PICTURES!!!

I'm adding pictures and updating previous posts with entries from my cycling journal. My intention is that this will form some sort of trip report. It will probably take a few days, I'll post again when its complete. Use the list of postings to see the updated postings now with cycling notes and pictures.

Some stats for the trip:
- Lund, Sweden to Monthey, Switzerland (Nick and Ben) 1604km over 16 days (over 100km/day avg.)
- Zurich, Switzerland to Lund, Sweden (Ben solo) 1003km over 9 days (still over 100km/day avg.)
- Ben's Cycling Total: 2,607km
- 15 Metric Century Rides (100 km)
- 2 Imperial Century Rides (100 miles)
- 7 flat tires for Ben; 3(?) for Nick
- 1 Crash
- 5 countries, 4 currencies, 4 languages


Here's a rough map of where our adventure and my solo return (I don't have the details of Nick trip to Modor...I mean Slovenia).
