Summary Post: Austria

May 16th, 2012 by DC

Wahoo, time for another Summary Post! This time it’s Austria, which was a really nice country.

As you’ll know if you’ve read my blog posts is that I spent more time in cities than riding my bike through Austria. This was because I was waiting for my friend in Salzburg then visiting Vienna..

The riding was great, generally on cycle routes,

Days in country: 7
Days riding: 3
Kilometres ridden: 274 km (longest day 109km (some of which was in Czech))
Running total (nearest 10km): 2520km
Accom cost: ~90 Euro (Due to quite a few nights in hostels)
Other costs: ~120 Euro (Lots of beer, and transport to and from Vienna)
Flats: None!! Yay.
Tunnels built specifically for bicycle transport: One!
Times I set up the tent whilst getting pelted by hail in a thunderstorm: once..
Time after tent was set up that sun came out: 20 minutes.
Favourite food/drink: The most interesting was the pumpkin seed oil on the salad at my warmshowers hosts!
1 night in a campground, 4 nights in hostels and 2 nights with Warmshowers hosts.
Favourite photo: Treelined road. I like the hill in the background too as it shows the sort of landscape I was riding through.
