I'm living in NRW, precisely Ruhr.

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 a Japanese restaurant 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...
I rode 4,500 mile including lejog in 2019 and I am ashamed to say that I have covered fewer miles each year since then. I am hoping to rectify this in 2023 and would also like to have a couple of outings with the tent during the year. I rather fancy the Coast & Castles ride in Northumberland too and visit places where my ancestors are from.
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..![]()
