This cycle path bollard finished our Gibraltar-Nordkap tour after 18 days and 2534km (47%) and 19,519 Altitude Meter (53%).

Klaus touched this bollard with his handlebar and fell down to the street. I followed him closely and tried to avoid hitting him. The street curb finished my trial and touchdown was unavoidable. I hit the street with my helmet and right Clavicular (Schlüsselbein..).

I can tell that Klaus and my helmet were broken, but our heads were both ok. Think about wearing your helmet always you ride a bike. It can save your life!!

Medicus Klaus came pretty fast to the conclusion that my Clavicular was broken. 

End of this story: 

Ambulance came, brought me and Klaus to the Hospital (300m away) - after 3 hours we left the Hospital because no doctor was coming, drove to Edewecht and our house where Beate was waiting (now around midnight), took shower and went to bed.

This morning Klaus and I went to the Hospital in Westerstede and we saw the doctor after 30 minutes. I need surgery during the next days and the rest of the team drove back to Bavaria.

It was a fantastic and adventures tour with 4 close friends Klaus, Stefan, Alois and Norbert. We learned a lot of lessons and will remember every moment. It was exhausting, but worth it to burn 5500 kalories every day. 

We may continue in 1 year to see the Nordkap.
