It\u2019s something called cyclist\u2019s palsy, similar to carpel tunnel. I think I\u2019ll need to do some PT when I get home. In the meantime, we are biking much shorter distances than Rick had originally envisioned. His return trip to Munich via the Alps will be challenging. Fewer days to do it, and he hasn\u2019t biked hard enough on the first half of the trip to kick into super athletic mode.<br \/>\nWe arrived by train in Vienna on Tuesday and rode our bikes to Schonbrun Palace.
