Germany, Europe
inexperience
When i was 16 i went on a cycling holiday with 2 girlfriends. We decided it was best to give ourselves a ride of 150 kilometers a day. We planned the route using a map of europe.Starting in Basel, cycling through France and then down to germany, back to Basel.We booked all the youth hostels before we left because we thought this was good planning. This worked well in France because it is flat, however, Germany isn’t The black forest area is freaking mountainous. We realised that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea using a map that shows distance as the crow flies!!!!! I have never been so exhausted in all my life!! 150 ks as the crow flies turned into 300 going up and down enormous hills that half killed us!!! Big lesson learnt…….had thighs like Arnie when i got back.
