Today a few kilometers less, but that was quite a lot of altitude today, about 2000. That was a permanent up and down until noon today, at the maximum 450 meters above sea level, then back down to 0 m, then up again to 300 meters. While driving again and again great views. Way up sweat, up freeze while moving then again the other way around. Also my navi led me once again a route down which ended in a dead end with scree wall. Not even without luggage I would down there. At the beginning on top I thought to myself "Fortunately I do not have to drive up". 2 kilometers further down, after inspection of the scree wall, I had to turn around and make the Willi. Have the video linked here. Honestly, the earlier me (2 weeks) I would have heated to white heat, not today. Have cursed briefly, then shaked it off and went back. Anger does not help. Besides, pushing is good for my shoulders. Apropos, so the shoulders are good again, also my gum sore is finally growing together I think (I have to keep my tongue from exploring the sore all the time today, annoying, and again I caught her running over it), now it's the left knee that hurts. So that's how it is when you get old. Before I try it with painkillers, I have my saddle times readjusted and now let's see how it develops tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I should now but times a bicycle dealer to visit because of the screw, am in a larger city. After breakfast. And then, direction west. Quite on one slide I will not create it tomorrow to Naples. That would be a day of violence and on it, I said to myself in advance, I do without this time. Always tranquil, around 120 km. That must be enough. With the overnight accommodations it will be on the route around the season a bit poor, but then I'll just lie down under bush for a few hours, but I'm hopeful. In Naples I will then stop again for a few days. Eat pizza, Vesuvius and so. What else? Actually, I'm so relaxed right now and out of everything. Things that bothered me massively just 3 weeks ago are just gone. Even old injustices that have otherwise easily put me in displeasure, have grad little meaning. Actually, it is just so that I do not even know what day of the week we have just, nor since when I am on the road. I don't care about the day of the week, I don't have to work tomorrow, for everything else I keep a diary. Otherwise today north wind, north wind, north wind, was great when I was heading south, so very rare. And dogs chased me, the further south I go, the freer they run around. Today the 5 got a short lesson, the lab manager spoke. my bike I may take today in my room, yes. Could of course not leave the fingers with me and have already twiddled on it So in this sense I want to let it be today, good night and Mr. Putin, please end the war.
