I decided to go to Danubiana Art Museum, 20 km south of downtown Bratislava, very near the border of Slovakia, Hungary, and Austria. It opened in 2000, and was founded by Gerard Meulensteen of Eindhoven, a Dutch collector and art patron, and Vincent Polakovič, a Slovak gallerist. It’s a 22 km ride from the hotel,Continue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 14”

Bratislava 2 – Day 13
Rain was forecast for today, but I set an alarm last night, just in case the forecast was wrong, and I could do a longer bike ride. Alas, it was raining when I awoke, and quite heavily. So I didn’t rush out of bed or over my breakfast. I felt less like I had aContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 13”
Bratislava 2 – Day 9
It was raining heavily when I got up today, and continued as I had my breakfast in the dining room. So I went back to the room to plan some routes for less rainy days. However, a little before noon I noticed that the sun was shining. One of the rides I had planned wasContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 9”
Bratislava 2 – Day 8
Today I decided to ride to the most visited sightseeing venue in all of Slovakia – Hrad (Castle) Devin. I decided to do a loop so that most of the route would be new to me, and I chose to do the climbing part at the beginning when my legs were fresh. Today was the firstContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 8”
Bratislava 2 – Day 7
It was quite a bit cooler today with a high of 4° feeling like minus one. I waited until midday to head out and bundled up with a down jacket, ski mitts, and balaclava under my helmet. This street has streetcar tracks, bike lanes in both direction, parking, and one-way only lanes for motor vehicleContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 7”
Bratislava 2 – Day 6
I decided to have a less active day today and didn’t set an alarm, but woke shortly after 8 AM, anyway. I brought a latte up to the room after breakfast, relaxed in the room, and didn’t head out until nearly 11:30. My goal was to explore a modern part of the city near theContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 6”
Bratislava 2 – Day 5
What an absolutely exceptional day I had today. I set my alarm for 8 AM, dressed in my cycling gear, and went down to the luggage room to bring the bike up to the room. I installed a bike seat that I know is comfortable that I brought from home, my lights and a barContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 5”
Rochester – Day 4
The day dawned beautifully sunny with a forecast high of 24°. We packed, checked out, and drove to Pittsford New York, a small town, which is part of the greater Rochester area, on the Erie Canal. The Eastman museum was on the way, and we stopped briefly to take a picture in the sun. TheContinue reading “Rochester – Day 4”
Rochester- Day 2
It’s easy to forget that Covid is still circulating and continues to be a potentially deadly and disabling disease. I caught it for the first time at the end of March of this year. I would preferred not to catch it again . One of the things that I do help me evaluate risk isContinue reading “Rochester- Day 2”
Calgary – Day 5
It was 9° when we were leaving this morning, so I had my vest on the bed to take. When I went into the room to put it into my backpack I found Cat making himself at home. We thought we were in time to get the bus that would get us to Outlaw SportsContinue reading “Calgary – Day 5”
