Tour of the Alps 2011

In June and July, XiaoQin, Phil Sung, and I visited Europe to do a cycling and hiking tour of the Alps. The cycling portion of the trip went over 862 miles with 94,957 feet of climb. The hiking portion was 27.9 miles with 7,963' of climb. We had one flat tire, one derailleur mechanical, and a strange dust cap melt-down. We had several days of rain, but only a couple of days where rain stopped us or forced us to cut a ride short.

This is the index page for the trip report, and collects all the photos.
