Continue reading →: Day 35 – Freidrichsdorf to Coesfeld70 miles (113 km) – Total so far: 2,110 miles (3,396 km) It may only have cost €35 but the hotel wasn’t great. It was on a road that was busier than I expected and very noisy with traffic. But after a symbolic breakfast rather than one with any content I…

Continue reading →: Day 34 – Holzingen to Friedrichsdorf70 miles (112 km) – Total so far: 2,039 miles (3,282 km) The mornings certainly are getting tougher to rise. I treat myself to a 15 minute lie down after breakfast, and that is probably the most difficult but, getting up from that. Once on the bike, no problem at all,…

Continue reading →: Day 33 – Wofhagen Im Harz to HolzmindenGreat weather and great riding today. Firstly a correction though. I said yesterday I was on Eurovelo 1 when actually it is route 2, which in Germany is called EuroRadweg 1. Either way, I’m on that route for a few days, but this morning thought I would do a bit…

Regarding the latter, there…

Continue reading →: Day 29 – St Michaelisdonn to Schwanewede69 miles (111 km) – Total so far: 1,736 miles (2,793 km) A cloudy and dull day dawned with that wind still from the southwest, but as usual, in the mornings is less. It was 20 kilometres to the ferry, but a 20 km not without its problems. I arrived at…

Local beer was decent also. It’s getting harder to get out of bed before 8. This rough room that…

Continue reading →: Day 27 – Esbjerg to Dagebull (end of Bike Denmark)72 miles (116 km) – Total so far: 1,600 miles (2,575 km) Decent speed internet at the hotel allowed me to watch the first bit of Olympics, a highlight being GBs win just, over Argentina in the rugby sevens quarters. Change of weather today but not necessarily any better. Wind straight…

Each night there is a special and it was the Danish national dish, not surprisingly pork, potatoes and beetroot. Tremendous. No sign though of any change to the weather early this morning. Heavy showers peppered…
