This March made me so sore…But the next morning things were already better. Cycling utilizes different muscles than walking so I could actually follow my plan to cycle towards Gothenburg I decided that around 40km per day were enough, so I could see the landscape, and enjoy the ride. We started with a really good breakfast at this nearby cafe,…
Oh yeah. Last year. Kind of I feel that I have picked up all the travels which I missed out on the year before. I was in a lot of new places. Saw new places, regions, countries. First time ever in Norway. Learning about this world, cycling over borders. Starting post-pan-Europe bikepath cycling. But I also am observing our world.…
There’s a song by Manfred Siebald – him asking her if she’s really really going away on travels again. Somehow this Summer feels like that. I have booked a trip with my sister – elective sister. This time it is not Vlissingen. This time it is Ambleteuse, France. Just because we stumbled through the maps of various apartment rentals along…
My Resistance friend who already had made it to Gothenburg wrote, that he’d in Gothenborg this evening, still. I was a bit in between maximizing bike distance and visiting and actually seeing the city of Gothenborg. So I decided for the sevond, especially after my landlord in the Stromsted-suburb had told me that there was a train from Stromsted Station…
Goodbye Oslo, here I come, Eurovelo. Europe is covered with a network of bicycle pathways, connecting Europe, connecting countries, showing beautiful places, reliving history, so I thought.

When ingress announced the sites for the 2023 anomalies, I thought, I’d get to Reims and that’s it. Then I got an Athens trip as a gift – and after rucking in Athens I kind of had to figure out how to go to Oslo or Madrid. Flying for a pixel-in-scanner game… yes I flew to Rome for a weekend,…
Fifty (or so) shades of sky……
After two years COVID restrictions and apprehensive planning, we wanted to get back to vacationing but for that virus isn’t gone and won’t be gone, soon, we decided, not to fly but to rent a house in far away Brittany, in Camaret-sur-Mer. Car packed, and we went our merry ways West, and farther West, avoiding tollways, until we reached Velizy,…
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…
