Home - once againKoblenz 160 km

haven't written anything for a while, but I knew I was going again, this time only briefly, first to Cologne for a concert (Supergroup Transatlantic). Apart from that, there's so much going on in my life right now that I'll write about it when I see land again. A lot of things are in motion and that's actually a good thing. At least the company should be up and running soon, other things are on the move. Last weekend was a long birthday weekend in Hamburg. That was great. I was allowed to spend half a year in Hamburg a long time ago, and the city has changed. Be it through Corona or something else. Tina Turner is a great musical, it's going to Stuttgart now, so my recommendation: go see it! And today, bah! My thighs haven't really recovered from the Moselle tour, it was tough. At least the first 60 km to Wiesbaden Biebrich were on the R3 (Radschnellweg Hessen) and then I rode down the Rhine to the right. I hadn't seen the route from this perspective before and what can I say? The other side is better. One section was closed to cyclists anyway. I found out afterwards, after I had passed through. 2 sections, only one lane with traffic lights. The speed limit was a 30 km/h, which I could do on both sections, so no problem. I looked at the diversions afterwards, for "experienced" cyclists or by means of a chargeable ferry to change the Rhine side. What can I say, it's clear that the weaker cyclists are discriminated again. That's just the way it is. Then onwards. The heat, up to 38°C, got to me today, due to the new "weekend" luggage configuration, I didn't have as much water with me as I painfully realised. Apart from that, it's great to ride with less luggage, i.e. much less luggage, as the bags are limited. I'm curious if I'll get everything packed tomorrow, finally a tunnel tent, small pack size, low weight but tight. I just got the last tent pitch on the campsite directly opposite the Deutsches Eck, or rather the two nice American ladies next to me, I forgot, i have someone(two) to chat this evening 😆 it's the holidays and I think I'll make it official now. I hate parents! So your kids are cute, but you? Pfffffffff get a grip, at work you rest from your children and when I look at it, on holiday, really, child rearing with beer bottle and cigarette in the mouth and besides roast sausages and shout on your offspring when the 2 year old hope does not hit the badly thrown ball but falls down. When a thing is genetic.... beating alone does not correct. Or carry your offspring around the campsite after showering together on your man chest like a trophy, och jö! You did it! Applause. Lap of honour! So tomorrow we'll continue in a relaxed manner, I'm already feeling the muscle cramps, I'll probably have to do another roundwalking on the campsite later, let's see if the young man is still carrying Messiahs in front of him, or if his mother has swapped it for a bundle of washing in the meantime. In this sense, good night
