Let the Adventure Begin!!!!
May 17th, 2007 by benbjamin
So tonight at midnight I set off on a two week adventure where I plan on riding my bike from Switzerland to Bonn. I get on the night train from Bonn and arrive in Basel at 7 AM. I then park my bike and get on another train and head to Lausanne to visit a friend. My plan is to be back in Basel on Sunday night and start riding in morning. My first destination is Freiberg, it’s only about 70 KM from Basel so it shouldn’t be to hard of a ride. I will be going away from the ride so I expect it will be a little uphill.
I don’t know long that will take but I have contingency in place for both my trip running to long or I somehow get home earlier than I expected. The weather the last weeks hasn’t been great so I’m hopping for a little improvement in that department.
I as get ready to leave now I have taken all my vital stats.
Weight 91.9 Kilos; I expect I’ll lose a few kilos on the trip. The last time I was less than 90 Kilos, I think it was 2004.
My Bike Odometer currently stands at 3269 KM; I expect to add 450 or so kilometers to this total.
Well that’s about it, I try to update my blog along the way, but I’m also stealing a page from my dad’s book and taken with me a notepad so I can write a diary of my trip, while it happens. Hey I’m going to have a lot of free time right!
See ya soon.
Ben
