Lichtenstein Vaduz (Far far away) to Strengen Austria
Leaving far far away we headed along the Levee of the Rhine past Lord Farquaat castle heading through a small pass into the Arlburg region of Austria.
Once in the Arlburg valley we started to climb to cross the Arlburg pass – a monsterous 1360 metre climb, after two hours climbing we reached Stuben im Arlburg after climbing 980 metres to meet Simone and Carenca – who oddly were in another Stuben over 50 miles away! – without food or water we were luckily saved by the Inn keeper who rustled up a Snitzel to save us.
After a hearty lunch and snooze we were about to climb the remaining 380 metres but due to a road closure diverting large lorries through the tunnels we were not allowed to climb. We had to get a bus to St. Anton.
From St. Anton we rode to Strengen to complete the days ride.

Moment of madness caused be excessive climbing
We got this far
You both have cycled endlessly for this worthy cause of Diabetics Well done and you both should be extremely proud of yourselves.
