Reunion ride in the Dolomites
This week was special. Julie from the United States and Werner from Austria they both had done this training before. Julie even four times! She was a good rider already and now is simply excellent.
Werner as an Austrian and former car racer is familiar with curvy asphalt and vehicle dynamics as well. So what was left to do was only working on details. For extra challenge we sneaked onto roads which were not exactly prohibited for us but clearly meant for locals only and therefor super tight and steep. (Sorry for no pictures from those places but there was (and is) no space wide and level enough to park a motorcycle).
In our hotel we met Mike and Christine who joined us for the meals but being a multi time Edelweiss traveler Mike knows his way around and does his own travel blog now.
On our day in the Ladin speeking area of South Tirol we were having lunch at the excellent hotel restaurant La Tor as usual. But this time the owners Inge and Walter who participated in the Edelweiss Patagonia Tour some years ago could not resist the itching we caused with our smiles. They put their kids in charge of the restaurant, hopped on their bikes and came along on a part of our afternoon ride. To make the reunion feeling perfect we ran into an Edelweiss Harley Tour in smiling disbelieving. Let us just show a few pictures of the week. There aint many since we forgot to take them due to the fun we had all the time.
