Running, Cycle Touring and Roaming with Simple Living and Slow Travel
May 17 - Tulln to Krems Blue sky! There’s actually blue sky! What a start to the day. I headed out for an early morning run and the sky was clear and there was blue over there between the clouds and it was looking like being a ripper day. I took a 10K trot along... Continue Reading →
May 16 - Vienna to Tulln We have now been going for one month. Our first very teeny tiny milestone. Fun fact… in 31 days we have had 15 days of rain! Yep, it felt like it too, 50% precipitation so far this trip. When you travel on bikes the way we do, weather becomes... Continue Reading →
May 15 - Vienna The day dawned very cold and drizzly and I once again took a trot around the Augarten, for a quick, short early morning run, passing some familiar faces from yesterday and greeting some new ones. A chilly but top start to the day. The weather decided to crack up even further... Continue Reading →
May 14 - Vienna What a difference some stories make. We managed to do a walking tour today and some information and guided roaming turned yesterday’s itsty-bitsy day into something far more enjoyable. The day was already off to a good start because I got out for a run. Leaving Steve to his slumber once... Continue Reading →
May 13 - Vienna Today really was an itsy-bitsy day. We did a bit of this and a bit of that. Started something, then switched to something else. Made a plan, changed a plan and really just did a bit of a few things. Whenever we’re in a big city, we like to do one... Continue Reading →
May 12 - Bruck an der Mur to Vienna Today is Mothers’ Day. Happy Mothers’ Day to all the mums out there. We began the day with some video calls home to wish our mums a happy day and to have a check-in chat with folks back in Tassie. We sat planning our onward journey... Continue Reading →
May 11 - Graz to Bruck an der Mur Move along, nothing to see here. That was pretty much the theme of today’s ride. Not much to see. We were following the Mur River Cycle Route again and this had me thinking we’d have a ride similar to yesterday - riding a nice flat path... Continue Reading →
May 10 - Leibnitz to Graz I really tried with the language today. I mean, I REALLY tried and that language barrier just behaved like a massive great language bouncy castle and every time I hit it, it just bounced me right back again. I did not break through. I did not conquer that fortress... Continue Reading →
May 9 - Maribor to Leibnitz How many songs have been written about rain I wonder? Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory… Raindrops keep falling on my head… It’s raining again… I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain… I can’t stand the rain, against my window… I’m siiiingin’ in...

May 8 - Ptuj to Maribor We set off from Ptuj, through the cobbled streets as the town was waking up and people were beginning to go about their daily work and errands. A group of children, who looked to be pre-kinder age were being led through the streets in their high-vis vests, on a... Continue Reading →
Run. Ride. Roam.
