Prepping Schopper for the road, getting the saddles mounted up.

Got to visit as a tourist!
On to the Weserradweg!
6 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
This is a nice river to follow along into the heartland. Nice to go past houses I have previously lived in over the many years.
First break
6 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
A first break after cycling along the wind. Is it always only really headwinds? :-) Feeling good on the bike though, this is nice to be on the move - and enjoying a nice home made sandwich!
Bench at the Weserhang

Small break for my small po. A chance to ponder where to sleep.
First camp
6 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Nice little spot by the river, just off Verden. This is within sniffing distance of where my bicycle was manufactured, I think in Hoya.
Mission begins!
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
The clear skies from last night have disappeared. Got to pack up in the grey damp. Ugh, some soup first.
I get going because I am on a mission today. My air mattress popped it's baffles on the firstЧитать далее
Where he was born

Hartje, where my bicycle Schopper was built, turns out to be on the Weserradweg. Coincidence?
Got a coffee to linger close to here for a bit. Ended up gatecrashing an old ladies coffee club andЧитать далее
Plain green

The flats that actually make this a beloved bike path. Just fine even for a grey day.
That's a bench!
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
On the hunt for the best benches in the country!

CCR is a great band!
On a mission
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
Still many miles to meander to Minden, so making use of the straights. Mission Minden!
Rough road fans

Road getting a bit rough in parts, but the clouds part to keep the mission going!
Birds everywhere

So many birds all around. Will have to keep my binoculars handy.
Mission Minden!
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Made it to Minden, the promised land of the outdoor shop, with 20 minutes to spare. Snapped up a new exped, and the guy was good enough to throw in a neat discount.
"You came all the way fromЧитать далее
Dark & chill scouting in Porta
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ 🌙 5 °C
With no good places visible, and no place to camp and it being already dark, I figured I should worry. But that's difficult on a full stomach. So I just thanked Schopper for being a champ and rodeЧитать далее
River beach camp!
7 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
Whoa hey, found a beautiful sandy bar overlooking the river! Set up tent and the new mattress.
Clear skies, dry night, and a full hip flask. This is a great camp feeling!

Ice house
8 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ 🌙 -1 °C
Birds chirping, a red glow of the rising sun behind the river. Waking up in an ice house, the whole place is covered in ice crystals. Good thing is that nothing is wet. Though everything needs aЧитать далее
Clumpy green
8 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Weird tree this all over the place. With no leaves, but spherical clumps of green. Not sure what this is.
ПутешественникIch war auch mal sehr fasziniert davon und habe recherchiert… Ich dachte es sind Nester...
Ferry on line
8 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
This ferry let's you enjoy a boat and a cable car ride at the same time. Crazy engineering this.

Swirley whirley
8 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Enjoying the big industrial structures standing out over the green plains. Here in Hamelin, the "sluices" make a nice swirley whirley pattern
Nuclear Night
8 марта 2024 г., Германия ⋅ 🌙 7 °C
The twin towers of the nuclear power station stand out over the surrounding plains, green and innocuous. I'm not in a protest, but I'm camping here anyway in the warm light of German sustainableЧитать далее
ПутешественникAh great German nuclear. If only they’d kept them all running!
ПутешественникI'll let you know if my green tent starts glowing. ;-) Sadly I don't think it's coming anytime soon
