This last week has been a ride. Last Saturday I was biking with Antonia around Trogen and St. Gallen and managed to "kill her". I'm told this is no small feat. On Sunday was the annual Schaffhausen Slow-Up where 36km of trail and road were cleared for cyclists and bladers. The event brought out families, power walkers, and even a few joggers. I biked the route twice (map below) and ran into some old friends near the end.

The rest of the week was more cycling with the exception of Thursday. Tomorrow I take a break to run some errands and prepare for the 14-19 June bike trip. As a complete surprise, my friend Jeff made the spontaneous decision to fly over from Montreal and join me! Woo hoo! I'm really looking forward to this trip!
