Tried it myself yesterday evening, now in the bikeshop…

He got roll eyes for the bike and he knew the brakes. Fixed! A big big young master.

Get up

After slow cycling yesterday and redeciding not to ride through to Grindelwald, i slept in front of a church, just before Fribourg.

Slowly the body gives some feedback on the first two day, fought too strong. Stiff left knee, stiff right achilly tendon. We gonna see how to get that running smoothly, again.

Ready for night climbing

Some first gravel climbs, that finally made me walk for a while. Lucky I have a second pair of cleats with me 

Shadow can be a fancy thing

Still a good way to go until crossing the border. Shelter from the sun together with a slightly fresh breeze.

Social Media seems to be pretty active, again.

Yoghurt, fruits and pizza.

Eat, whatever you can. You gonna need it, soon.

Going fine, again

After two long rests for knee and mind, things are fine. Need to find a pharmacy during the day.

800kms completed this night. Still a good buffer in time.


Silly snack on the side of the road, beautiful scenery

Hungry but no bar or bistro can be found, so I sit next to the road and prepared something from my stock. Lovely shrink croissant with melted camembert.

Heading further south, right entered Bourgogne area, what a pitty I do not drink alcohol during the ride …

You ask yourself why I am doing this?

Early morning around Macon.
