I guess it’s time to rally around the flag. I’ve been off the grid for a while, kind of incommunicado. Sometimes life throws stuff at you. Worries about ones you love, insomnia, no energy.

I was all set for our ride 15 km to the west of Munich, to our second-to-last hochbunker. Before leaving, I cast one more look at the website description of the structure to make sure I would find it – then I noticed the small print. It was demolished in 2013.
