If I'm not much mistaken, that sounds significantly cheaper than a divorce. Money well spent, I'd say!!
4 months agoGreat journal, Mark! I loved it! I'll shamelessly steal parts of your route and your hotel choices for an upcoming tour.

4 months agoOooh, math! “If #58 goes 5km at 10km/hr, and #59 goes the same distance at 2km/hr, what happens to #34?”
4 months agoWe followed his progress on a daily basis, and were agog. At 58, he was just hoping to finish, but far exceeded even his own expectations.

You have a great memory.
Congratulations to Klaus! That is fantastic!

4 months agoI have ridden the Columbia Gorge, but it was way back in 1991 so I don't remember seeing Bingen. I do remember having a ridiculous tailwind that pushed me almost 120 miles that day without even having to pedal.
4 months agoAccording to the books and journals I've read about Cake Morality, which is quite the engaging topic, when you ride 4,000 kilometers in 2-3 weeks, you have an ethical and moral imperative to eat as much cake as possible. For your health, and for ummm, ethics and errrr, morals.
4 months agoHonoured to get a namecheck, Mr B. I think I'd need an immoral amount of cake to make that ride worthwhile though. Hats off to Klaus, and also to you and Heather for another successful tour, and a predictably compelling journal. Let's hope for more miles in the near future! 👍
4 months agoIf you ever ride the Columbia Gorge on the Washington side, we have a Bingen as well.

I recognize that one! From this point on down to Mainz I'm really going to enjoy the trip down memory lane.
