Day 20 of the EuroVelo6 bike ride across Europe. Today we biked from Olm to Danauworth Germany a total of 58 miles. Once again, weather conditions were perfect with temps in the low 60's to start and finished in the mid 80's. The day began with a smooth ride on a perfect surface along the Danube River. It was great. But, alas, at about the 10 mile mark, we engaged the dreaded gravel road with the occasional rock cluster. See attached video. It was the longest stretch of that type of surface we have ridden.... over ten miles. Hand numbing and other place numbing notwithstanding. The good news is most of the rest of the day's ride was smooth and level. We had the highest average speed of the trip at nearly 15 mph for the entire distance. While we slowed down for the towns and, of course, the bad roads, we were moving at between 17-19 mph for long stretches occasionally hitting 20+ . That being said, there were few photo opportunities as the scenery reminded me of central Illinois with corn on one side of the road, plowed field on the other and high power transmission lines running through it all. So another great day riding a bicycle

                                                       How did that bicycle get up there?
