Finally in Austria

 After another 12 hours of diving and a 300 Euro speeding ticket, the guys have finally made it to Austria.  The staff at Stradalli Germany told us they were going to book the best hotels for our team, but it turns out that they booked them at a family resort with 500 little kids running around.  Hope the guys find a some time to relax between races!  To make it worse, it's about a 45 minute ride to the start of the race, and its all up hill.  At least its all downhill after the race!
Anyway, they started unloading the bikes, and started prepping the Phantom II and Como for the races coming up. 

 

Finally In Frankfurt

We got to Frankfurt Yesterday, and after making our way through customs it was another 2 hours till we got our luggage and rental car.  The contract for the car said SUV, which in European terms means Mini Cooper.  We didn't even have an inch left to spare when we loaded it up with all the bikes and equipment.  After loading the car, up we went for for lunch, only to deal with another 2 hours of traffic once we left.   We finally made it to Mom's and ate like champions.  Then, we sorted all the gear and built the bikes.  I hate to admit this, but getting older mixed with jet-lag gets harder and harder.  By the time we were done it was close to Midnight.

This morning we got our first ride in.  It was a solid 50 miles of the German country side.  Tomorrow, we are heading to Austria at 5:30a.m.  That's right, another 10 hour car ride ahead of us.  We will have some pics up tomorrow for everyone.
