Porta Westfalica

I set off from Hannover at 11:30 again regret - why did i waste my time in the old east - a few more days here wouldf have been fun - i may have developed cirrhosis of the liver and kidney diesase, but I would have had fun doing it.

No hangover after some hard drinking last night but my body was still feeling the effects - mentally more than physically. It is easy to tell this is West Germany - the bike paths are mostly top notch and very little on road riding if any at all. That said it is so safe it is boring as hell - I never thought I would look forward to hill climbing, but I actually got excited when I finally encountered some hills. I think I could go to sleep on the path.. the bike would keep on rolling and i'd wake up 20 mins later still going as if nothing had happened.

I strained my right quad about 40 ks into the ride so i was pedalling on one foot for 30 ks... good ole cleats.. The hotel in PW is absolutely gorgeous as is the town... and housing is cheaper than canberra and Hannover is only 45 mins by train, which is the time i take to ride to and from work anyway....

anyways... kicking back and doing nothing for the next day or so... maybe visit ALDI to collect some supplies. talk to y'all in Muenster - bike town!!!
