This week I spent only four days on my bike. Between Hamburg and Copenhagen I cycled 368.45km and took a 45-minute ferry across the Baltic Sea. I got soaked on Wednesday, wet on Thursday and drenched on Friday. Although it was a little bit uncomfortable at times, the thought of a shower, a meal and…
This first week of my cycling trip was about wind, sunshine, saddles sores and knee troubles. I managed to cover 602.04km in six days on my bicycle. Due to really painful knees I decided to take two days off of cycling and this morning I took a train to Hamburg. In total I have traveled…
