Just catching up on the vids now. Great stuff guys…looking forward to the next one x
I have enjoyed your videos. My wife and just got back from cycling the Rhine 10/1/19 – 10/18/19. I'm 65 and am recovering from open heart surgery on June 20th, and my wife is 58, so we did not make the distance each day that your guys did, but we did average 30 mi. (50 km) per day. We started in Basel, and had planned to make it to the Atlantic, but a few things got in the way. We had to put our bikes on a train from Koln to Xanten, because a trade fair in Duisberg had raised room rates for 100 mi. from 100 Euros to 450 Euros per night. And we also had had enough of the wind and rain by the time we got to Zanbommel. We ended up doing 425 of an estimated 555 miles, and we had a good time and a lot of laughs. We had rail passes and 40 more days of travel, so we took our bikes back to Amsterdam and headed to Hamburg. Again, have enjoyed your videos, especially that acknowledgement that from time to time you got lost. It was nice to learn that we weren't the only ones. We are planning to go back this fall and ride the Danube.
What's the towel u recommended ?
My husband and I are watching your series and reliving happy memories of our ride on the EV15 back in 2019. Thanks for sharing your experience and bringing such joy to our day. Even a bad day on the bike is bliss in retrospect. xox Penelope 🚲💕
Unbelievable you guys had a headwind heading south. We're currently heading north up the Rhine and have had a vicious headwind the entire way!
Its good the supermarkets are closed on a Sunday. Stops exploitative employment practices on minimum wage workers.
