I would have loved to have been at the party. Did your team win anything? (I assume your workplace took up the commuter challenge...)

Next day after Basel ride, we cycled 99 kms. with our loaded panniers to Strasbourg, France from Freiburg, Germany. Great ride, many little neat German towns along the route. Good thing he knew his German well enough to ask for directions. Helps alot.

And Strasbourg is just bursting with cyclists.
