Denmark done

Special News: no flat tire and power connection is still working!!!! Finished Denmark.

Backstage Information: Stefan needs 3x water break during the first bike hour every day. We call it now Tiramisu (Torasemid...) Level 3, 2 or very very urgent 1. Second story: from yesterday, Norbert has a sunburn on his stomach...

Starting point (A): Ore Strandcamping,  Vordingborg / Denmark

Ending point (B): Helsingborg First Camp, Helsingborg / Sweden 

First Statistics from Professor Beierke:

Germany: 487km, 2023 meter of ascend (Höhenmeter HM), 19.8 houres

Denmark: 205km, 1066 HM, 8.3 houres 

We started today again at 6:30am (wake up was 5am...). It was a rainy day with about 20oC. We had the rain coat on the entire day. Unfortunately we did not see anything interesting on our way to the ferry, except the typical Danish bakery after 100km bike ride (at 11am...). Good cafe and sandwiches.

Alois went ahead with Frank and booked again a good place at the Camping site close to the ferry on the Swedish side. This gives us a good start for tomorrow. We are ahead of our plan by 70km to catch the booked ferry from Stockholm to Turku.

See you tomorrow!

    Dann gute Fahrt durch Südschweden!
    Das Höhenprofil ist ja ein ganz anderes als auf dem ersten Teil der Tour letztes Jahr. Da hattet ihr die Höhenmeter die ihr in Deutschland und Dänemark hattet in Spanien auf zwei Tagen.

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!!!

Peace

Image
  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!
