Biking Day 5, Kitzbuhel to Pillersee and back

This was a loop route, a bit longer and more strenuous than the last two days.  Another chance to bike my age.  Today went beyond warm to hot.  Through several small towns in the AM, and then a long, relatively mild uphill after lunch (with a steep last quarter mile into the hotel, from a different direction than the day before -- always hard to do when you are expecting those first moments of rest after the ride).




This is from somewhere up high, probably just as we left Kitzbuhel.




We saw lots of cows throughout the week, but I hadn't taken any pictures of them.  They are mostly standing on steep mountain slopes, though these were in a flat spot.  Complete with cowbell, to make my friend Roberta happy.

Today's ride: 69km, 2700ft vertical.
