchen.
A view of Lake Constance from my hotel in Lindau.
We had to work the Outdoor Demo at Eurobike. It was a mud bath.
This was the norm at Eurobike Demo Day.
Nonstop rain.
But I did get to meet the Fat Boy himself. Jan refered to himself as Tough Guy.
And I harassed the Cannibal.
