#Day56 More coloured bears
Dulmen to Gahlen – 36km 19C Terrain: canal paths, cycle paths and road Compared to yesterday, today was fairly sedate and uneventful, to be expected really. It started off pretty foggy on forest trails, I’m certainly glad it wasn’t nighttime, spooky. The rest of the journey was pretty pleasant […] Read More
#Day55 So much generosity!
Hiltrup to Dulmen – 32km 24C Terrain: canal paths, cycle paths and country roads Wow, what a day! So amazing and unexpected, one act of generosity after another. I just can’t stop smiling. First, my rest day yesterday was lovely. I didn’t do much at all, read quite a bit and genuinely rested. Almut, Guido […] Read More
#Day53 Wonderful people
Warendorf to Hiltrup – 30km 20C Terrain: cycle paths I’ve arrived in a lovely airbnb in Hiltrup, part of Munster. It’s run by wonderful people called Almut, Guido and Guido who have just been so incredibly welcoming and even took me out for dinner this evening, so kind and incredibly generous. They have also invited […] Read More
#Day52 Over 1,000km!
Borgholzhausen to Warendorf – 28km 20C Terrain: cycle paths I crossed the 1,000km marker today! Woohoo! I can’t quite believe it.

#Day51 Frustration and discovery
Bunde to Borgholzhausen – 26km 20C Terrain: hilly country roads and some cycle paths I started off a lot more upbeat today. The sun was back out, about 20C, perfect conditions. Clouds lifting. The aim was to cover a slightly shorter distance. However, what wasn’t in the plan was […] Read More
#Day50! But a little tired
Minden to Bunde – 31km 15C Terrain: off-road, cycle routes and road (some hills today) Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 50 days now! Tough one today tough. Energy low and just didn’t really feel it, I think yesterday may have used up the energy stores a little and then didn’t quite […] Read More
#Day49 Nature in a bottle
Bokeloh to Minden – 41km! 18C Terrain: off-road, cycle routes and road Thought I’d start the month off with a short 41km jaunt! Record for me so far, smiles. Loved today! Spent most of it in beautiful forest with some completely off-road bits. A bit of torrential rain along the way but to be honest […] Read More
#Day48 A glowing bear
Bissendorf to Bokeloh – 35km 18C Terrain: cycle routes and road I’m trying to get a few more kilometers in now there aren’t so many decent-sized towns. Hopefully my body can keep up with the ambition, fingers crossed. I didn’t have too good a night last night so feel pretty tired this evening. Tired but […] Read More
