The title suggests a lot that day. At least weather, technically it was a nearly successful day. The wind pushed me moderately side to move, so that especially long-drawn stages were a little bearable. Generally, I had the impression that the weather was a bit on my side. Besides a few small passages sunny and a little drizzle towards the end of the day today was quite tolerable. However, I
must confess that my body slowly fights against the burden of what I got today felt with increasing problems with pain in the buttocks - the other hand, pain in the thigh region eased slightly. Maybe my body has simply given up only to send pain signals to my brain, since a change in the load factors would be ignored anyway only. To my
surprise, I found my bike this morning with a "plate" on the front tire before before the young Mr. mountains - As fast inflation posed a solution to the problem then the journey was also relatively fast to the south. After almost half of the trail led me Wegbeschilderungen in a small wooded area and brought me here on a path that was marked with small yellow shell symbols. For all non-pilgrim fixed readers of this blog is of course always ready with the solution: It is a part of the northern Lower Saxony Road to Santiago. Full of optimism about the discovery made me to be on a pilgrimage, was left to me to note that either way to leave again, or "someone" would keep me on this path. Finally, I hung a few minutes later in the woods, without even a soul within a radius of several kilometers, with my bike in about 40cm deep mud set. Booyah! Well, somehow I managed it then all the forces under Auferbietung my bike and me to get through this mess, and noticed in a very fluid body of the way small bubbles coming up out of my front tires! Sure, if it once "someone" well with a mean, then so!
A note in their own right: I was skeptical when I in the bicycle business, the seller of this product into the hands pressed, but I must honestly admit that the repair a tire is just so impressive that I now remove all the horrific images of the wheel, tube expanding, hole found on it to make sanding, Volkanisieren, adhesives, have rejected installing and inflating completely. It's so simple: Turn valve out, fill gel on it turn valve, inflate, about 1km re-inflation drive, finished!
ended Full starched Ethusiasmus about the accomplished masterpiece, a few miles later, the forest on a road. So, now the Rästelfrage: How to find on a map its position with the following specifications: 2 bus stops (in both directions the same city as the target), no emergency phone, no house in a visible area, no road markings or the like to determine the street name. Solution: Just go once in one direction, to ring in full bike facilities and very dirty clothes on the next door to a completely randomly selected housewife and asking the way - seems to occur way more often, as I assured the lady who always lost tourists / pilgrims to bring the right track ...
The rest day was in comparing two of the aforementioned experiences relatively calm and relaxed. One last small peak was holding the day ready yet. On the final straight in the south of Osnabrück I accidentally discovered a pharmacy with drive-in "button. As for the evening anyway an extended heat patch session on the program was, I took the chance and drove my bike over wide tour in the driveway and ordered to pack a pack of lozenges Would pavement. It's amazing what a so everything is on the way, if you do not even explored in a moving Alukäfig on four tires the world.
Even though my body slowly rebelled against the load a little, I've thought of only in a few seconds to the task of the ambitious project. Instead, one inspiring the load and strain to make to grow.
For tonight is rather a loose plan to - heat patch session, Voltaren session for the thighs and Laundry. I expect tomorrow to kick off the route of the Durchfahrung Teuteburger Woods! Although see my route on the map is not too bad - the saw, however, the average slopes for Hamburg not have and has shown me eventually clear at the beginning of my limits. One may be curious.
In this sense - good night!
