A reasonably short day today to Nurnberg (81.2km), still got to cycle back to the campsite. For some reason all of our shorter days seem to be bloody difficult. Today it was a headwind and my bruised knee! The bruise was a result of the combination of a generous local in the restaurant last night who bought us some extra beers and shots and my damn pedals that i cant seem to get out of when i start to fall over.
Only three more 100km+ days cycling to Prague where we will let our legs recover and chill.
The night before last was spent in an awesome wild camping spot. We were however woken at about 3am by some really strange noises that sounded like they came from a big animal. We think it was a couple of wild boars mating. His stamina was impressive.
Today we managed to get in some much needed chin-ups as the past two weeks of calorie deficient days have caused our upper bodies to be metabolised directly into leg muscle. Pictures will follow but the kids in the playground were mocking us in our lycra bib-shorts!
Next three days:
Nurnberg to Wild Camping near Czech border: 95km assuming perfect nav
Czech Border to Plzen: 100km - CZECH REPUBLIC
Plzen to Prague: 95km
Perfect nav is extremely unlikely as we only have one sheet of A4 with a map 300km a side on it.
Off to the supermarket to get in as many calories as i can stomach after the 4 mini magnum icecreams, 2 pretzls, half a pack of meatballs and a twix i just ate. Today we burnt about 5000 calories. Need to try and eat 3000 in the next few hours. Eating is getting boring.
