gravy train
8 September 2016, Perancis ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
So we rode on this path that is the car testing road for GM motors... Flat asphalt... so I was enjoying actually getting to use some of my higher gears...and I turn around because I thought Sherelle was playing some music loudly on her phone...instead what was happening was the bags on the backrack of Sherils bike are rubbing on her rear tyre as she had lost both screws that hold it to the frame and it had all slipped back. Such a loud noise!
So some bush mechanic-ing took place and we pushed on

So we have been riding through loads of gravel (aggregrate) works... Such scenery!Baca selengkapnya

Rest day in Otterstadt
11 September 2016, Jerman ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Relaxing day off the bikes, with slow start and then visiting the local lake for swim and games in arvo

So I did some math today... and my total kms stands at 729km (over half way!)

I have a reasonable level of excitement as we are heading to worms tomorrow... I can't wait to visit a worms supermarket, or a worms church, or a worms cafe!!
(Illy tells me it is pronounced essentially as 'warms'...but smeh i will keep calling it worms)Baca selengkapnya

We crossed the river again by bridge at Mannheim

So we got caught up in some epic roadworks around BASF plant in Ludwigshafen (the plant being really more like a mini city, and I probably should of been more excited to be riding around and through it given my area study (but I wasnt cause of the lack of adequate diversion signage...gosh))Baca selengkapnya

Anyhoo we made it to Worms and enjoyed the arvo there...
We did 48kms today

Worms is fairly interesting town when it comes to religion... Martin Luther (Gilands can help anyone out who is confused who he is) was summoned to Worms and my understanding was decision to excommunicate him was made here (as outcome of the Diet of Worms)Baca selengkapnya

Romance town
14 September 2016, Jerman ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
So last night wasnt great...
I think we can safely say that will be our most expensive but easily the crappiest accommodation for our trip...
Everyone had a pretty average (and very sweaty) sleep...

Anyway- early start (in the dark) to catch a train in to Mainz and we were on our way...

Illy and I headed off as the sprint team to beat the heat...
Whilst I was standing with the bikes outside the supermarket in Etville, waiting for Illy, I was chatting to a lovely older German man. He had asked if we were touring and where we were going etc. I told him that I had found the last few days a bit boring scenery wise and he said "thats ok- because you are just about to ride the most romantic part of the Rhine, the scenery is fantastic"...
Which was right but also was especially funny due to fact that Illy and I were riding alone today (after getting the pleasure of sharing a bed in the weird craphole apartment the previous evening)

We rode along a path on the Rhine for most of the day, and it was pretty nice scenery!Baca selengkapnya
