But it&#8217;s just too late in the piece for me to contemplate a full and proper description of today&#8217;s magnificent ride. A bare bones description will have to suffice but hopefully the photos will adequately compensate for my lack of words.<\/p>\n<p>Before I describe the ride though I&#8217;d like to introduce our friends Matthias and Karin, who we&#8217;d only met via Strava and email before they came to Br\u00e4ulingen to have dinner with the group and so Matthias could ride with us to Eguishem. They&#8217;re from Friebourg which is very near the middle of our ride today. It was a special moment to meet them in person last night and share the company of the group, and a special experience to have Matthias ride with us today. Many thanks to everyone &#8211; especially our fantastic guides &#8211; for making them feel so welcome. Here&#8217;s a photo of the four of us together &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1197\" src=\"http:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-830x623.jpg 830w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-230x173.jpg 230w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/what-becomes-of-the-lionhearted\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/IMG_9459-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everyone was keen to make a quick start with temperatures later in the day forecast to be fairly high.
