  1. I am happy for your friend. As to the how hard can it be comment, well 2 people died trying it. They were both younger and fitter than me.

    wasn't meant to make an a.. of you sorry if you took it that way.

    Lots of cyclist get into trouble in France every year trying to do what the cyclist of the tour do. Same goes for mountain clymbing.

    You need a good preparation, and sometimes a bit of luck too especially as not all car-drivers are used to cyclists and roads can be in poor condition.

    I had my forrestery education, and had a practise in the Bavarian mountains, and as I didn't have money for a car I did everything by bicycle/train. At first I had borrowed a MTB (all terrain bike) but that one broke down and in the urge to get transport i bought a racing bike.... man oh man cycling on forest paths in teh mountains with big stones being pavement ahhh broke the steering rod, and needed new weels all to soon....

    but my condition after 16 weeks of cycling in the mountains on thin air..... whow

    I did some match dancing at that time, latin and ballroom, and I couldn't get tired..... at free dancing nights I would be lucky to get the chance to drink something and visit the loo once..... girls were standing in line....lol (I was a good dancer, wasn't because they wanted anything else from me, though I married one of my dancing mates....)

    I whish you luck with the preparations, and keep us informed when you go, you never know who could be cheering at the side of the road (having a beer and a bbq meanwhile...lol)

  2. I'm just slightly over weight (92 kg's) with a length of 1.83 meter (were's my agenda, there I can translate those...lol)

    thats 6 foot tall and 202 pound???? my strive is around 85 kilos..... but thats been the same for over 4 years now....

    I don't have much trouble with my weight/condition but I'd like to get a bit healthier (eat better food)

  3. having 3 active kids is what does the job for me (at 33) they do everything to get me exhausted after work/during weekends especially since they have 3 weeks of summer holiday to go and their sweet mom lets me have them as soon as I get home (she's fed up with them at that time, and I can see why...lol)

    we do lots of swimming together and a strawl in the woods is on our program almost every weekend

    What gave me the best condition was riding my bicycle in the mountains though, had a practice of 16 weeks when I was young, and no car so I had to do everything by bike/train.... after that period I couldn't get exhausted dancing for 6 hours on a time (ballroom/laitin, matches)

    I'm looking for a job closer to home so I can ride my bicycle to work, and I prefer walk that needs oudoor activities..... (collecting field data)

     

  4. watch out that loanshark don't bite ya...lol

    Glad we don't have em over here, I'd be broke till the bone for ever.....

    I'd love to ride a bike though, but I also know that hobbies (except for that frikkin computer) never last long with me....

    I do ride a bike though on sathurday for the groceries....

    here's my ride...lolIPB Image

    (It's black, and the hood is usually off)

    My wife uses it during the week to transport our kids (3 of my own, the eldest has his own bike, and 4 kids we take care of)

  5. Dass ist auch ohne Deutch kein problem, aber mein fehler ist dass ich kein Hochdeutch sonder Bayrisch spreche So ein Scmarrn lol

    I do know a lot of austria but never seen this place were is it?

    I'm comin over to the german-austrian border at christmas (2 weeks in Fuessen) maybe I could go up there one day.
