5 Days in a nut shell
Monday, 29th September
Sara leaves from Gleina, Naumburg in Saxony-Anhalt to Rudolstadt. She stops in Eckartsberga for tea with Luisa, then continues to Rudolstadt, where she arrives at 5pm after 94 km.
Tuesday, 30th September
Sara spends the entire day riding, and sometimes pushing her fixie up the mountains of the Rennsteig. After 140 km, she finally meets Josh in the centre of Bamberg.
Wednesday, 1st September
Josh and Sara continue their journey together, along the Main-Danube-Channel to Ansbach, where they are warmly welcomed into Family Koch's home. 105Km counted the speedometer that day.
Thursday, 2nd September
With many incidents of getting lost, breaks of map reading and bad road quality but no sore bums thanks to our comfy saddles – we finally made it to Ulm, having mashed 130km roughly.
Friday, 3rd September
Our host, Bernd Hummel, decided to ride parts of the last leg with us, took the wind and pulled us through to Friedrichshafen with 30km/h. At around 4pm we arrived happily at the EUROBIKE!
The Fund-raising will continue
At EUROBIKE, we met many promising bike brands and associations, like nutcase and VSF, as well as Selle Anatomica, who are interested in supporting the Short Course and Swaziland sustainably.
Still -every coin and word makes a big difference!
Help us spread the word
How can you get involved?
