Running, Cycle Touring and Roaming with Simple Living and Slow Travel
May 23 - Passau What a nice relaxing day, pottering about, roaming and exploring, getting some jobs done and no hurry at all. But, first things first…the rain stopped! The day started grey and then…and then…it turned blue. BLUE! The sky can actually turn that colour again. Amazing! It turned into a beautiful warm day... Continue Reading →
May 22 - Aschach an der Donau to Passau As we readied ourselves to ride away from the Renaissance castle, we considered our layering options. What should we wear. We threw caution to the wind, donned a veil of optimism and rode off without wearing our coats. The sky was grey and there was definitely... Continue Reading →
May 21 - Linz to Aschach an der Danau Flamin’ Nora, it’s still raining!

So confident am I in the use of this one word, that I was reciting it with abandon today. We packed... Continue Reading →
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 →
Run. Ride. Roam.
