Over the border to Cloppenburg

I'm back in the van again with Sonja. Woke up not being able to walk on it and feeling like a big lump is under my outer foot. I make myself put weight on it after I've put my good supportive shoe on.
I hobble down with crutches to breakfast, but when I get up from breakfast it feels a bit easier to walk on.

Today is 105 km day mostly in the rain, so again I'm happy to support the support van driver 😉.

Throughout the day, I've been able to walk short distances without crutches!!! I have a theory the outer bone of my midfoot may have been dislocated and it or a part of it has gone back in!! I hope so. It's now just sore and not excruciating.

We get into Cloppenburg. The riders are cold and wet.

For dinner we have to walk "7 minutes", "no actually it's only 3 minutes". Turns out we walk about a km to find the place!! My foot with crutches can handle that,but I couldn't yesterday!!

We have a lovely traditional German meal in a restaurant in the middle of the Open-air museum. I did actually want to see that! 🤣 Looks like they're also setting up for a fair for the weekend too.
Jorg felt guilty about making me and another fellow rider with a dodgy knee walk so far so he taxi'ed us back.Læs mere
