After enjoying multiple bowls of muesli thanks to the breakfast buffet, time to pack up and move on again. Should be a short ride into Zurich today thanks to yesterday’s effort. Nice and cool setting off and I stopped off at the Rhein Fall before leaving the city. Fairly…

Day 14 – Freiburg to Schaffhausen
Leaving Freiburg behind it was time to tackle the Black Forest and hopefully make it to Switzerland by evening. Heading along the highway for a while, the constant noise and traffic, trucks passing uncomfortably close by.. I saw a sign saying a slightly longer path to Titisee lake that…
Day 13 – Strasbourg – Freiburg
Left Jess at the train station this morning, hoping she makes it to Paris and back home safe. Quiet ride along the canals before crossing the Rhine again and through the German farmland.
Day 12 – Berthelming – Strasbourg
Gave some of my luggage to Jess to take on the train. Made for a quick ride through the countryside and along the canals.

Quick ride out to Berthelming to make up some ground before training back to Metz for afternoon with Jess.

Short ride to Metz before heading out to explore with Jess in the afternoon.
Day 9 – Trier – Luxembourg City – Thionville

Day 7 – Koblenz – Ediger-Eller
I stole a spoon from the hostel this morning. The receptionist was not a nice person and my breakfast required I have a spoon.. so I picnicked by the river and enjoyed my muesli. A full day of riding alongside the Moselle river, mostly gentle and flat, but for…
Day 6 – Bonn to Koblenz
Leaving the hostel before 9am was a nice feeling, especially as it’s been fairly hot the past few days and the midday & afternoon sun isn’t the most pleasant riding experience. I’d seen that just outside Bonn was an abandoned castle ruin, on top of a mountain said to…
