Seeing this 72 year old entertain 110000 people for 3 hours with so much enthusiasm and drive is rather a special moment. The variation of music was quite vast. From classic to gospel to Scottish,Læs mere

Lovely day riding via Vaals (highest point in Holland) and Aachen. Then onto the Venn Bahn to Monchau, 83km. 500m elevation with a 2% incline, rather easy to cope with. The Venn Bahn runs from AachenLæs mere

Today was billed as a 'rest day' but we still did 33km with 500m of elevation. One of the 2 hills was a totally traffic free cycle route. Steep but no traffic, that's how I like them!

Following the Euro Velo 5 gave us some very nice cycle path to go on. Some were obviously old railways with plenty of information boards. They must have had their own Beeching's railway cuts but atLæs mere

Drizzly start turned out into a mixed weather day. One minute you're eating an ice cream the next you're sheltering for the rain. The Ardenne are far more beautiful then I remember from my youth.Læs mere
