OLYMPIC VICTORY !!!!!!!! Hey guys, this morning I was still half asleep at the television and could hardly believe my eyes. Jan Frodeno takes victory on the home straight, what a finish !!! I am particularly pleased because he has always been underestimated and has always been named after Daniel Unger. Of course, the latter did well, as everyone knows, because heavy athletes tend to have problems in the heat.
So, the weekend is over and I was actually able to drive home from my parents. After filling my stomach all Saturday and relaxing in the sauna, I was able to confidently tackle my long journey. My parents abandoned me on the country road on Sunday morning and off we went.
At the beginning I was really exhausted from the relaxation program the day before, after 2 hours and several mountains in the Vogtland and Fichtelgebirge I slowly warmed up and enjoyed my homemade bread every now and then. After all, it was supposed to be a journey for connoisseurs 🙂 It was really a great route via Hof and the Fichtelgebirgs-Höhenstraße to Bayreuth, it was fun. Until I ran out of food, even though I had eaten a lot the day before, the hole in my stomach got bigger and bigger and I had to find food somewhere among the natives of the area. In the villages every baker was of course already closed on the holiday! Suddenly I also noticed that I had headwind the whole time, at least I was slowing down. When I finally arrived in Bayreuth, I threw myself on the Snickers bars at the next gas station. You rarely eat something so awesome !! Cheers to the inventor of chocolate bars !!
From Bayreuth, the route became flatter but unfortunately also more traveled. Sometimes I could hardly hear myself thinking, so many cars rushed past me. After a while, I stopped my attempts to switch to the rare bike paths, after each time I needed 200 curves, over gravel and stick and stone and 5 minutes, which would have only taken me 2 minutes on the road. At some point, I almost fell asleep from sheer monotony, a cyclist actually came from behind. One of the kind that never greet you when you drive by and your teeth are bared. He had picked the wrong person that day !! Not with krelli! I tested it first and drove 3 minutes after it. Somehow it suddenly slowed down, at that moment I saw my opportunity coming. I drove next to him for a moment and said "servus", while I looked into his eyes and saw the "naked panic" 🙂 ... ok, maybe I'm exaggerating something here ... I heard myself say, "then show what you can" and pulled at. At first I heard a panting behind me (of course I had chosen a mountain for my move :), but it got quieter with every passing second. Mmmhhh ... he was either holding his breath or falling off. I looked around and there he was actually standing on the side of the road pretending to have to check his rear wheel. What a washcloth !! To bring me to my triumph just like that! With a proudly swollen chest I drove on towards Nuremberg. Unfortunately, there were no more similar highlights, except that after 140km my butt was aching from all the sitting. At some point the ordeal came to an end even after 160km and I was finally able to get off my bike after my longest training tour so far. What a beautiful day…
How was your weekend??
Great weather is reported for the next few days, so you can diligently collect kilometers again! In this sense…
