Day 4 – (BIG DAY) Herzberg to Bad leburg 

Unfortuantly, the hotel restaurant could not accommodate us last night as they were so busy, so we certainly made up for it in the morning. The Germans may pinch the sun beds in the morning but we beat them to the breakfast! 

  
We knew today was going to be the biggest day as a 114 mile route was planned. However, to avoid the unsuitable footpaths we had to take diversions and ended up with a MASSIVE 125 MILES! This is the longest both of us have cycled before, but loved it! 

The scenery today was lovely with German rural villages and the further West we travel the better and better the cycle paths get; however, Germany has a ridiculous amount of traffic lights!

We have had very traditional German food today with Bratzwurst sausage for lunch and Snitzel for tea, washed down with local beers. 

We were going so well today, it took the police to stop us as apparently there is a speed limit on the pavements! 

It was David’s turn for the impressions, we pulled into a pharmacy to ask for some Savlon. 

“Is it itchy, hot or sore” said Helgar 

It took Geoff to stop David pulling his bib shorts down!

    Fantastic effort chaps, you are both our hero’s. We have been over awed by the photographs and the superb work rate. Take care and watch out for speed cameras.
