The summer seems to have come to a sudden halt. It is overcast. No sun screen today. Long pants and jackets for Oma, Opa and Heinz, but not for us young ones.
Today is a long distance trip again (50 km), Mum is slightly worried that we might get tired.
She needn't have worried! The sky might be overcast, but the strong winds are blowing our way! It turns out that we break all our previous speed records, and easily so. Even without pedalling, just being propelled by the winds, we make 10-12 km/h. Add to that that the track today is very straight and very new, with lots of smooth concrete.
Opa challenges me to a race, and he checks the speed with his fancy speedometer. I break my previous record of 24 km/h by 3.8 km/h, totalling 27.8 km/h along the dykes of Wilhelmshaven. My brother got 30.1 km/h with Aunt Petra!

| Fancy hair style! |

| Yeah! |

| Someone deposited these hay balls on our path, so we move them. |

"Yeah!", first across the line was Jonas, followed by uncle Heinz, I assume? Or what is he doing on the (hay) podium?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for more blogs. Keep them coming!
First across the line is always the centre of the podium - that's me! The question is, who came third?
