Arrived in Zoffingen at 2:00 pm after only a 60 kilometer ride from Solothurn, our last stop. Yes it is a cute walled medieval city. As most places we've stopped, it is not a tourist city and is comfortable being here. They do have the big 3 C's though (cheese, chocolate and clocks) plus the rail station. Some climbing but mostly beautiful meadows on our ride. Rode by many happy looking cows today. It is amazing how much more everyone is enjoying the tour too. We know each other, we have all gained strength and we have accepted the peculiarities of our bikes. Stopped at a fabulous St Urban Abbey for lunch. A beautiful choir, alter and organ. It is virually in the middle of nowhere The Abbey proper is very large and now serves as a sanatorium after falling into debt back in 1857. The California legislature could meet here Otherwise today was a ride through bucolic Switzerland.
