June 13
We had our briefing at 8-15 on the road too Graz at 8-30am leaving in perfect weather from Luby.
Riding the highway for a short distance before we head onto the less traffic areas over the mountains. The scenery is just beautiful ,we reach the twisty bits and now the real riding begins, with Rozle in front there is no stopping Vic and Neil are like men possessed but there is one obstacle Mary (the Novice) who insists on being up front, but then there is a challenge to pass her on the twisties.Alan can't stand the pace at the back so he takes off over the mountain
,
We see many grape areas with small holdings the area is so beautiful and green
.Route 69 takes us over the mountains the road is just perfect for bikes, being Sunday there are many on this road
We stop for lunch and have a schnitzel with chips- as we are now in Austria. Kelly (the lost one) takes the wrong meal and it there is quite a lot of discussion in Austrian to get the another one .
Kelly drops his helmet as he fuels his bike then walks 20mts from the pump to have a smoke..duh. Neil is not impressed.
Arriving in Graz the second biggest city in Austria we stay at the Mercure Hotel again in the heart of the city , and only a short walk to all the town has to offer.
Vic and I are late for our town tour as we lay down to have a quick nap and over slept..
We walked to the Schlossberg which rises over the medieval town centre took the funicular to the top and had a wonderful view of the whole city.
Dinner was at a beaut restaurant where Vic and I had trout .
Another great day was had.
To day we are off to Balaton Lake in Hungary
