ooh, me sweaty nads !!

Hello to the free world, any one who's ended up here by mistake and those of you who have actually made the effort to come and have a look! This is the sad story of a man who has suddenly realised that his not quite athletic body (and I know that's stretching the definition of the word just a little bit!) may not live up to the challenge put before it by one of his oldest friends! That is to cycle nearly 700 miles from Berlin to Stockholm !! For no good reason other than why not!

End of Day 2: Lychen to Altentreptow: 45 miles (107 total)

The afternoon was not very eventful, managed to just avoid the rain, and a few more steeper but shorter hills. My legs are a bit sore tonight as we seem to have pushed it a bit by going faster than yesterday and uphill!

Went out for a meal in Altentreptow, which was busier than Lychen, by 12 people, so things are on the up! Went to a local bar and watched three middle aged dorises watching some sort of East German Variety show, hosted by a Geri Halliwell lookalike, except this woman was stretched into widescreen, but she still looked as big as Halliwell once was!

Back at the not so charming B&B now and gonna crash soon. Lot`s of cycling to do tomorrow , but we are staying in a nice hotel tomorrow night, with spa and sauna, so looking forward to a little bit of luxury

About Me

This is going to be a journey into the unknown for me! I am not a cyclist, haven't really ridden a bike in about 20 years, and never over any great distance! Suddenly I'm about to embark on a cycling 'holiday', covering up to 50 miles a day! And I haven't really done any training. With two weeks to go I have finally borrowed a bike and gone on a couple of 17 mile rides, and I'm feeling OK. But bits of my body may not feel so good when I start doing ~50 miles in day. We'll have to wait and see. this is all my old friend Ben's fault. He is a keen cyclist, and has cycled distances before.

So the fun begins!

For the latest route plan and intinerary, see Ben's link below

I'll put the pictures on here properly when I get the chance, but to see them before then you need to highlight and copy the bit below where O2 says click here - starts with http:// and ends on the same line with numbers. Paste this link into the browser window and hit return (go). You should see the pictures on a O2 page (in a naff phone).You can look at larger versions or click on next below the phone if there is more than one picture)
