Day 9 - Monday 8 June: Wurzburg to Schweinfurt
Estimated km: 46km; Actual km: 92; Total km: 330; Ride time: 5h33m; Start time: 8am; End time: 3:30pm; Av speed: 16.6 kph 14-18 deg C, overcast, cool with periods of drizzle. Whilst we could have cut across country again today and saved 40km and time, we would have missed the Bavarian villages and river scenery. Our rain coats were well used today, both to keep out the light rain and the rather cool conditions. The first 30kms were fast and easy, (tailwind) the remaining 60km were into a headwind and a bit challenging. However we all did the whole journey fairly easily in the end, at an average speed of 17km/h (rounded-up, of course!) Not a spectacular day's riding with the rain around so we made few stops. A brief look in a monastery church just as the monks were filing out after prayers was interesting and an aircraft museum, which was closed, looked like it had some potential from the outside. But in the main we pressed on. We ended up arriving at the hotel...
