I'll hopefully be cycling through there (Along the Rhine from Düsseldorf to Stuttgart) in April 2023.

Yes, I read your previous posting. That's a statement. I admire this as I'm not able to do it. I know my limits. The more I appreciate it if someone else is capable doing this. Stay safe and healthy. 🙂👍

I think Köln is more realistic, but my half-Japanese kids want to sample the Japanese restaurants in Düsseldorf...
Which reminds me; I still need to build at least one bike for that trip.

You are building a bike by yourself? Wow! 😮
My Gravel is a Backroad from Rose in Bocholt. Perhaps you know it.

"Assembling", would be more accurate (German: Montieren) I work in a bike shop, so I have most of the bits on hand...
One of my cycling goals is to try and build at least a bike for one of my boys, and one for myself, mainly for this tour. My son's will be ready in a couple of weeks. I still have to find someone who can fix (löten) the bits on mine because I'm being fussy...

If you've finished this I'd be glad to see a photo. Please tag me for that purpose (if you're willing to do this) so that I won't miss it. 🙂
My goal is to ride little and often throughout the year. I’d like to pick up some more veloviewer squares but that will be a mix of cycling and walking. I’m mulling over a cycle camping trip for the first time, and getting the train to somewhere that has Brompton hire. Mainly though I am keeping things small and achievable. Good luck everyone!

My imagined goals are 2500 miles(at least) and to bikepack the whole island where I live. About 70% is paved.

Just simply to get out on my bikes more often again... Get the Brompton fixed, get 'Fox' and 'le Pug' seen too, have more rides on 'Clive' (ooh err!) and finally get that ancient bike, said to be a pre 1932 Humber, built up - I have a lot of pieces for it, I even have a Lucas Bell from 1928 and Carbide lamp for it, but it's been sat in my loft in pieces for yonks and I need to finally get that number on the frame identified. Knowing my luck, it's probably a 'Bitza Bike', but hey ho, that would make it just as interesting! ☺️

Simple. Get out and about on day rides and go where I please when I please, stop when it suits me to ponder the wonders of nature, have a banter with someone, have a drink in an inviting hostelry, admire interesting structures etc..
Sounds fab to me 😎 Have a great Year !
