EP. 5: BONN TO BIALYSTOK – A NEW RIDER

Day 6 and 7 of bikepacking from Bonn, Germany to Bialystok in Poland.

For the record, this I’m awake. [Music] Uhhuh. Good morning. Um, still in Berlin. I had a little rest day yesterday which felt really good. I got the worst haircut of my life, but at least um it’s shorter now. It felt good to take a day off the bike and see some friends. And now I’m on my way to meet Hana. It’s uh close to 8. We’re going to have a little breakfast, catch up a little bit, and then get going. [Music] Don’t find [Music] this. [Music] [Music] [Music] This bridge is over the order which is um was the border between Germany and Poland. [Music] Welcome to Pol. [Music] There will be an old man. Please give him cash. Okay. [Music] [Music] See that angle? [Music] We left the capsaw this morning and we are riding 20k to next bigger village. Misfort. And there seems to be maybe some cafes but the Google maps was not very helpful. [Music] I miscalculated the distance to Misly Bots and it is 35k from where we started. So, we still have to go a little bit. [Music] [Music] Oh, that’s [Music] Weird. [Music] Stop. [Music] We already done almost 100k and it’s time for lunch. I won’t even try to pronounce the place that we’re reaching 3K. [Music] Yeah. See some [Music] really good handmade kurogi for lunch. For some reason, the restaurant we stayed at became a spot for all the bike packers around. We haven’t seen so many on the road, so that that was quite a surprise. We have another 25 to go to a little farmstead we found. There’s nothing around because it’s a tiny tiny village, but they said they’re going to maybe cook for us and have some food ready. Maybe we can even get some breakfast. Also seems like there’s a lake, so hopefully we can jump in. Now we’re just having a little stop and Anna’s trying to fix her computer. [Music] is on. Good. Genius. 5K left. I had a little crash in the sand. Nothing bad. And actually the last 10 15k have been really beautiful through the forest and like empty roads. I think we’re both a little tired. We’re going to try to schedule a shorter day for tomorrow. Get a dip in a lake and hopefully some uh homecooked food. We are supposed to reach the place in less than 1k, but it feels like we’re in the middle of the forest. So, I’m quite curious where this is supposed to appear right now. [Music]
