Index Page: 2025 Tour of the Dolomites, Slovenia, Austria, and Engadin Alps

 From June 9th to July 4th, Xiaoqin, Bowen, Boen and myself execute a cycle tour starting in the Dolomites and visiting Slovenia, Austria, the Stelvio, and then the Engadin Alps. This was Bowen's first tour riding on his single bike, a Rivendell Roadini. This was Xiaoqin's first tour on her Ritchey Logic Road bike. Joining us for the first 2 and a half weeks or so were Arturo Crespo, Mark Brody, Stephan Ellner, his son Otto, his father Otto Sr.. Joining us for just a few days was Ben Kochie. This was Stephan and Otto's first tour on their Co-Motion Periscope tandem. We totaled 732 miles (1178km) and 57005' (17375m) of climbing on the bike, and 70 miles (112km) and 10466'  (3190m) of climbing on foot. We had one flat tire, one bent chainring prior to the start, and just a couple of days of riding in the rain. Bowen's Garmin Edge 830 died due to screen delamination during the trip. We lost a water bottle, Stephan broke a pair of cycling shoes and his Pixel 6a (which was cracked at the start of the tour) also died during the tour.

This is the index page and collection for our photos, some videos, and day by day trip reports.
