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…
It has been some time since I started my Paneuropa bike path project. More – it was right when we moved to Kronau and I did my long distance training, passing this little blue and yellow sign, me reading „Paneuropa bike path“ and I set my mind on riding the whole thing. Maybe even earlier, when I watched a documentary…
So. Home again. Laundry washed.Thoughts…So I met this couple – a male and a female cyclist from New Zealand.They take six weeks vacation time to cycle Germany.And they just had stoppped for a moment to savor the plums which grew along the way.

The train. Nothing really, just a really really long trip. Starting directly from home, I packed my bike, pumped the tires and set off… There is a Baden Wuerttemberg ticket which lets you go anywhere in this state. Meaning I could go to Kehl, which is half an hour from Strassburg main station.Then hop on the bike. Then hop into…
New blog, new pathways to somewhere, wherever that somewhere should be. Those who know this address – unter my name there’s an old blog – with the last entries from 2013.I have been logging and reporting about races – triathlons mostly, but also other stuff, 10k races, marathons, whatnot. And that’s only a small part – there is a whole…
