45. Last whirl of the wheel. (July 31)

July 31, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

It has taken me a week to get around to writing to you, because baby Elia and I have been so busy catching up and playing. This is a last look at the stats after finishing… 55 sunny days of pedalling from morning till night + 2 days of heavy rain when I stopped + […]

July 24, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Suddenly Oslo popped up, and my family were waiting for me at the finish line! . My first hugs in a long time! and 4138 kms since I left home. Photos still to come, but most of you have seen the video on Instagram or Facebook. It was a very happy moment, although it feels […]

There are two respectful ways to enter Copenhagen, one is sailing in, and the other is rolling softly in on a bike. One should take a full day to do it. When cycling in these realms, one needs a particular set of skills. Kealena and Bruce kindly gave me a crash course, thereby avoiding unecessary […]
