Day 64

Day 64

It stands and falls with the wind.

As soon as the wind subsides, about everything is better. The wind is a little less strong and the day looks quite different. My mood clearly stands and falls with the wind. If the wind does not hit me so badly, my optimism does not evaporate so fast!

We did not have to make a forced lunch break today but could continue to drive on most of the day. The asphalt conditions also played along and I was able to bike smoothly at 30 km/h for quite some time. Much to my delight, the sections with the good road conditions were also the ones with less traffic.

The landscape is phenomenal! The coast is breathtaking. Everything was covered with a very fine, white sand, reminiscent of flour or snow.

The temperature ranged from quite warm to less than 10 degrees. When Kerstin accompanied me for a few hours on her bike, it was warm enough to drive with only a windbreaker. The later the day, the colder it became again. At under 10 degrees, I was on the road with my winter slack, leg warmers and a fleece jacket. To protect my buttocks, I have now switched to two shorts over each other. The more padding, the better!
