How could I not write about the best event so far this year… Well, End July there was the Ingress Anomaly, a battle with beacons, shards, we had GORUCK, we had a mission day, we had an overworked orga (THANK YOU), swag, too little sleep, a nice after party, But starting from the start… This was such a busy set…
Ingress introduced me to this crazyness, but I got hooked – whenever I tell someone, that I am roaming the landscape carrying a 15kg backpack, letting some cadre command me to do exercises which tend to hurt (hurt as in exhaustion hurt, not injury hurt) whenever I tell this to someone, then they question this. Why? Why would you have…
When I ran my very first Ironman race in Wisconsin, I was totally worn out coming into the finish. happy for I made it, elated, for…I made it…Full of endorphines, I guess. At the time it was a one-minute-time slot for sign up for such a race. After a minute all starter slots were gone. So may people already signed…
Riding 20km. After all those days. Meeting a couple who took a similar route on a different bike path – bound to Ulm, on their non electric bikes – making Ulm in two days or three. The guy I talked to probably around 70 years old. wow! I had some nice landscape to cover, just to have village skylines emerge…
Wow. I really did not think I’d made it this far. Cycling – I had been with my electric bike all over the place – but this is a regular race frame, with luggage. With a bendy back and cleats and all that. Who was I to plan 500km in one piece. After not doing any racing activities anymore. On…
Gruenau, yesterday, this day I first found the towns of Suess (sweet), Ottensoos, Pommelsbrunn, Lauf, Hammer What makes people name their villages? Why would my village be named „hammer“ I got a delicious breakfast at my place, Whatever, on my merry way along the B14 road, with a few excursions to the side. I knew I wanted to hit Nuremberg…
Early morning – again a Pension with a working heater, my bike clothes were absolutely dry. No breakfast, so I set off, back in Germany I should easily find a bakery somewhere… Ant that I did – delicious breakfast in a backyard with canaries in a voliere. Again enough coffee for me – and then I started following th Bockl…
The next morning I got a delicious breakfast in my Stribro pension, and then set off to buy a helmet. The store opened at 8AM, and a very friendly person who happened to speak some English, sold me a gray bolle helmet. I payed, we chatted a bit about riding through forest bike paths and all that – the store…
This is more or less a hostel – a bed, plus facilities to clean up,, It was good I had packed towel and soap (always good to know where your towel is) but I could not get breakfast. On the other hand, I didn’t mind setting off and searching for some local bakery or cafe en route. When I was…
I just took a look at the old Paris blogs – this really looks pretty much the same – take a vehicle of my choice, set off, take a whole day for the travel – arrive in the evening – find a way to the city’s biggest river, check the area – playing an ingress banner – even have a…
