My trip from Munich airport after a failed attempt to go see a MotoGP race in Spain. Not much for scenery in this video but a lot of my rambling about various things.
So I’m at the Munich Airport and there is a beer garden right in the terminal pretty cool I have successfully managed to Fitch my bicycle I checked it in at a place that will store bags at the airport I think I don’t know if they have this in the US
But I think in Europe with all the traveling that people do you know let’s say that you wanted to go to Italy for just a couple of days then you can check your bag into this Services area you know and then just when you come back through pick it up you know so
For for me with the bicycle it’s €1 a day which is a hell of a lot more peace of mind than the potential for it getting stolen number one and number two I mean I’ve I got the bags on it so that’s a security issue you know with me
Just locking a bike up with backs you know at an airport so but the only thing that I have is this here for the next couple of days I’m catching a flight in a couple hours so right there inside there I got my tent my sleeping pad and
Uh you know just couple like a change a T-shirt And you know toothpaste toothbrush that’s about it I I’m at this little DF which is German for like a little town or Village noid andorf so um I think the trip in Germany with the exception of this totally foard situation trying to get over to the race in Catalonia uh
Everything would have been fine except for the booking um you know sometimes when you go to purchase a ticket uh and you’re overseas and so you have security measures on your card which I already told them I was traveling but one of the three flights did not go through so and
It was the first one it was the one out of Munich which I guess is a good thing because then I’m not stuck somewhere else without my bike uh cuz I was leaving it there but unfortunately now it’s Sunday and uh I am not in Spain watching the Moto GP race
Today but I am like I said repositioning North so should be pretty good so cool little unexpected fairy ride that my GPS directed me towards on my way to on my way to Hamburg oh just your average German bus stop next to a barn next to assas probably they call them guest houses here and I didn’t mention this before um other than when I was in England but those old telephone booths that they have throughout England that they make into defibrillators and Book Exchange
Locations they also did that in France and as you can see here in Germany as well so so probably pretty soon I’ll be heading out in the countryside I’ve got about 80 miles to ride uh that’s kind of cool I guess a couple people uh put some
Beer bottles up there on the cross so sometimes you got to do the stair climber like them fools at the gym it always kind of cracks me up that people will drive one mile to walk three on a indoor treadmill on a beautiful day no less was pretty
Ridiculous so my GPS kind of took me to this local that was on a military base that ended up in a red barrier stick you know like the gate is closed um luckily right before I got to that I saw this guy in the gate house that was
Kind of like outside and then he went inside I think probably to say hey we need to go retrieve this guy uh if he continues but I didn’t once I got to B3 I’m on this road but I know based on you know where that it was
Like a tank base because you know they had tank track trails and stuff like that anyways uh I’m continuing on and I just want to show you this it is so amazingly beautiful oh there’s the tank sign yeah if you’re a tank you got to go 50 kilom per hour and
Randomly not quite as elaborate as the ones in that little town but it is unbelievably beautiful here uh time on Deck is 2033 and I think I’m going to ride for probably about a half an hour more find a place like behind some shrubs come along clearly I’m bored no actually I’m
Not bored at all that’s the amazing thing as social as I typically am my uh desire to be social has gone away significantly the past few years sometimes I find myself having to remind myself to do exactly what I’m doing right now cuz increasingly it becomes more and more
About you know this is for me uh I want to share it and I’ll share certain things but you know I don’t need I don’t need to share everything I don’t need to go like you know trigger happy with my camera so but it is a beautiful evening
A little bit sprinkly but it feels good you know um oh what was what I was trying to say is this the shrubs back there like I’ll just you know put my tent behind one of those shrubs another thing that’s kind of weird I was thinking about earlier is
Uh you know occasionally I’ll just kind of stand up like I was doing earlier or I’ll be riding for like 6 hours 7 8 hours in a day I guess sometimes more but typically 9:00 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. and you know of course I take several breaks but my point
Is my legs are fine I’ve been doing this for a month or something like that now I it’s almost I honestly feel like I’m getting stronger so but anyways enough of me how about you hanging out chilling and it in Countryside having a good evening I’ll chat with you
Later now this is part of the Germany that I remember kind of looks like the pine in New Jersey and they really love their week here and I’m between hover and Hamburg so I got about well about 55 miles to go and I would just just camp out in something like that
Tonight make it in the morning I’ll get a Hostel and then continue on to cop here beautiful though so I found this beautiful Forest location next to some Farmers Fields there’s a little bit of a road here um it’s not well traveled but it will do for a little bit of time so I’m going to put my tent up
And P in it Yeah N
