A Dutchie, Kiwi & German decide to bike to Luxembourg.. via Belgium + Germany. 3 countries 1 day.

Join the mighty trio of Luisa (German), Femke (Dutchie & lead navigator), and me (Kiwi, personality hire). 300kms in three days with four countries ticked off – one new one being Luxembourg. Loved LOVED seeing the country side and despite a sore butt/legs/arms, I’d do it all again!

Kyoda Hoy, this is Grace. I’m up front. That’s Louisa in the back. And soon you’ll see Fama. We have a German, a Kiwi, and a duchy who decide, you know what? I’ve never been to Luxembourg. What’s one way to get there? Via bike. We go through Germany, Belgium. We have some fun jumping in and out of countries. It’s a lot. Strap in. This is the journey to Luxembourg. The girls are on. We’re ready. Bike shoes, helmet, sunglasses, the little bike pump I have in my bag, spare stuff, clothes, charger, toothbrush. You have all the food. That’s it. Let’s go. [Music] Is Oh, how white is your tire? 28 or 30. Louisa, are you back to being my little [ __ ] Hello. You made it. 30. So, we do six bar. I haven’t pumped up my tire since Louisa did it last time. Well, you need to be good for something at least. You’re going to be so fast now. There’s no excuse anymore, Grace. I’m Z. L, how’s the bike going? Great. Awesome. I haven’t been able to bring the camera out up until now because I’m getting my ass handed to me. You can maybe just see Louisa then goes even further. I think we’re like we’re like 30 miles in. So we’re like 50 something ks. Today we’re just doing 90. My half iron man is supposed to be 90. Okay, this is a very confronting moment. My self-confidence to think that this would be an easy experience. That’s kind of remarkable. Anyway, just want to let you know that this is happening and I’ll give you a check in later. We’ve accidentally stumbled across the Belgian Spa Grand Prix track. Whoa. Woohoo. Woohoo. Louis and Fura are sussing things. I’m on the ground. So 8:30. That’s perfect cuz I’ll be in bed by 8:30. ask for a table. Yeah. Now we’re all showered and clean uh from our day one. And I just wanted to show you the view. We’re in Belgium, but I think it’s like a Germany part of Belgium. If you know Belgium, you know they’re like French, Dutch, German. Anyway, FEMA is planning the course for tomorrow and we just realized that we can hit Germany on the way back, which will mean seven countries in 6 days. Going to go to sleep now. It’s 10:07 p.m. Tomorrow the plane is 112 km. Today was 90, but we’re going to have more rests. That’s not even true. We’re just going to have bigger rests. So, it’s supposed to be Oh, look at the Oh, what are we going to do tomorrow? Summer biking. We’re going to go to Germany and Luxembourg. We’re going to do three countries in one day. Crazy. F is our guide. It’s day two. Woohoo! Plan the bakery. Bike to Luxembourg. Have lunch. Bike back through Germany. Let’s actually generate around. Bike to Germany first. Yeah. Have lunch in Germany. No. No. Bike through Germany then into Luxembourg. Yeah. Have lunch in Luxembourg and then bike. Oh, so the bigger bikes first and then the shorter bike. I always think that’s nice. We literally just got on the bike and everything hurts so bad. French just used to come every day, I guess. Like they’re Yeah. All right. This is Grace reporting in at 0 km in. I’ll go one in. Oh, is this part of the journey? Yeah. I don’t know how far I like. This is Grace 1 km in. I like this ratio. 1 km and then we sat and had a meal for like 30 minutes. Okay, bye. Fa, you may be able to see her little pink dot over there. Granted, I’m filming, but that’s not the reason I’m so far behind. She’s a machine. Louisa. Hello. We’re in Germany. Are we already? Yeah. I didn’t notice. Nice. German. Oh, hell. The reason just informed me this hill is going to be gnarly. This is me before the hill. This is me just after the big part of the climb. L is back there. Heart rate always 180. Holy. Holy. Yeah. For a bit still. How does that help him go? Quite tough. Yep. That’s We made it. Lo, [ __ ] my life. I’m not a climber. We’ve just made it to Luxembourg. And we’re rewarded with a 4.2 km climb. What the [ __ ] Those are cows, but they’re Luxembourg cows, aren’t they? What language do people speak in Luxembourg? Okay, I’m going to find out, but my bit is German. Hey guys. Um, two things. Hey guys. Two things that have happened. One, we’re like less than 5 km away from lunchtime and there’s a car racing that’s blocked the road. And it’s not the kind you’re like, “Oh, I’ll just go past.” These are like derby cars. And now Louisa, they’re speaking French with a man trying to figure out where to go. So I’m taking an opportunity to have a snack. Oh, here comes another one. Actually, maybe not. You know, when you’re in the country, it’s kind of hard to tell. Anyway, vibes. Oh, [ __ ] I just dropped a little bit. I’ll probably still eat it. Oh, here we go. [Music] I actually think it’s cool. Whoa. Bonapetit. Bonapetit. Sketch. Right now. Now we’re on the border. We’re in this little exclave of Belgium and we’re like probably like 90k in and all my oomph is oomph to gone. 30k I’ll find the energy. That is a gone. Boom. How are we doing? Great. We have about 20 km left. Mhm. The legs are getting a bit tired. Mhm. But we’re pushing through and we have some lollies. Yeah. And next time we see ice cream, we’re stopping. Fantastic. Awesome. Amazing. Yeah, race. It’s shut. Yeah, it’s actually sad. We wanted ice cream and it shot 36 minutes ago. Well, yeah. What’s What’s to do about it, huh? Yeah, but we did it. Yippee. Day three, home time. Louisa, hello. What’s the planning? Recycle, get home, chill, have a shower, enjoy the day, the rest of the day. Nice. Same go. Same. How far are we biking? 87 km in total, but there’s more meters going down than up. So, it’s going to be fine. We’re going to be chilling. Free speed from the downhill. Plus 300 to Amsterdam. The kilometers. Yeah, we’ll do that in the trick. I’m actually hurting. We’re like 50 something KS in of an 88k and I’m like genuinely not hurting. Hi team. I’m coming at you live from Lindberg. Yeah, the city. I don’t know. We’re still in Belgium. It’s beautiful. It’s French. We’re in Belgium. I’m hurting. That’s all I can say. That’s all I can say right now. Don’t be fooled. You know where people show you the best sides of themselves. They’re like, “Oh, the girlies went to Luxembourg. There was a price on the internet. Yeah, there’s a prize on Bayet. We’re back in the Netherlands. Bye, Louisa. Bye-bye. Make home safe. Thank you. Thank you. We made it. Yay. The final moment. [Music]
