Patrick.. How did you get your pics to show on here? Did you use Dropbox?

[patrick]

I use google / picassa and view the photo on my screen and then copy the URL   or is that ULR  into the message on the forum using the  insert image button. the one below the Bold Text button.  I assume you could do the same with the URL  ULR  )web address of the image)  from dropbox

Hope this helps, but no doubt others will explain it more eloquently!

Yesterday I eventually arrived in Nuremberg after about 11 hours on the bike in temperatures of +29c. There were 2 major accidents on the way that really delayed me, plus I was boiling up in my leathers. Tomorrow I am off to Austria for 3 nights to have a play around the mountain roads. :)

Going out on a pedal bike soon to have a ride around the area. I asked where the engine was and my host pointed to my legs

Hi Deb's
if you get a chance try the Nockelmstrasse - best of all the passes in my opinion beats Stelvio and Grossglockner for views - did all three on my trip two weeks back and the wife definitely preferred it :)

Enjoy.....

Yes I will Pete. The owners of the biker hotel http://www.hochalmspitze.com/ that I am staying at have said the same. I will now be staying there for 3 nights so 2 whole days for doing them all.. :)

I have just been on a cycle ride to Herzogenaurach and used muscles I forgot I had... Its really lovely here and the host said it was about +40c out in the sun...

They no longer use this as their head quaters after moving to a new site on an old American forces base

Great to see that you are enjoying yourself Debs...good pics keep posting 

[Debs]

Thank you OC. I love it around here.. Its so clean and a great place to retire to.. I don't want to come back to UK..   

I have now mastered how to use photobucket...

And I bet you're now thinking, bloody hell it wasn't that difficult after all

Nice one Debs .... looks as if you are having a great time .. keep it all coming back to the UK !

I left Nuremberg at 10am and had an eventful ride down in the blistering heat. I can't remember how many time I stopped to pour cold water over my head, and to loosen up my joints.. I bought an Airhawk seat before I left home to stop myself getting a numb bum. That is a plus but the minus is that my joints all seize up after about hour & half 

On the way to Salzburg things were going to good, and then it happened.. Bloody road closed. No warning signs to say before I got there, so I had to follow the diversion signs back the way I had already come for about 10km. I was soon around the delay and heading for Salzburg again.

Once I had left Salzburg I started stopping now and again for a quick photo. I was in awe of the scenery. So beautiful.




I decided to stay away from the Autobahn for 3 reasons. 1st I'm a cheapskate [bit like LW] and didn't want to pay the toll fee 2nd my rear tyre is getting a flat spot down the center and 3rd the old road looked fun. 

Somewhere up a mountain on the old road. Having a break to clean the 1000's of dead bugs off my visor, and putting my Drift Ghost camera on my lid to record the last half hour to my destination.



I eventually arrived at the hotel at 6pm.
