FAQ
People always ask the same things, so I decided to start a FAQ:
Q: Did you have some special preparations for your trip?
A: Errr... Physical preparations? I decided to do this two weeks before leaving. So... guess! My "special training" were the first days, in which 130 km were exhausting, and I had to travel for the whole day... Today I did 130 km just from Midday to 7 pm.
I tried to prepare the best way up to northcape, but that's all.
Q: Why are you travelling to the north cape by bike?
A: Why? I wanted to see the solar eclipse the first of august...
Why by bike? As I'm alone, it would be too expensive going by car there...
Q: And you are travelling this all alone?
A: Yes. For some reasons. some of them I realizes only today.
first: who gets 4,5 weeks of holidays in middle of July/August?
second: Who is so crazy going by bike to the Northcape?
third: I didn't realize, but I needed the time to be alone. Now Me, Myself and Angelika found together... I'm happy again.
Q: have you ever done something like this before?
A: Actually... no. Last year I wantet to go from Vienna to Lake Attersee, but I didn't even manage those three days. I just took the train back home on the first day...
Q: How can you motivate youself?
A: on the way to the northcape it was always: You want to see the solar eclipse? so, then go!
Now I don't have the solar eclipse, but I like travelling by bike... And now, when I don't have to care about distances, I do more Kilometers with less effort.
Q: Aren't you afraid?
A: Afraid? Afraid of what?
Q: Hm, don't know...
A: So do I.
Q: And can you repair your bike?
A: For "standard"-break downs like a bursted tube I have all necessary tools (special thanks to Dad) and skills. I even managed to repair my air pump. Ya, I'm keen on Do-it-Yourself... and while working as waitress I had the nick-name MacGyver: Having a solution for every problem.
Q: Isn't it boring, travelling alone?
A: No, it's not. It was just perfect, I had lots of time to think about some things. And this was necessary. There were only few moments, in which I had preferred to have company, e.g. at Oulu.
And travelling alone is the best opportunity to meet other people (you were perfectly right, Winnie!)
(To be continued...)
