Shanghai πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ - Cologne πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ
I am not chasing speed records, but rather enjoy the outdoors and discovering new places and sights on the way.


Started cycling in 2020 on a touring bike, just to get out and enjoy the sun and the outdoors. As the frequency and distance increased I changed to a hybrid bike, and then to a road (endurance) bike.

When i agreed to drive my wife to Suzhou and stay the weekend while she is attending a seminar, the weather forecast was more favorable for a bike ride. But the roads today were very empty and I felt surprisingly good and happy, didn't mind the rain at all ... maybe I should ride in the rain more often

My wife attends a seminar, I offered to drive her ... and bring my bike along. But from the favorable weather forecast not much was left today. Went for a walk between breakfast and finishing a presentation - and tried to make up my mind if I would go cycling or not.

My original plan was to go somewhere out of town, but by yesterday evening I hadn't even thought about were to go and what to do, so I decided to do a classic: Thamestown.

A little modification at the beginning: went north around Hongqiao Airport instead of south on HQP Highway. But after joining HQP

cycling today was part of the tour plan. The girls chose to do the gondola ride up the mountain for some stunning views over the lake.

The originally booked arrangement was for an e-bike ride from Arrowtown to the Gibbston Vineyards. I changed this, and did a human powered bike ride from Arrowtown to

Walk through Arrowtown, a former gold mining village that popped up during the NZ gold rush around the 1860s.

It also has some remaining buildings from the chinese settlement that now is like an open air museum with displays and explanations of the history and conditions the chinese workers lived in.

Nowadays a visit to NZ is not complete (I guess) without having visited Hobbiton, the movie set where scenes from 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbits' where filmed. And it is a remarkable set, with 44 dwellings scattered throughout the hills. On a sunny day (as ours today) it does look amazing.
