Day 2: straight on!

This was day 2 of my 3(+1) day ride.

The previous day was tough at the end. And I had to do 123 km. But I decided to keep going. The breakfast started at 9am so I couldn’t start urly. But after I made a paper with all the places I would go through as a back-up, I started in a great mood. On a long downhill I had a beautifull view over a lake. But after giong down, you have to go up again. Up a 2 km long 12% road (on 100mm cranks). I dit 700m with the unicycle, but walking went faster.

After that, there were variable roads and views. 30 km done, I was going in a straight line constantly a bit up or downhill. That’s fun and relaxing you would think… It can be, but if the wind decides do follow the same road, but in the other direction, it isn’t relaxing anymore…

When I was 62 km far, I was in the middle of the tour, but when I calculated the ours I had left, I would be at the youth hostel at 8h30pm. But that was when I counted the first half would go at the same speed as the first half…

I decided I would go to the youth hostel in Erfurt, 20km away. There was a place and dinner for me! So I dit that 20 km half happy because I didn’t had to do that much km, but also a bit frustrated becaus I wouldn’t reach my ‘goal’ “4 days 400km”.

I reached the youth hotel and had dinner with a bus of Hungarian people. In my room I started planning the next day.

Tomorrow you can find out where day 3 brought me!
