Well, this is unfortunate. Blogsy lost my day 3 and 4 drafts. Not that my old attempts were works of Shakespeare, but I miss the effort I put into them. :(
Anyway.
I just did a bunch of riding today. Rode from Heidelberg to Switzerland (oops) with a detour into what turned out to be only a small sampling of the Black Forest. Then back up to Breisach am Rhien, Germany to stay at a motorcycle-friendly hotel called the Kapuzinergarten.
The dinner at the Kapuzinergarten was excellent. I had essentially a horse steak with scalloped potatoes, and a chocolate dessert tray.
The horse steak reminded me of a very lean new york beef fillet. The scalloped potatoes were baked with a very mild cheese on top, served in two helpings (so it was always warm) and was possibly one of the best I've had in years.
The room I had was excellent, with a view over the town and into the Black Forest.
The only disappointing part of this stay, besides the untrivial cost, was getting kicked off the patio and having to eat inside because "it was too cold for the staff". Seriously, 18-20c is too cold! They need to visit Canada when patio season starts.
Premium (95 RON), prices in this area of Germany appear to be about EUR 1.69/L, or CAD $2.09/L.
Averaging 5.7 L/100 km today, at roughly 130 km/h
