The day when I usually would have quit: Bamberg to Eisfeld
Yesterday was the day, on which I would usually have given up my whole “cycling through Germany” adventure.

If you’re interested what happened and why I’m still on tour, keep on reading 😉 -
Bavaria can be flat: Nuremberg to Bamberg
I would never have thought that Bavaria can be that flat but today the route was absolutely flat – or going a little downhill….what a great start into my way back to the North 🙂

Training trip onto the Einkorn
On Monday, I went to another bike shop in Nuremberg, just when they opened at 8 AM. Unfortunately, afterwards my bike was more broken than before since the Edgar (=navigation device) holder got broken in the process.

To keep me at least a little busy, I have some dentist’s appointments lined up with some repairs which were due anyway this year.
Last Tuesday, I had my root channel filling renewed and was more or less out of order for the following two days.
But on Saturday morning, I went to our lake around the corner, the Starkholzbacher See, with my parents and was instantly hooked again.
