Biking Day 4, On to Austria

Today we left Bavaria and headed for Austria, to spend the next two nights in Kitzbuhel (the ski town).  The morning had one really serious hill as we made our way over the pass into Austria after crossing the Tiroler Achen river.  Again, the weather was good (heading toward warm) and the scenery was wonderful -- so much so that I hardly took any pictures.  Toward the end of the day we were on a bike path called the Römerweg (the Roman Way), a path used by the Romans as they headed north.


Only a few pictures:



I believe this shows the top of a lift in Kitzbuhel.




Another view of the Wilder Kaiser.  This is a typical Backroads "back road" -- it's paved, and every so often you do meet a car, but it's really a country road that is hardly to be found on a map.  Those are two of our group in the red and yellow at the far end of the road.

Today's ride: 60km, 2800ft elevation gain
