Alphabet Challenge - the early bird in summer mode
Almost 48 new KM this time!
A darn long game and the elimination of the German national team against Paraguay meant I only set off late or, more precisely, early in the morning at 01:45.
Actually, I wanted to experience the sunrise shortly before 5 am on

Alphabet Challenge (after a long time, a tour again)
It was almost 26 new KM this time!
A warm summer day in Schleswig-Holstein ; ) It was warm with over 20 degrees, with a bit of fresh wind from the northeast
A great cycling day, a day off during the week, almost like a holiday.
I treated myself to the

HOVED TING 2026 Day 5
Früh begann der Tag, um kurz vor 5 Uhr weckte mich ein Autofahrer, indem er auf dem Parkplatz direkt neben der Schutzhütte wendete, dabei in die Hütte mit Abblendlicht hineinleuchtete und dann mit Standlicht und ausgeschaltetem Motor ca 7 Meter neben mir stehen blieb.
An Schlafen war so natürlich nicht…

Wow, what an amazing tour! I just read your report with great interest. The pictures make me want to pack my bags and set off myself.

HOVED TING 2026 DAY 4
Während die ganze Meute am Shelterplatz ab 5.00 Uhr laut scheppern die Klamotten packt, um die 07.00 Uhr Fähre in 12 KM Entfernung noch zu bekommen, denke ich mir anfangs was soll der Quatsch, reicht doch wenn man erst um 06.00 Uhr oder 06.15 losfährt. Oder einfach ganz entspannt aufstehen…

HOVED TING 2026 DAY 3
Nach einer beengten Nacht im schmalen Shelter starteten Simon und ich gemeinsam in den Sonnenaufgang.
Es war wieder mit kurz über 0 Grad recht frisch, dafür aber kaum Wind und nur leichte Bewölkung, später dann Sonne.
Auf dem Turm von Munkebo Bakke genossen wir kurz die aufgehenden Sonne um uns…

HOVED TING 2026 Day 2
Ausgeruht und gut gefrühstückt (es gab Haferflocken mit Nüssen und Banane) startete jeder von uns mehr oder weniger individuell am frühen Sonntag morgen.
Ich genoß die Küstenline im Morgendunst für mich alleine und trudelte dann in Svendborg in einer Bäckerei ein. https://lolobakeryandbar.dk/ (ein absoluter Traum, sehr zu empfehlen)
Hier herrschte…

HOVED TING 2026 Day 1
Attacke ab Mittnacht. Los gings, wie oft üblich mit einem Höllen Tempo. Nach 2 Stunden und knapp 53 KM sagte die Vernunft und die Pumpe, mach mal langsam, kommen ja noch 950 weitere.
Cool wars trotzdem, der schnelle Ritt in der Gruppe durch die Nacht.
Im Anschluß pendelte ich mich…

After a frosty night—a fellow traveler's thermometer showed -10.4°C in the shelter—the first order of business at the Winterdors overnight camp was to thaw everything that wasn't in the sleeping bag.
Because frozen bananas or solid milk aren't exactly practical for eating.
Even a few gas canisters had

The Winter Village Overnighter lived up to its name. A frosty ride northwards, which, due to the weather, took place on asphalt.
I started off on snow-covered paths to the train station in Neumünster, from where I took the train to Rendsburg.
From there, it was the last 5 km to Fockbek, to the starting

After a wonderful evening around the campfire and a hot tea for breakfast, we set off at a brisk pace against the fresh southeast wind back to Flensburg. After a stop in Rödekro for a second breakfast, a quick drive back to the starting point of the tour, and then we caught the train home in good time.

Only the journey to Flensburg was a little different for me. With plenty of time to spare, I took

On my way to the Christmas overnighter (hackenpedder-bikepacking.de/weihnachts-overnighter), I set off on Friday evening around 6:00 PM for a campsite on the Schlei. The route was quickly planned: a fairly direct ride through Kiel and Eckernförde, arriving at the campsite around 11:00 PM. It was a pleasant

- Actually, I wanted to start in the evening around 7:00 PM, but due to the passing rain and a look at the weather app, I postponed the start to Tuesday at 5:00 AM.
It was supposed to rain very little. Even at the start, it looked like the app wasn't wrong. But after just 1.5 hours
