Day 1 - Fussin' in Fussen

The Route - Fussen to Limone Sul Garda9:30 pm, and both of the housemates are completely knackered!!

Got the bikes up and running last night in Fussen. I was interviewed by a young lady from the local press who entitled me "Mr Big Bag", seemingly on account of my oversize luggage.

Ate ice cream, strolled the town. Slept for a while in the ice rink before bedding down for the night on the tennis courts (we are very sporty you know).

Up this morning for the RACE!!! Kicked off to AC/DC Highway to Hell at 11am. Hills unbelievable!! Lots of climbing climbing climbing. Hit the finish after five and a half hours pedalling, totally knackered.

LOTS of interest in the bikes, lots of interest in On One. Brant, if you are listening, we met someone who knows someone you know!

Good grief, this is dull, but we are both knackered.

For those of you affiliated with Andy Ruck, he sends UBER love from Austria.

Well done chaps on successful completion of your first day of effort. Dear Lord it must have been hard work though, if the blandness of your diary offering is anything to go by! Your fans back here in Ireland are demanding cutting edge journalism and pithy comments, your diary entry didn't even have any points for prayer, not least journeying mercies, which I would have seen as a fundamental!

Well done on your successful start to the Tour! Hope the rest goes ok and legs and bikes last the distance. I expect the first 7 or 8 days will be the hardest.
