Peace

 After a good breakfast we were heading towards Enschede, the place we had to finish our tour last year. The distance was 170km from Edewecht to Enschede. To make peace with this town, we had to meet at the polder to start our tour to the Northkap this year.

Done.

Start of our tour was 12:30pm and we did 75km today. At 30oC it was a smooth and warm ride with no event or break. Alois went ahead with Frank and reserved a nice camping site place at the sea in Haselünne.

Had a relaxed evening with great shower, good barbecue with salad and walk to the Haselünner sea.

See you tomorrow!

      Danke - zumindest das Wetter Regen hat sich zeitweise unentschieden
      Der Wind von SW war sehr hilfreich.
      Dank und Ciao
      Stefan
      PS.: bis jetzt kein Unfall

    Wünsche euch eine schöne Tour an das Nordende Europas.
    Das erste Höhenprofil hat ja etwas entspannter ausgesehen als die Höhenprofile vor einem Jahr zum Tourstart.

Training for 2 - for 2025 Tour

Image
 Stefan and I had a rainy training for 6 days on Mallorca. With total of 520km and 7000 AM we basically met the biking work from last year - except: we got totally wet on 4 training days of 6!! Germany has fantastic weather these weeks and we fly to this beautiful island for getting wet. At least we trained for consecutive 6 days and still have a lot of training to do for the next 6 weeks before we start our second part of our tour. We look forward for this tour!!!
