Yvonnes' knee is swollen & very painful to walk on, but slightly less painful while riding. We reloaded Yvonnes' largest pannier bag to my bike to take some weight off her bike. It has made mine very interesting to ride, especially uphill.
The weather has been perfect for todays ride, with sunny, dry conditions & temperature back in the thirties again. Today was a rural traverse. not following any rivers or canals. We are in Bavaria & country is so lush & green. We had a section through forrest that had a VERY steep descent on loose gravel, that saw several riders dismount & walk down the hill.
I am quite worried about Yvonnes' knee as it is swollen & causing her a lot of pain. She stayed behind on this afternoons walk around Rothenburg, so I brought her home some recuperative ice cream. Tomorrows ride is a little shorter so she has elected to ride again, but if things don't improve we will have to train it for a couple of days to give her knee a rest. Yvonnes' effort was magnificent today with her sore knee.

Hope your knee improves Yvonne. .Graham has gone out in sympathy for you! Really enjoying the blog and photos. We are on our way back now. Didn't stop for a surprise! Pie at Frans, Larrimah even Graham wasn't up for that. Take care G&G
ReplyDeleteNot stopping at Frans was probably a very good move. You will probably live longer that way
