#Day63 Bonjour!
Sint Truiden to Thorembais Saint-Trond – 38km 24C Terrain: country roads and busy roads Bonjour! Woohoo, I can now speak to people in their own language, it’s the best! I crossed over into the French-speaking part of Belgium today. Today was a much better day. The sun was […] Read More
#Day62 Tired legs and some R&R
Genk to Sint Truiden – 32km (yesterday) 20C Terrain: cycle paths and country roads Rest day today! Well needed, my calf muscles were literally screaming at me yesterday. I think an average of almost 35km per day for the past 7 days had taken its toll. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the least rewarding […] Read More
#Day60 I’m in Belgium!
Thorn (Netherlands) to Genk (Belgium) – 36km 20C Terrain: cycle paths and country roads Such a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky when I set off this morning. Less than one kilometer in I crossed the border into Belgium (4th country on this journey), or at least I think I did. Strangely, there […] Read More
#Day59 I found a windmill!
Venlo to Thorn – 36km 19C Terrain: cycle paths I found a windmill! Bit of a stereotype admittedly but I was beginning to think I wasn’t going to see one. Given I only have a few more kilometers in The Netherlands tomorrow it might be the only one but I’m now satisfied! […] Read More

#Day57 Last night in Germany!
Gahlen to Alpen – 32km 16C Terrain: cycle paths and road After a beautiful start this morning, the morning light on the water, I was off on a pretty simple route today, still heading towards The Netherlands. I made a bit of a mistake when I left Celle, saying […] Read More
#Day56 More coloured bears
Dulmen to Gahlen – 36km 19C Terrain: canal paths, cycle paths and road Compared to yesterday, today was fairly sedate and uneventful, to be expected really. It started off pretty foggy on forest trails, I’m certainly glad it wasn’t nighttime, spooky. The rest of the journey was pretty pleasant […] Read More
#Day55 So much generosity!
Hiltrup to Dulmen – 32km 24C Terrain: canal paths, cycle paths and country roads Wow, what a day! So amazing and unexpected, one act of generosity after another. I just can’t stop smiling. First, my rest day yesterday was lovely. I didn’t do much at all, read quite a bit and genuinely rested. Almut, Guido […] Read More
