General Info | Route Map - Return | 455 km | $0.00 |
I posted a couple of route maps to DAMDetails and Facebook. We can easily cut off that big northern elbow on our return trip, going directly from Weikersheim to Frankfurt instead of back up to Wurzburg and north along the Main river.
So, our trip out will be 575km but our return will only be 455km (knocking off a whopping 120km for a total of 1030km) which makes me a LOT more comfortable with riding the whole thing. |

General Info | Ways to get back to Frankfurt | $0.00 |
I've been looking into some options to return from Fussen to Frankfurt in case we haven't the time or inclination to ride the whole way.
Here's the page for the Romantic Road Coach, which looks like a fantastic way to get back if we're just flat out of time: http://www.romantic-road.com/index.php?id=romantic_road_coach If you look at our planning page, here: http://www.damdetails.com/calendar/day/232 have a look for "Train Map", which is a screen shot of a larger map. You'll see Frankfurt up in the top-left, and Fussen near the bottom, off-center to the right. It looks like Augsburg would be an opportunity for us to: 1) Retrace from Fussen to Augsburg 2) Catch a train back to Frankfurt if that's what we would like to do Alternately, I'm thinking if we have a bit more time, we could take a train from Fussen to Munchen (maybe stop and check it out!), and then to Regensburg (cut off the map on the right-hand side). We could then cycle from Regensburg to Ulm, reversing part of our trip from 2015. It might look something like this:
I would love to visit Regensburg again and go to that amazing map store, and it would be nice to see Ulm again - it was pretty amazing. |

Flight | Lufthansa | Alberta - Cgy or Edm | Frankfurt | $0.00 |
2016-06-05 RJS: Rome2Rio says that Lufthansa flies between here (both Edmonton and Calgary) and Frankfurt and I've checked on Lufthansa's web site and they still require that bicycles NOT be packed so a bike bag (or box) may be a moot point.
2016-06-05 LW: For the Lufthansa thing - a word of warning. If you get on a flight that is an Air Canada flight officially but a Lufthansa co-chair, you are bound by Air Canada’s rules. It’s a bit tricky, or can be. I might still bring along the lightweight bike bag as insurance! |

Frankfurt -> Wurzburg via Main Radweg: 130km
Romantic Road -> Fussen 424km Total one-way: 555km Brent and I talked about "zooming" to Fussen, and then "dawdling" back. That way we can scout things out on our way to Fussen and decide which places we want to spend more time in on the way back. If we do the total round trip, it's 1110km. If we cycle 20 days, that's an average of 55km/day. I think that's do-able, but if it turns out not to be, we always have the option of using the train to make up time. |

---|---|
Lots of "hurry up and wait" today. We're pretty much ready to go.
I've been doing "Operation Germany Brain". I normally wake up at 4AM anyway. On Monday I got up at 3AM. Tuesday was 2AM. Today was 1AM and tomorrow will be midnight. Backing my brain up to be more used to Germany time by the time we get there. Since I want to cycle 30km on Day 1 to camp at Rumpenheim, I want to give myself the best shot possible at not being jet-lagged. |
