The cycle trip to the North Cape is now over, and the post cycle pleasure is just starting. I have put together the first of three videos on my cycle trip. This video is on the leg of the trip from Eindhoven to Tallinn. I hope you like the video. It was fun putting it together! 🙂

A race against the clouds to Stralsund. Wind and dark grey clouds behind me, I hurtled through the Mecklenburg Vorpommern fields.
Day 5. 126km. Hamburg – Flessenow

One could almost call today hot – if I forget what hot means in Australia. And sunny. From main roads to little side roads, to soft sand challenges. From fields to forests, from rather flat to quite hilly. From cycling in a group of 3, back to alone. A nice day.
Day 4. 137km. Bremen – Hamburg

Straight road, slight bend, straight road. Bush bash, soft sand and big rocks. Lovely afternoon and evening with Kai and Kersten from the cycling forum.
Day 3. 147km. Bad Essen – Bremen

Sun, lakes, swarms of bugs, cycling accompaniment, the Bremen town musicians and fresh asparagus looking out over a lake at sunset.
Day 2. 128 km. Sythen – Bad Essen

I didn’t sleep too well, was up in the middle of the night, and got up before 5 to leave by 6. The excitement was getting to me, and now also the lack of sleep. Today was a cycle through the haze in my mind and the grey skies in the heavens.
Day 1. 166km. Eindhoven – Sythen

A cycle trip like the good old days with Ed – singing as we go. Sun, blue skies, strawberries, Rhein River in flood, motor bike cafe Schnitzel, everyone friendly. Ideal start to my cycle trip.
Cycling forums are great. This time the German forums

In summer 2013 I will be cycling from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to the North Cape in Norway. After putting together a preliminary route, I have been asking advice on different cycling internet forums. The response has been amazing. First I updated my cycling route in Poland to follow the Baltic Sea coast, and now I have updated the German leg to connect with my new Polish route.
Many thanks to the people in the 2radforum.de cycling forum. I have been given long distance routes to paste together for my trip, advice on where to go and where not. I also have a couple of people that are going to cycle along with me for a time, and even offers to stay at people’s place overnight. I am really excited with the response, and I’m looking forward to meeting up with some people from the forum next year on my trip! Thanks everyone!!
Here is my new route.
Updated summer 2013 route through Poland

In 2013 I will be cycling from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to the North Cape via the Baltic countries. I have been putting together a planned cycle route from different sources on the internet, generating a gpx file of the route.
After speaking to a Polish guy, writing on some Polish cycle blogs, and doing some more internet research, I have decided to change my route through Poland to follow the coast, and pass through Gdansk.
Here is my new route.
To reach the coast Baltic Sea coast in Poland, I also changed my route through Germany, using a cool bike route finder called Naviki.
18.11.2012: I updated the German route following recommendations by a German cycling forum.
My route through Poland now follows the EuroVelo 10 path, passes down an amazing looking sand peninsula to a place called Hel, and passes through Gdansk.
Thanks to Pawel for inspiring me to cycle along the coast, and to check out the Polish cycling forums. And thanks to all the people on the cycling forum that helped me out.
The new Polish route is a concatination of routes obtained from bikemap.net. The main one was the EuroVelo R10 route.
