Black Forest Bike Tour: Freiburg to Titisee

We rode out of Freiburg and into the mountains of the Black Forest!  It was beautiful riding through the forest and into the mountains.  The forest reminded of us the Northwest with its lush pine forests.  We knew that the ride up the mountains was going to be tough when we looked at topo maps, but it was different to actually experience it.  We were riding on good, gravel roads through the mountains with no traffic.  However, the climb was really tough with all the weight on our bikes.  We kept climbing and climbing, and I was completely exhausted when we finally reached the top of the mountain.  We were rewarded for our climb by coasting down the mountain into Titisee.  It was a long, hard day of riding.  Although we did not cover many miles, it felt like we had biked a lot further.  We arrived at the campground, and we had another climb to get up the hill to get to the campground!  We made it to the campground, and we got to our campsite and collapsed.
