This is my last day on TDGB2025 and I am still surprised at how quickly nine days have passed. The weather is kind to me once again. From my hotel room window I see the sky glowing in soft yellow and blue, and the air already feels warm and welcoming. Breakfast has become a ritual on this trip like everyone of them before. I find a small boulangerie each morning and enjoy a fresh croissant. Today’s croissant was extraordinary. It was so flaky that it started to crumble before I even touched it.

Neo Cable Selection
Eight years ago, I started a page describing the different cables and connectors needed for long-distance travel across Europe with a TWIKE. At that time, Type 2 connectors were still rather uncommon. Even though I had already built a simple connector in 2014, I still listed this cable as something that might be useful.

One of the most interesting things I learned about the TWIKE is […]
TDE2022 – Day 12 – Grau de Roi to Biot, enjoying the Côte d’Azur
Coming from Spain, France’s idea of having fun at the beach is noticeably different. More planning, lots of ‘animations’, hurray-hurray ‘we’re having so much fun’ type activities and lots of ClubMed-style places everywhere. The French seem much more focused on having activities going on than just relaxing. I might have just stumbled across a stretch of the coast that has a concentration of such places. I’m leaving a day earlier as my family – I have arranged to meet with a work colleague of mine that lives in southern France close to Nice and couch-surf at his place for a […]
