Join us for two weeks of relaxed cycling in the fall along the lovely Danube River. Experience castles, lovely overlooks, a bit of sobering history, great food, world famous vineyards and great company for two weeks in September of 2018. We leave the Twin Cities on Monday, September 10 and return from Vienna on Monday, September 24. Starting in Straubing, Germany we will cycle about 30 miles per day, stopping in comfortable lodging each night. Our two layover days are in the cultural and historic cities of Passau and Vienna. The trip ends in Bratislava, Slovakia. Cities visited include Passau, Linz, Krems and Vienna.

There are several biking options each day, most of them flat along the river. However, options for longer days or hill-climbing are available by visiting the many towns and sites along the way. For most days a train is available for anyone wanting a day off the bike. E-bike upgrade available. Approximate double occupancy price of $2450 includes airfare, bike rental, shuttling of gear between towns, lodging, breakfasts, transfer to the airport from Munich and back through Vienna. Single supplement add $370. We will try to match folks in rooms as much as possible. Dinners, lunches, incidentals, trip insurance and bakery stops along the way are extra. Some price change is possible due to currency fluctuations and price changes. 

Registrations will be accepted beginning Thursday, September 7, 2017 when the trip leaders have returned from vacation. They are not available to answer questions until September 6. Deposit of $500/person due by October 31, 2017 to keep current pricing. Later sign-ups may incur additional costs. Limit of 20. Send a check (payable to Chip Treen or Laura Baker) and signed trip waiver to 1044 Park Ave, Mahtomedi, MN 55115.
