After long months of waiting, my Nordland tour finally started today. And that in the best weather.
The tour led via Zofingen and Olten. Further over the Hauenstein, which I had great respect for. But there was very little traffic, which made this part a nice experience as well. The next challenge was Basel, a city almost unknown to me. This time I rode along the Rhine, which was much more beautiful than the proposed route.
However, suddenly there was a bigger problem at the three-country point, I got cramps in my right leg and eventually in my left leg as well. So I walked a good distance and took a powder with magnesium, which didn't immediately help. When I felt better again, I got back on the bike and with small breaks I continued north along the Rhine.
The route along the Rhine goes through a wonderful floodplain landscape, which is almost always flat, so you can make quick progress.
At the entrance to Bad Krozingen, the muscle cramps started again. Fortunately, only for a short time, which I covered on foot. At almost exactly 5 p.m., I reached the hotel that I already knew from my training tour. That is the only hotel I have booked for the entire tour. I will search for all the others unplanned.
