23th March 2024 – first try of a longer bike trip – from Munich to Freising at the Isar

Today I woke up around 6:30 a.m. and ate a big porridge with almond butter and a lot of fruits. Very positive and energized I started my day with a wonderful blue sky and the warm sun, the chirping of the birds and the cherry blossom trees in the Olympic Parc. Then I rode my bike to the house of a friend of mine – Julio – and together we drove to the river Isar. 🙂

There we rode along the whole way to Freising on a lot of beautiful ways through for example the parc „Englischer Garten“ at first and later on through more rural areas. After a bit it begun to rain and we had the chance to test our rain gear for the whole moring. Sometimes there was just a little bit of rain but when there were sudden big amounts of rain. We took our smartphone and played a playlist with old radio hits loud and that boosted our mood quite well – and our rain gear kept us dry :)) ✨

We made a few small breaks under bridges and big trees where we had a small time without rain.

Then we headed to a mall near Freising where we ate lunch and shopped food for the rest of the day. On the continuing way something really unexpacted happend: After a few kilometers I felt awful driving at a slow speed and we had to make a decision. In fact I was ill in the beginning of the week I thought I were completly healthy in the moring without any doubt till this moment where sudden tiredness and uncomfort set in. So the illness wasn’t completly away and after 45km for me it suddendly triggerd the symptoms to come uup again.

Even if I wanted to it wouldn’t have been good to continue. So I talked to Julio and we decided together that it would be better to return home for me – to a warm bed for the night.

The way back home felt weird and wrong and I was so sorry that the tour should be ending so soon, espacially because I was so excited to camp the first time on a biking trip and going on a longer bike trip with Julio. But you just can change the things you can change and I couldn’t heal myself from one moment to the other…

So we took the S-Bahn (train) back and at home I slept for 2 hours straight after a cup of tea. Beeing at home now I can say: it was absolutly the rigth decision to quit this test trip – even it felt wrong, weird and I was mad in the beginning of the decision.

But: The test trip ended so unexpected and not quite good that hopefully our big trip to the Bodensee will be marvelously wonderful!! :)) ✨✨✨✨📌📌📌📌

And my last words for today (then I’m going to bed): Even when it was shorter than expexted and without camping outside and a tour the next day – riding to Freising was a lot of fun and I’m even more excited for our big trip that isn’t so far away anymore ✨📌
