We made a fun two-day gravel ride around the beautiful Lake Constance with a Distance of 180 km. Even though it was a bit windy, we enjoyed the quiet nature as we crossed through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

[Music] good morning we are ready to make our trip around the bodi and yeah I’m a little bit nervous because today it’s my first 100 kilometer tour and yeah we will see and now we get ready and let’s go after our first attempt had to be aborted we finally found an opportunity to cycle around Lake Constance again this time in 2 days because we only had the weekend so we had about 180 km ahead of us never before had we planned such a long route in 2 days but we quite liked the challenge and it didn’t seem completely impossible the sun is shining and the sky is blue and looks like a great day [Music] we enjoyed the beautiful nature but there was also nervousness about whether we would be able to complete our trip as we had planned our trip had a total elevation difference of 600 m with a climb of between 10 and 15% right at the beginning so we honestly wanted to protect our knees first and pushed our bikes on this climb [Music] the first 10 kilometers are done 80 and no 90 kilometers left this tour would be very hard i don’t know if we could make it or not 100 kilometers and the second day round about 80 kilometers yeah nothing should go wrong [Music] the midnight glow where the stars align we lose ourselves in the rhythm divine underneath the sky painted with dreams we’re chasing the echoes of silent screams caught in the spell of the cosmic night where fantasies bloom in the pale moonlight we’ll let go of all that we know and dance in the stardust gentle flow dancing in the stardust we’re wayless and free a world of wonders just you and me lost in the moment our spirits ignite as we twirl in the mag of the cosmic light [Music] we made 20 km and feel relaxed every step we leave our cares behind in this celestial ballroom I stay fine caught in the spell of the cosmic night the fences in pale moonlight dancing in the stardust we’re wayless and free in a world of wonders just you and me lost in the moment our spirits ignite the outflow of the lake the rine is in constant [Music] we have just passed the border between Switzerland and Germany we are now in a park in Switzerland near the city of Constance how do you feel little bit tired but okay it’s It’s a sunny day it’s a good day to to ride and And you i’m not exhausted um we made a quarter of our tour 25 kilometers so beautiful here i could stay the whole day here it’s a big park here in Switzerland many people are running or walking through the park or sitting in the sun [Music] we enjoyed the next kilometers so we quickly reached kilometer 49 [Music] lunch time what do you have there h cereals and strawberry jam and yes coconut [Music] it’s our lunch break we made nearby the half of our distance and we feel tired yeah I tried but happy that there’s that we made the half we were sitting on the shore of the lake and it was hard to believe that we would be cycling on the other side the next day and we actually only realized how huge the lake is when we were cycling there [Applause] and standing there felt like being at the sea [Applause] okay we eat everything i eat everything you’re not later and it’s uh really fresh yeah you are looking for our sleeping bag yeah i remember when we we made our MTA river tour and then we slept in in a we just had thin sleeping bags and this was too too cold it was a crazy experience yes it it rained all the day all night and we were so frozen in that night um I remember in in the middle of the night we uh we put back on back to stay warm yes oh that was a horrible experience but this time we take uh we took some uh warmer sleeping bags with us and I hope this night should be uh warmer [Music] [Music] how much we did we did 75 kilometers and so there are only 25 km yes but I’m very tired it’s hard and there are coming some black clouds imagine if it would raining now please no [Music] we were slowly running out of energy at around 3:00 p.m it was time for new power so we decided to have lunch again second lunch a tasty second lunch [Music] [Applause] [Music] hello a few kilometers later came the next inflow the break ends are we only had about 5 kilometer to go from Braans to the campsite but because we were tired we didn’t film anymore [Music] we are on Lindo Island and it’s 7:00 in the morning yeah it was a little cold and it rained in the night yeah I’m a little tired no and you uh yeah um I’m cold but I hope it will get warmer soon and yeah I love the atmosphere when everybody is sleeping and we are riding across the town and today we’ll drive round about 80 kilometers to our car it’s the last part the second and last part of our tour and then we will have uh circled around the lake constants [Music] [Music] [Music] heat [Music] [Music] heat [Music] [Music] [Music] heat heat [Music] [Music] we passed many beautiful towns on the north side at the lake from now on the lake constant cycle path became fuller the second day had much more sunshine and was therefore warmer [Music] [Music] heat heat [Music] [Applause] now only 20 kilometers remained to the finish we were already quite exhausted but it was unexpected for both of us that we had managed this distance so well we hope you had a little fun too
