Looking back at the last stage, I must honestly admit that I today's stage of all stages ridden really like best added. This statement has nothing to do not least with the fantastic weather and amazing scenery.
The stage began with a short trip in the mountainous part behind Dortmund, who led almost the same with a 10km-long arcade next to a busy highway. Aside from hair-raising and in my estimation quite dangerous crossings of runs, the bike path went in a not so very busy part of the hinterland.
offered here Nordrhein-Westfalen really all that make pitches so with themselves. After this obstacle was a broad landscape opened with great views and a simply stunning clear air. The ensuing departure of about 5km was fantastic, because you could not only shoot down with unusual speed of more than 50 km / h on the mountain, but to avoid all excitement and all sorts of rubbish on the bike had. In addition to countless shards, grit, and remnants of native conifers and leaves the forest also called for very close cut switchbacks to the driver simply for everything - basically you can not make any authorities with a complaint, I admit, have to say I probably the first cyclist am who has driven that route this year.
The sudden warm weather brought today already the first sandals and mini-skirt wearers of the plan. Of course I admit that I found it extremely liberating to begin today for the first time on this tour without thermal clothing a stage, but I think it's pretty risk-averse and overly risking pneumonia even at this time of year.
milestone today was the well-known town of Solingen knife that comes up, I think, in comparison with other North Rhine-Westphalia cities with particularly many small kebab shops. I would like to know if there is in the consumption and buying behavior research is also a special question and answer session about the eating habits of human groups. The impression one has since yesterday in every village, every town in North Rhine-Westphalia, is that the local population fed solely by the Turkish pockets.
've During the evening planning a little trip I indulged in the village of Cologne that was not in the distant past with all sorts of interesting headlines in the focus of public interest. Apparently, the construction of the new subway line built all kinds of safety-related building materials not only what could cause a security risk. Well, an inspection and use of the already operating underground, however, leads me to express the opinion that given the current state of the Cologne-U-and S-Bahn a collapse of the tunnel really is the lesser problem. Anyone who has used line 5 towards Dom-plate and could see the drivers at every stop that he obviously constantly annoys the doors by hand close to understand is that the savings measures in the construction of the new subway line only for maintenance were not invested in operating plants.
Have just set out the planning for tomorrow's stage and look forward to some places that are left at the first Rhine Tour - Until then, good night.
