14 to Bargen

Distance 73 kilometers, cumulative 1,143 kilometers | Elevation gain 470, cumulative 5,930 meters, distance to home 63 kilometers

Now I have only one tour left ahead of me. According to my plan, I will be home tomorrow, exactly 2 weeks after my departure. Maybe that's why the sky is crying. At least many tears fell from the clouds today. And tomorrow there are expected to be many more. So another rainy rest day? NO, definitely not. Because rain doesn't really bother me much while cycling. And since I have enough hot water for a shower and many dry clothes to wear tomorrow, I will take it a bit easier.

Since I had a significant climb the day before yesterday, I was able to benefit from it today. I had to brake more than pedal down to Estavayer. From there, it was a mix of ups and downs until it finally became completely flat.

A few times, I let the heaviest rain pass while in a dry spot. Then, at times, there was no rain at all, and the sun even showed itself in between.

I had never been to St. Peter's Island before. I didn't want to miss this today. Although it was a detour of over ten kilometers, it was worth it. Additionally, the weather was dry or even sunny the whole time.

On the recommendation of my hosts today, I also visited the nearby village of Erlach. This detour was very much worth it. The place reminded me a lot of Gruyère. I can highly recommend a trip there.

Today, a strong to stormy westerly wind was also blowing. This helped me along long stretches and pushed me almost like a second engine.

After settling into my accommodation in Bargen, I walked to Aarberg to buy a few small things.

Ahora solo me queda una gira más por delante. Según mi plan, volveré a casa mañana, exactamente 2 semanas después de mi partida. Quizás por eso llora el cielo. Al menos hoy brotaron muchas lágrimas de las nubes. Y mañana habrá muchos más. ¿Otro día libre de la lluvia? NO, definitivamente no. Básicamente, la lluvia no me molesta mucho cuando voy en bicicleta. Y como mañana tengo suficiente agua caliente para ducharme y mucha ropa seca para ponerme, me lo tomaré con más calma.

Como anteayer tuve una gran subida al final, hoy pude aprovecharla. Durante todo el camino hasta Estavayer tuve que frenar algo más que pedalear. A partir de ahí fue subiendo y bajando hasta que finalmente quedó completamente plano.

Algunas veces dejé pasar la lluvia más fuerte en un lugar seco. Luego dejó de llover durante un tiempo y el sol también apareció en el medio.

Nunca he estado en la isla de San Pedro. No quería perderme esto hoy. Fue un desvío de más de diez kilómetros, pero valió la pena. Además, el tiempo estuvo seco o incluso soleado todo el tiempo.

Por recomendación de mis anfitriones hoy también visité el cercano pueblo de Erlach. Este desvío también valió la pena. El lugar me recordó mucho a Gruyère. Puedo recomendar encarecidamente un viaje allí.

Hoy también soplaba un viento fuerte o tormentoso del oeste. Esto me ayudó en largas distancias y me impulsó casi como un segundo motor.

Después de ocupar mi alojamiento en Bargen, caminé hasta Aarberg para comprar pequeñas cosas.

Now I only have one more tour ahead of me. According to my plan, I will be back home tomorrow, exactly 2 weeks after I left. Maybe that's why the sky is crying.

Because rain doesn't really bother me when I'm cycling. And because I'll have enough hot water to shower with tomorrow and lots of dry clothes to wear, I'll take it a little easier.

Since I had quite a climb at the end the day before yesterday, I was able to benefit from it today. I had to brake more than pedal down to Estavayer. From then on it was up and down until it finally became completely flat.
