Because I just had to cycle the circular path around Schloss Karlsruhe. Not a reference to anyone’s aching nethers at all!

 Getting out of Karlsruhe |
 A portion of giraffes? |
 What is a ‘salle polyvalente’? |
 A serious international border! |
 Not the Rubicon! |
 How knew we were suddenly in Germany |
 The other clue |

We’ve run out of France…
… so are now in Germany
- distance cycled: 59.7 miles (Strasbourg to Karlsruhe)
- cumulative cycling: 440.2 miles
Heimlich!
because so many place names in Alsace end in ‘-heim’. My favourites so far are Algolsheim and Plobsheim, with Ohnenheim (which I mistranslate as ‘homeless’) coming a close third.
- Distance cycled: 48.1 miles (Neuf-Brisach to Strasbourg, including 3.6 miles that cyclemeter didn’t record)
- cumulative cycling: 380.5 miles
Breaking the sound barrier

- cycling distance: 48.6 miles (Konstanz to Kaiserstuhl)
- cumulative distance: 234.0 miles
Fractal in at least two dimensions
Following a river-route is bound to be fractal in the horizontal plane, but why does it also oscillate unpredictably in the vertical plane?
- cycling distance: 37.6 miles (Bregenz to Meersburg + 0.4 miles to the ferry) + 2.4 miles (Meersburg to Konstanz – 2.9 miles of ferry) = 37.4 miles
- cumulative distance: 185.4 miles
Don’t double-dip the chamois-cream!
For non-cyclist readers, chamois-cream is unguent applied to those parts of cyclists most likely to chafe. It should be obvious why a second scoop, at least with the hand that applied the first scoop, is a serious breach of hygiene and marital etiquette! NB I have not done this!
- distance cycled: 16.8 miles (Maienfeld to Buchs) + 27.1 (Buchs to Hard) + 3.2 miles (Hard to Bregenz – Google Maps estimate) = 47.1 miles
- cumulative distance: 147.8 miles
