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.

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…

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.

On the road again. Or… on the PanEuropean Bike Trail again.A lot of this is not roads – this time I had pathways with gravel or even grass. prep for the Czech part, I guess…Right now – I took a train to Heilbronn.
