Updated breakdown of each stage/day of the trip

(see previous post for more details about the trip)

Ugh...it's Sunday, 5:00AM, and through sleepy eyes I realize that this is the *big* day. Over 1,000 kilometers and six days of cycle-touring heaven and hell await me on the road to Germersheim.

Time to pack up and go! Watch this blog for updates!
