So, that’s it. 🥳🥳🥳 Or maybe not 😳😳😳

On the penultimate day, I was guided by the route along canals to Charleroi. The ride was mostly relaxed, aside from three roadblo

Well, it was somewhat clear that it wouldn’t continue as perfectly as yesterday. 😉

I have to say, today was really one of the most relaxing days of my cycling trip. Although by the end I had clocked over 90 kilome

Halftime! 502.3 kilometers completed, including the laps in the evening. The start today was a bit rocky. My legs felt heavy, I wa

And the next 138km on the odometer. But these were also completely relaxed and if you take the 25km straight along the canal

30 degrees and it feels like a refreshing cool down. 🥶 Crazy times.

Phew. Today was a battle against the heat. 🥵🪭 I must admit, I really don't have much desire or motivation to write.

Everything is ready and tomorrow morning it begins. I plan to start very early, hoping to escape the worst heat. But that's probably wishful thinking. Tomorrow will be a tough...

There are still a few days to go, but the preparations are complete! Now we’re all keeping our f

which makes planning with Komoot quite challenging. I actually feel safer on German country roads. 😬 I can only describe the people in one word. Heartwarming. I have only had...

Conclusion for today: what gets wet will dry again, and if you're sleeping on a farm, don't be surprised if the rooster crows continuously from 5:00 AM😁 Thus, the night was...

Phew. 😮‍💨 When you realize after 5 meters that it’s not going to work out today, but you have to push through anyway. 😵😵‍💫 Somehow, the mindset just didn’t fit today. It...

Oh man, I don't even know what to say about today? I'll keep it short; it was simply amazing. 😀😀😀 Everything worked perfectly from morning till night. I easily caught the...

Oh man. What was initially planned as a relaxing day of about 80 km turned out to be a bit hectic in between. After nearly 10 km, a spoke broke again. 😤😤 I do have a spare,...

Second day of the tour, first one completely in Denmark. Let's just say, it's not love at first sight. I'm not quite warming up to the country yet. It can't be the people,...

I don't really know what to write. Quiet night in the hotel, delicious breakfast, bike is running well, legs are strong, weather is practically perfect.

First step complete. Overall about an hour of traffic on the way, and my butt hurts more than 8 hours on the bike, but otherwise everything is great. My family and I have been...

So, it’s that time again. All preparations are complete and packed. Even though it has sometimes been a small challenge with the hangovers. 🙄😊 So tomorrow it begins. First...

So, I'm back home with my wife and cats. 😀 After surviving yesterday's shooting festival in Oeding, 😉 today there was a leisurely, short final stage to Haltern am See. No...

So, that's basically it.😀😔 Today I rode the last major stage. A very relaxed 110 km in perfect weather. Tomorrow we'll just go to Haltern am See, take a drive around the...

So - what do we think of today?! First rain - then sun. First headwind - then tailwind. Yes, that was it, in a way. 😀 OK, let's go into a little more detail: After...

Traveled at a bit of a leisurely pace today. On the one hand, I wanted to take it easy after the 137 km yesterday, and on the other hand, my stomach was bothering me a bit...

Umpffff. What a day. 137 KM were definitely not planned.🥵 Sequentially. At first I didn't want to believe the signs in front of the dunes near Zaandvort saying...

What did we learn today? Don't rely on the weather forecast. Showers and thunderstorms were forecast for today around midday. But no luck. It was warm and sunny. OK, there...

There he was, the enemy of every cyclist. The headwind 🤬 Over about 80 out of 100 KM at 10 knots (about 19Km/H) always in the face. But otherwise it was another great day....

Apart from a heavy rain shower near Eindhoven, an absolutely uneventful day. We started right on time at 10:00 just past Venlo to then tackle the good 100 KM in a relaxed manner...
