Day 11, Neustadt to Herten

-
255 miles today, started heading West to Holland to see the bridges taken in Operation Market Garden.
On the way were a few little stops for breakfast, petrol, a bit of sight seeing and some currywurst.
Not much done today but tomorrow should be more exciting.

Our route so far..... This morning was a fast exit because of impending rainstorms. We hightailed it to Stalag Luft III in Poland to visit the site of the RAF's and others mass escape from a German POW camp. Then into Zagen to pay our respects at the camp cemetery and memorial to the men who "were shot trying to esape" Our next target is Colditz so plan to find some accommodation not too far away. Ended up in an old (1732) inn at Burgstadt and after a pizza, a couple of beers and early night ready for Colditz in the morning.

Not much too say about the journey home, left in the rain and arrived home in the rain. A good breakfast from Thierry at L'Echappe this morning, perhaps a little too much coffee with all the rain I've seen today. Managed to stickerbomb the Eurotunnel bike park. Overall it's been another fantastic tour totalling around 3000 miles and 5 countries, 3 of them new to me. Poland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Let me know in the comments if you've enjoyed reading this blog as the app doesn't tell me how many, if any, have even read anything. Until the next one, adieu. 🏍

As Thursdays departure draws ever closer, time seems to slow down. I suppose its the same with every anticipated getaway or joyful event. At the same time, its best not to wish time away, as precious as it is. Popped into Tesco for some Euro cash after work, getting a better deal with their clubcard of course. Bags and panniers are packed and Helga is all ready to go.  For those wanting to follow this years tour, the plan is to ride from Calais to: Struthof Natzwiller (France) Ulm  (Germany) Munich  (Germany) Grossglockner Pass  (Austria) Kranjska Gora  (Slovenia) San Boldo Pass  (Italy) Strada della Forra  (Italy) Andermatt  (Switzerland) Cuneo  (Italy) Route des Grandes Alpes  (France) Home All the best......Andrew
