The third and final video segment of my summer bike trip is ready. After 5000km, arctic-cycler is well and truly in the arctic. I explored the barren, glacial landscape of Norway’s northern-most peninsulas. I cycled down roads most do not visit. At peace with the beauty of Norway.

New Video: 2013 Cycling Adventure Part 2: Helsinki – Nordkapp
Posted: September 18, 2013 in CyclingTags: Cycling, Estonia, Germany, Kaliningrad, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Nordkapp, North Cape, Poland, Russia
The video of the second segment of my cycle trip this summer is ready. This is the Scandinavian segment where I started in Helsinki, passed through Finland, Sweden and Norway to the North Cape (Nordkapp). I cycled through endless beautiful forests, lovely little villages, fought off swarms of ravenous mosquitos, and did a lot of night cycling. Night time is the most beautiful and peaceful time to be on the road. I ended at the North Cape to appear on Norwegian television. Another highlight of the trip. 🙂

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! 🙂

I melted today on the dead straight road into Калининград. The border crossing was easy. Finding the hotel was not. Hotel Internet and money was also challenging. не работает.

I declare today hot. At least for cycling. But really lovely weather. Sunny. Beautiful. The fields radiate out summer and life. The forests are cool relief from the sun and a beautiful green. Life is good.
Day 11. 32km. Hel – Gdansk
Posted: June 18, 2013 in Cycling, PolandTags: Cycling, Gdansk, Hel, Poland
My 11th day was not dominated by cycling. Instead it involved skyping, sleeping, grocery shopping, lieing on the beach in Hel, sharing cycling and life notes with a fellow German/Australian cyclist, meeting two lovely Polish forum people, drinking, dining and sightseeing in Gdansk, oh, and a little bit of cycling.
I wanted to sleep in and have a lazy amble to Hel – it should have been a short day. I am now in Hel and tired. I am quite looking forward to a cycle-free day due to the boat schedule.
Day 9. 203km. Dzwirzyno – Łeba

An absolutely awesome day. Top notch bike paths, speed stretches on good road surfaces, bumpy, sliding sand tracks, fields, forests, bush bashing. 203km to Leba.

I am lying on a beach listening to the waves roll in. It is warm and it is quiet. I contemplate my day. I found it a trying day. It’s nice to come to rest now.

This morning I got up, clicked together my Teva sandals, and said to my bike Lambchop: ‘today we are leaving home’ (Germany – one of my homes).
