Day 64, Wednesday 22 July 1970

Distance: 165 km
Weather: Beautiful, not much wind, not too hot.

From Oberndorf in the Neckar valley I had to climb to get on a plateau going to Freudenstadt. Took my bike in for more repairs: 2 new spokes, new front tube, new front tyre. From there downhill to the Murg valley, a scenic route to Gernsbach. Had some refreshments there, and then it was back to climbing again out of that valley to Karlsruhe where I started back downhill. Not as fast this stretch.

I called home from Karlsruhe and had a coffee. Crossed the Rhine, and then uphill once again. At the camping, I first put up my tent, then a nice cold shower, and for a meal I had bread with jam and pudding as desert. I had left my new sweater given to me by Kapan in the supermarket in Landau. Stupid he?!
