  • Day Seventeen

    We packed up quick and went to get breakfast at a grocery store – fruits and some bread. Todays route was pretty uneventful, the landscape changed to what we were used to from northern Germany, so very flat with fields. We did however ride through a wineyard which was pretty cool. We had headwinds most…

  • Day Sixteen

    We woke up the the beautiful view of the hills with a castle on and the Rhine river at its feet, we enjoyed our breakfast and headed on to the route. Todays ride was good for the most part, there was a segment with mud but otherwise it was nice pavement. We had our first…

  • Day Fifteen

    This morning we packed our stuff and headed into to Koblenz for breakfast, but only Italien pizza places had open since it was sunday. We had some nice pizzas and left our bikes at the restaurant. Before leaving the city we took a lidt up to an old fortress and a viewpoint, the fortress was…

  • Day Fourteen

    Up super early, most things were moist and we just wanted to get out of the “bog camp”. With only a few kilometers to Bonn, we mounted up and went for breakfast at a bakery. Todays ride brought us to Koblenz and along the path we Saw small mountains, old castles and ruins, and ofcourse…

  • Day Thirteen

    Woke up at the nice hippie camping place and went for a good solid breakfast at a bakery nearby. We headed to Köln quick as the weather was extreme and toasting us, at Köln we had a nice burger with fries and yes beers! Before we left the city we went to see Kölner Dom…

    We started the day with packing as much as we could and then went to get breakfast while the last things dried out. For breakfast we got some nice sandwhiches from a bakery. Before leaving Duisburg we went to Salvatorekirche to have a look inside and take some drone shots, it was a bit undershelming…

  • Day Eleven

    Today we started the day off by packing in semi rain, after we packed and had our buns and granulat bars we decided to put on rain gear and head for the roads. We had a very good flow and the kilometers got beaten fast – we reached Wesel quick and saw the first sign…

  • Day Ten

    Today was a bit of a “transport”-day, we left the nice camping place after our breakfast and quickly we faced the wind straight and bumpy roads for almost the entire ride. We did have some nachos and a coke in Haltern am See which was a pretty nice and lively city. For camp we tried…

  • Day Nine

    Today i slept in until 9:45… ups. When we had everything packed we went to the city for a quick sandwhich and to withdraw some cash. We really hit the cycle-zen-zone today, the start was a crazy and technical 200m climb, amazing roads and trails! After that it was a straight forward ride on very…

  • Day Eight

    DRY OUT EVERYTHING! Was the motto of this morning – our tent, bile gear and clothes and bags were all soaked from the rain yesterday. We spent the first hour and a half drying things in the sun. We tried to grab some breakfast to bake meanwhile, but everything was closed since it was a…
