The Path of Adventure: Regensburg

The history of Regensburg dates back 2000 years ago when Stone Age Man settled on the banks of the Danube River. In 2006, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage sight because "it is the only authentically preserved large medieval city in Germany." Here are a
few shots of some of the architecture seen around the city:

We spent the morning walking through the streets of of this charming city and doing some window shopping. We then headed to the Wurstkuche for lunch. It is located in a 900 year old building that was used to feed the workers who built the Stone Bridge right next to it. The restaurant serves the most delicious sausages and sauerkraut with amazing grainy mustard! They are rumored to serve 6,000 sausages daily. . .you can either get 6, 8, or 10 in a serving. I went for the six :-)!

Delicious!!! I know there are only 5 on the plate I had already eaten one before I remembered to take the picture!

Stone Arch Bridge

After lunch we headed back to the hotel to get fitted for our bikes and then took them for a little test ride to see if all was good.

We got a bike trunks and headed back to the room to pack them with the essentials we would need for each day while riding. Rain jacket, snacks, locks, kleenex, etc were all stuffed into the trunk.

The group gathered together for the first time for a drink in the square, there are 19 riders and 4 guides for this trip. It will take a day or two to learn everyone's name, it looks like a fun group. The oldest rider is 77! I continue to be amazed on all our trips how many people in their mid to late 70's are doing these types of trips . . .I hope I grow up to be one of them!
