I cycle through the outback and the mining world. Excavators are everywhere, and tourist camps are nowhere. That is Blackwater.
I feel about like the astronauts when flying around the moon, and on the far side they were left without contact with the control centre
A distraction on the road are the road workers. They threw water bottles at me as I cycled like I was on the Tour de France
I've been planning this trip for years. Making the journey from the Alps to Slovakia by bike was a dream of mine 15 years ago.
From Livigno via Offenpass to Umbrail Pass and Stelvio. I have 14 km on the bike and 1300 vertical. Stelvio Alps to Slovakia by bike.
The road along the Danube is mostly flat, sometimes boring. We walk the main routes Passau Linz, Melk to Vienna. Alps to Slovakia by bike.
