7/11 Muhlbach, italy

Today we learned about shortcuts.  We got an early start through the towns of Wattens and velders, the latter with the challenging church door.  Nice flat ride along the inn river to Innsbruck where Jason and Leiter climbed up to the brenner pass, while the rest of us toured around the old town - and took the train shortcut to avoid 40km and 1000 meter climb.
Stunning views all around on the mostly free ride down to mulbach (max speed 56 kph) - except for the 2nd shortcut through aicha/aicha.  Cost us an extra hundred+ feet of climbing, to save less than a km.  Highlight town of sterzing, except for getting lost.   93km of paved paths, and 2 more low speed crashes - lowenstein alone,and leiters taking each other out.
