JL:
124 km, 8 hours 3 minutes.
Early discover my broken sunglasses. Solution: Sunglasses € 10.93 at a gas station (bad to win). Then found that the rear wheel is has some small cracks. Solution: dismantle and change. Then, when searching for parts, we see that they missed the bike shop and sold us two decks of 23 inches instead of 25, which are the ones we use. Solution: Find where to buy more in the future. We also see that the chains are somewhat dry, and we must help it to avoid breakage. Solution: go to a gas station to clean and lubricate. Way of the station starts to rain we first dip of the day. Solution: put a brave face and singing in the rain. And started to walk under it with ease, as do the beasts. Half day at about 15:00, the second dip of the day. We do not get neither the raincoat. Jump in time, arrive at their destination at night: Neuhof town. We reserve the Gasthof. Well, the devil wanted to have two hotels with the same name. A modern, charming, typical construction, wireless and buffet breakfast breathtaking display in which we had reserved. The other without any of that, grungy, and a kitchen in which Freddy Krueger would be happy. Guess what we got by mistake. And we will go over the costs of the other for failure to appear. In addition to not having internet connection can not see the route tomorrow and not loaded on the GPS so we'll have to go with a paper map in hand, old-fashioned.
Are we going to put in a bad mood?. Why, perish the thought. And yet the stage has begun to moderate wind from the zero point. We got up at 7:00 and so we started shooting incidence around 11:00, so arrive at their destination was at 21:04. Not bad when you consider that the sun was setting at 21:08. It has cost us much effort, so much so that only 8 kilometers before we have had to stop for dinner. Or eat something or not arrived, there were no pedal strokes on the legs, were empty. Salad, fish and potatoes in twenty minutes and running for no was done at night.
All this was worth it because we have gone through interesting sites.
First, the route passed through two nature: the Nationalpark Hainrich and Biosphärenreservat Rhön. Since we are not far from the birthplace of the German poet and scientist Goethe JW (Frankfurt am Main) does not hurt to remember your advice to better enjoy the scenery:
"Looking at Nature
Never lose sight of
neither whole nor the detail
magnificent in its vastness
nothing is in or out;
rare and wonderful
front and back are
it as a thing itself.
This certainly will learn
then this sacred secret
published thousands of voices "
Secondly today we crossed the old line that separated the two "Germanies" to 1989. It is curious to see the old guard towers, but no one forget the visit or embarrassed while we have not learned anything.
Finally we saw the famous salt mines that exist in this region, whose exploitation occurs in the open. The surprise appearance from a distance as you can see a huge white mountain that stands above the rest of green landscape.
