A perfect bicycle day...
We've had so many perfect days I don't know where to start! Biking on the beach in Denmark, stopping to cook spaghetti on the roadside and camping in the dunes? Biking the outback of Iceland on roads consisting of black compacted volcanic ash and camping next to a natural hot spring? Biking up the wild rugged coast of Nova Scotia and being invited to camp on someone's lawn and to drop in for a hot shower and a nice glass of white wine? Or was it biking through the deserts in the remote Southwest of the USA? Or up the majestic coastline of Big Sur in California? Or along the tropical palm-fringed beaches of the Philippines? Or through the Malaysian jungle to the sounds of monkeys and wild birds? Or past the golden temples of Myanmar? Or through tiny rural villages along the banks of the Mekong river in Cambodia? Actually thinking about it, almost every day is a perfect bicycling day. Ein perfekter Fahrtag Wir hatten so viele perfekte Radeltage, ich weiss gar nicht wo anfangen. Fahrradfahren am Strand von Dänemark, anhalten um Spaghettin zu kochen und in den Sanddünen zelten? Im Hinterland von Island auf schwarzer vulkanischer Asche fahren und neben einer Naturquelle biwakieren? Die raue und wilde Küste Nova Scotias entlang fahren und von Locals zum Zelten eingeladen werden oder eine Dusche und ein Glas Wein offeriert bekommen? Oder war es das Fahren durch die Wüste von Südwest-USA? Oder die beeindruckende Küste von Big Sur in Kalifornien? Oder den Palm-Stränden der Philippinen entlang? Oder durch den malaysischen Tschungel, begleitet von Affen- und Vogelgesang? Oder an den goldenen Tempeln Myanmars entlang? Oder an den ländlichen Dörfchen entlang des Mekongs in Kambodscha vorbei? Wenn ich darüber nachdenke.. Eigentlich ist jeder Tag ein perfekter Tag! Yes, we know, it's not all about counting kilometers and peddling hard! But we just love to celebrate every 1000 km we did with our own power! (and to cheer with a beer!)
We have biked 6000 km through Europe, Canada and the USA and have been on the road exactly 120 days. This is about as far as from Switzerland to Pakistan. Wow!
