Day 11 of cycling from London to Bering Asters uh back on the road after a much needed rest day uh luckily a friend of mine who lives in mbor uh let me say at his place whilst he was out of town this weekend uh so yeah about that asterisk hey wild
Story man I really didn’t think I was going to make it I was so close to hopping on a train uh the day before yesterday uh but I don’t know what how I just just didn’t want to stop just didn’t want to stop just just kept going just kept pushed through
Um yeah so there’s only about 150 km left uh between magor and Bin uh I’ve decided to split that up over two more days so the plan today is to cycle 84 km uh to a place near Brandenburg under half uh um Camp there overnight and then do another 74
K tomorrow morning back to Berlin yeah so currently just exiting the city of mdor uh yeah there was a nice cycle path here along the the ABA River and yes it was blood it was bloody bloody hot yesterday it was like 33° so that was also another reason why decided just to rest
Cuz man would’ve just been absolutely cooked in that heat it’s a bit nicer it’s 26 quite comfortable for cycling but yeah exciting day I’m going home almost going home tomorrow but yeah Been for just over an hour and I’ve done 23 km so far so smooth sailing and my knee’s been holding up good I no pain the knees so far like my legs felt like absolute refried beans yesterday and also a bit this morning but now that I’m on the bike yeah no no Complaints Why the time feel so slow today uh so that little town just there is called Borg by magor and uh in English like Bor means uh like a fortress kind of like small uh Castle um yeah I don’t know I always just have like this feeling that like this little
Town that I just cycled through a book by mdor and also mug deor itself uh they feel to me somewhat like a film set and I think it’s like because of a combination of things um like you have some areas where all the buildings are from like a certain
Era um like they’re all quite old and like most of them are done up and like all the streets have been like done up side like the sidewalks foot paths are all like nice so everything’s kind of has this tidiness and cleanliness to it and it’s all restored but it still has
This really really old look and it’s also like strangely quiet especially on a Sunday I mean now this is a bit of a a main road that I’m cycling on now but in the town itself and also in magor yesterday I found it strangely quiet for a
City um yeah so I find it quite amusing just like walking through it feels like you’re walking through a film set and of course some of the old buildings and old factories they’re not in a restored state they’re a bit like dilapidated or even empty and
Abandoned and I guess also just like the abandonment like having no one living there also makes it feel like a film set because it’s just a facade of a building and it’s not lived in oh yeah beautiful but also kind of a bit [Applause] Eerie why the time feel so slow Today shrimp check kilometers and kilometers of brand new road that’s technically still closed but when on the sign so perfect I Love It Feel So Close That’s how we’re Doing do you want to learn about wheat we got sha wheat we got corn wheat Corn’s a type of wheat too did you know that we got long wheat medium length weight you got weight squares AKA wheat bricks you got round wheat AKA wheat Balls so slow um I’m wondering if I should just go try to go all the way to Berlin I’ve been cycling for 2 and 1/2 hours I’ve already done like just over 50 km uh I’ve got supposedly 30 km left to go to get where I was planning to
Camp but the conditions are perfect today it’s not too hot it’s sunny dry there’s like zero wind or maybe just a little bit of a tailwind and right now I’m just cruising along with very minimal effort No Hands going 30 km an hour so yeah I don’t know just get to renor
Under half of it and then just reassess but maybe you just go for It why the time feel so slow today time feel so slow Today what feel so slow today I’m just going to go for it I just want to go home right now uh it’s only 65 km to go and it’s like 5:00 p.m. so I’ve still got plenty of time before Sundown uh yeah like I’m already so
Close to Berlin I don’t really want to go camping again another night alone uh I just kind of want to get home tomorrow in bed and yeah I mean since I’m already so close to Berlin I like there’s going to be ample opportunities in the future to do like
Trips and explore like this area like I’ve never been to brenor under halfway before but like it seems quite nice and there’s like lots of natural nature areas around here um well yeah kind of at this point of the trip I’m so close to home already I’ve already had so much
Adventure like so many ups and downs I’m kind of just wanting to be har in bed you know uh but yeah I think definitely in the future I’ll come back you know to around this area uh explore a little bit more um like the route I was actually
Planning to take and uh from here back home to Berlin involves uh a ferry Crossing but I’m not going to make that in time so I’m just going to go a bit more of a direct route um yeah through pod St so yeah just going to hit the Gas uh must be nearing bin cuz I just got my first honk from my car a van passed me and they honk to me so cycling on the road although there was no bike path cuz the bike path just suddenly disappeared and switched to the other side of the road
Unexpectedly German bikeing for structure that’s just how it is what is Sunday man chill Out this is a reenactment of how most my interaction uh with people I passed St I’m like hello and then the German people I pass would be like uh another cultural observation in England in the countryside pretty much all the people you meet you get a little at least a
Wave back but generally it’s a bit more like a hello maybe we have like a quick conversation but kind of gradually along this trip the more and more I’ve got closer to Germany the gradual uh unfriendliness of the people why Just notice uh the first spon on the plate oo 30 km left to go KNE is feeling great no pain at all today so St to be almost back in Berlin I’m absolutely flying now putting in a bit of effort watching that a Bit I know this I recognize this I’ve been here before we’re close we’re getting closer we’re in potam right now so not technically in Berlin but we’re just outside of In that’s the socalled bridge of spies the GLE uh during the times of the of the East and West Germany uh that’s where they used to exchange spies and uh prisoners between the Easter and the Wester State yeah in pastan there’s so many lovely things to see and it’s also rich with
History definitely wor a visit if you’re ever in Berlin we’re actually in Berlin now woo yeah um when I when I crossed over the G Kaba the bridge of spies that was technically uh crossing the state border of Brandenburg to bin so we made it to Berlin I just have 12 km to get home Why does time feel so slow Today I got you a flower oh my God what the I thought you were not coming home today hello hello
