SKOAL, er, Scuol

I had heard the other day that the weather forecast was for snow above 1300 meters, which meant St. Moritz. I thought the guy was full of shit, until this morning. SNOW! It was above probably 2000 meters, and St. Moritz is at 1700, but there was a little bit of the fluffy stuff falling when I left. This made it easy for me to decide to take the ole' train today to Scuol. Even if it was only 70 km, I really didn.t feel like riding in below freezing temps with only arm/knee warmers and a rain jacket. Oh, I guess the assless chaps could help, but you get the picture, it was cold enough. I got here and noticed many runners coming into town, like there was an event going on. Such is the case, the Trans Alp Challenge, or something like that. 8 days, 240 km, starting in Germany and ending in Italy. No thanks, I like the bike too much. But I did go to the spa, and it was worth it! 25 CHF for 2.5 hours, but I was only there for about 1.5 hours. Too much water causes prunage, and I no likeage. So now I.m at the internet cafe for 16 CHF per hour, OUCH, and about to upload pics for my loyal zealots that are following me on this epic journey. I think tomorrow is about a 50k ride to Landeck, Austria. Although it may get cold again and I.ll wuss out and take the train. Like I care at this point! I will be in Munich on Thursday, or maybe tomorrow.... Hell, I don.t know. But I will be in Prague on Friday to meet up with Petra. Ok, time to upload pics. Hope you all enjoy, now get the hell off my page.
