Today’s ride on Komoot After a day when I did little else but sleep, lounge around and eat, I felt no better than the day before. I still felt like the flu was about to start. As a result, my approach today was to take it as easy as possible and I’d decide my destination …
Today was another of those days. The ones where I’m concerned about how hard the ride will be. I shouldn’t get like this. I’ve covered more than 23,000 kilometres and nothing so far has been insurmountable. The ride was a short 60kms but included the climb of Gospel Pass which looked a bit ominous on …
Part 1 of today’s ride on Komoot Part 2 of today’s ride on Komoot The campsite is beautiful here at the Daneway Inn. It’s hidden from the Inn, down near a creek. I could hear deer last night. Luckily I was warned about them or I wouldn’t have known what the sound was. It’s somewhere …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had a leisurely breakfast because it was a fairly cold morning and I didn’t want to be rushed at all. It was very quiet at the campground – not many people around, but I had a good chat to the old guy running it. He’s 84 years old and doing …
It was really sad to say goodbye to Timo, Kath and Minou today. Minou has a big adventure to Holland starting today, and I was strangely apprehensive about cycling across England and Wales to get the ferry to Ireland. Timo and Kath can finally enjoy London life without friends and family sleeping on the spare …
4 degrees at 8am again, so I was in no mood to hurry. My plan today was to ride to Melun then take a train into Paris. First, I rode to the small supermarket and got some goodies for breakfast, then found a spot in the morning sun, and sat down and made coffee and …
It was cold this morning, just 5 degrees at 8am. That meant that I wasn’t in a hurry to get going which meant the usual slow start. The campground here was very quiet but I left, well fed and with all devices completely charged. You can’t ask for more than that. I had made it …
This was another day of two halves. I had an apartment overnight, so I had a huge breakfast before leaving. As soon as I stepped out, it started to drizzle but I had to get some food for the day. Google suggested a Boulangerie around the corner – permanently closed. So, while searching for the …
Success ! All of my gear was dry this morning, the sun was out, I was warm, had breakfast and everything was good with the world again. Truth is, I would have been very happy if only half of those things had happened, so it was going to be a good day. I had breakfast …
After all of the bell ringing last night,I had a slow and sleepy start to the day. I rode through the town, looked around, tried another bike shop, found a bakery and a grocery store, loaded up and got going. The first ten or fifteen kms of the ride were again, just perfect. Then some …
