My First Few Day in Germany!

It was great to arrive and see my wonderful wife! And she was on time to pick me up! Amazing things do happen. Naturally it was cold and raining here. Perfect sign for the winter to come…..

One of the first things I did when I was here was enter Ironman Regensberg, it seemed like a great idea to have something to train for to help motivate me to get fit again and get rid of all the extra pies I eat.

So came my first day Monday without work…… I couldn’t wait…… I got up and made my wife coffee and got breakfast ready. After she left for work I settled down for a nice relaxed day. It was great, no stress I watched Chuck DVD’s, drank coffee and chilled. I headed out and did a little shopping for fruit and veg. It was great! Once my wife was home we headed to the supermarket and did a few little jobs that must be done. Oh and it is cold! Then Jetlag took over and was in the land of nod before the clock hit 9.

So I came to my second day of relaxation…. Verena’s has a later shift on Tuesdays. I was up and made Breakfast again, of course headed out early to buy fresh bread, still warm from the oven. Had a nice cook up of scrabbled eggs and made the table nice, put the coffee on. All was nice and tasted great. Verena left for another hard day and I was once again foot lose and fancy free….. And really really bored! I tried to relax, read, watch DVD’s, I got me veges and still I was so bored….. So I cleaned….. That’s right I cleaned! Then made a wonderful dinner! How the hell am I going to do this…? When does German class start? I am lost without Cycle Workz! So tomorrow I start training.

Now it is tomorrow…. I have once again done the Breakfast thing, and then had to choose between Cyclo Cross or Mountain bike! It was a big call; in fact it took another coffee to decide! After putting on layers of clothes I headed out for my first German Mountain bike ride. Plus had the fun of using my New TIMEX Globe Trainer (will let you know what I think of this later). I only rode for just over and hour, yet it was so different from riding at home. Out the back of Miltenberg am Main (if you want to Google it) is forest, so I headed up the fire roads, and it was slippery. Fallen leaves and rain don’t make for the best grip, still took it easy and had a little fun. I am looking forward to exploring more of the area with the local cycling club.

I had better go….. The boss will be home for lunch and I will be in trouble if it isn’t ready!

Till next time!
