59 year old Male originally from the UK but since 2009 living and working in Hamburg Germany.
long time Cyclists with a former back ground in Cycle racing mainly Time Trialing. until having a bad accident in 1991. I only returned to riding a bike after my move to Hamburg with my Wife. since then there have been many ups and downs. most left overs from my injures and the fact that I am no longer 21. I have over the Pandemic time moved more in the direction tour riding / Adventure/ Gravel /Bike Packing. that is basically that up to 2022 .

From Ottensen to Cuxhaven

So my first Bikepacking trip with overnight stay.
From Hamburg to Cuxhaven on the coast.
The route went mainly ok.
One bag fastening issues and a front derailleur issue and two unmarked Elbe Cycling route closures were the only bike and Navi issues.

Physically it became a challenge once past…

2nd attempt to get back on to my Bike this year after an illness and an operation back in February. My attempts in June were cut short after back irritation and saddle sores and a three week break for everything to clear up, and getting our summer holidays out of the. Finally I can start building up

Finally after over seven months I am back on my Bike with a lot work ahead of me now.

After been side lined with illness and a operation & still under limitations from the operation.

It was finally good to do a short tour ride , for now 9 km may as well be 80 km after such a time loss.

Anyhow at least I

This Navi track is not following the correct or current Grüne Ring Hamburg .I came across several route errors along the way. Some were down to building work taking place across the route .while other were simple this GPX route not matching the sign markers from the route. Having never ridden this route
