What Are You Doing In Real Life II - Page 168

STEED · 05-09-19, 02:27 PM

Back to work Friday and I got to cover for my fellow worker next week. At last he has taken some time off, I was beginning too wonder if he was taking any time off this year. Could do with a top up of money dam bills keep going up.

Doing prepration right now for what I will do tomorrow:

going by train to Haren, with bicacle, and the travel back by bicycle on the Emsradweg along the river Ems, should be very idyllic, and long, the trip back home alone will be 160km , and then some 15-20 km at the location of Haren, where over 35 years ago we had a ten days holiday with the whole shcool class.

Possibly I will be quite exhausted when I come home late in the evening, and my bicycle batteries will be close to their limits. Plan is to be 13 hours on tour, both at location in Haren, and on track when riding home. Some stays, some bshorter breaks, maybe having lunch somewhere.

Should be a great day.

Just reading that got me all sweaty and fatigued

Skybird · 05-14-19, 11:40 AM

Oh, and I will film the whole way home. Camera on steering bar, 10 hours storage capacity, seven batteries and option to recharge underway.

Editing and cutting the material will be a nightmare.

Just when I run into an angry police patrol I'll be in trouble. Filming this way is illegal over here. Thats why I have the cam now hanging under the steering bar, at the centre bar, which makes it less obvious a detail for the eye.

For you there is the path along the Dortmund-Ems-channel, just 115 km.

As long as I have a full tank of petrol in my vehicle shouldn't be a problem

You need one of these.

"I could work on my bike." -

Yeah, sure I would do that.

Anyway, had a great day yesterday, one hour by train, and then thirteen hours on bike. Wonderfuöl tour, much change along the track, many forgotten places, wonderful landscapes and escape points, I returned home after sunset, and my display red 183 km and my bottom already had stopped complaining long time ago. Only the wind was against me, and the weather forecast once again had totally blown the wind forecast. They were off by 90-135°, and strictly to my disadvantage.

A perfect day. You have one of these only every couple of years. And I have it all, from first to last minute, on SD cards. The batteries for the bike worked amazing, both have 40% capacity left, but I was running a very aware energy management regime by myself. : Just in case. You do not want to get caught by empty batteries if your bike and luggage weighs 39 kg. Not with wind in your face and unknown ground ahead.

People visiting Germany: if you plan for bicycle holiday, the Emsradweg defintely is worth it. I just drove a fraction of it, it spand fro emden and the coast to far to Mpünster'S south-East, all in all around I think 380 km.

Just resist to do 380 km in one day.

I've been sick again for the last two day. Spent most of the time asleep again.

Catfish · 05-17-19, 01:40 AM

^ sad to hear, do you know what the cause is.
Last time you said you had no possibility to see the doctor?

Sailor Steve · 05-17-19, 09:41 AM

No idea what it is. I was too tired to get out of bed and go see the doctor. I'm feeling much better now, and am actually up and posting. About to do laundry and then go to the bank. I'm still weak, but I seem to be recovering.

Commander Wallace · 05-17-19, 10:52 AM

^ all good news.

I hope you feel better.

Eichhörnchen · 05-17-19, 12:36 PM

Moira got some "cod loins" for dinner tonight... since when does cods have loins?

Catfish · 05-17-19, 01:13 PM

^ sure it's cod?

Maybe one of the first creatures to leave the water.. look for the expiration date

@Sailor Steve: Wish you all the best, and good health. But i would go visit the doctor anyway
