Another trip into Germany - through Freibourg and across some interesting roads to Todtnau, where we started the ride. Straight up pretty much immediately, and very much like the first climb on the Ballons day... with a bit more traffic. A nice gentle descent followed into Titisee... a veritable tourist trap on a lovely lake, and the cuckoo clock capital of the world.

Of course, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte und Apfelstrudel were consumed for elevenses....

A bit mode climbing and descending saw us in the no-less-cute but rather less kitsch town of Schluchsee for a lovely lunch of salads, pizzas and sausages. It was baking hot at this point, so a bidon refill with cold water was most welcome.

More climbing post lunch, but also some lovely descending through alpine-like valleys. A drink stop in Todtnau was a fitting end... (not to mention the double Chelsea buns you get in the area!)

We finished a great day with a Curryallian in Colmar - marvellous!
