Neustadt Autofreitag

We so enjoyed the autofreitag in Mittelbrunn early this summer we wanted to do another... especially since we now all have bikes. C, R and S were in need and we found some on sale end of the season...so we were off. We took the train from Landstuhl (after shuttling all 7 bikes to the station cause our car rack can only fit three at a time) headed to Neustadt. We rode on the Weinstrasse, which is a stretch somewhat famous in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz where alot of German wine is made. We started out together, then stopped for lunch, and then dad and the older boys went much faster ,and M and I and C and J took our time enjoying the view! The faster group rode about 30 miles all together. Us slower ones about 10 miles.


Our 7 bikes resting before we split into fast and slow groups.

C and J find a huge mushroom

We took time for C to climb the beer crates as her older siblings got to do in Garmisch last summer. This year she was tall enough!

It was a beautiful day!! The train ride back was a little crowded and thus hectic to get our 7 bikes back on the train but we made it ... and have good memories to share.
