Day 17 - May 21 - Graz

 Stage 3 Complete 

We pulled in to Graz before noon, after a couple of challenging climbs. 

We were threatened with rain this morning, expected around 8, so we were up and had the tent down and bikes packed and we were at a Cafe under an awning before the rain drops started. Nice work Solbys! 

The Ride with GPS took us along interesting local bike paths, which meant stopping for directions a few times. We found everyone friendly and helpful and wanting us to enjoy our ride. 

It is hard to capture elevation on a phone camera, and there were some times when I wished I could take a photo but it was raining or I was holding on too hard to the handle bars to get up safely, or down safely! 

Here is some of the scenary.  I missed the fields of strawberries (strawberry fields forever).  But they are already being harvested here! Yum 




We are taking a day off to explore Graz and are comfortably into our air BnB apartment (4th floor walk up - even though the Europeans call it 3rd floor!) And enjoying the cafes and a chance to do laundry. 

Some stats.
