Day Twenty Five - Ich bin eine Berliner

Good evening all

As you can tell by the tag Gordon is still in Germany..and he is camping by a large lake near the borders..no no not the scottish ones..lol..he spent this morning in Flensburg and checking the internet including NUFC.com..and then travelled south west to Lemvruch-dummersee..yes..i dont know where that is either..lol..Gordopedia tells me that dummersee is the name of the lake and Lemvruch is the name of the town..as is he is Germany this means he has been experiencing the 'fun' of the autobahns again and some crazy drivers! Talking of crazy drivers, Gordon said that when he was on a country road today he saw a tractor being driven on the pavement and instead of the guy being like..oops..he apparently looked at Gordon like he was the odd one for driving on the road!

When he was in Flensburg, when he was getting on the bike, he saw a 125 yamaha and presumed this was their first bike and then when they took their helmets off..he realised that they were actually OAPs!! They also seemed a lot fitter than Gordon...lol

This evening whilst munching pasta, he has been listening to american classic radio..hilarious texans talking about sexuality..ooo err missus..apparently it was better than the muslim network..am guessing he cant get radio one and Chris Moyles on his wee radio! lol

Weather today has been sunny and warm and then quickly overcast and rainy..maybe there is someone trying to get him ready for the weather back here again or so that he doesnt feel home sick..hmm..will mull on that one..fingers crossed it continues not to rain tomorrow for him so that he doesnt end up looking like the old riders that he saw!! he he

The plan for tomorrow and day 26 is to travel further south and head towards Brussels and out of Germany and have a wee day out there..the worry is the lack of campsites so we shall see where he ends up.

On a more charitable note, big BIG thanks for all the donations and we are now up to 98% of the target and £1,267...i think this is totally awesome..and please keep it coming people!! :)

That's it for now..only a few more days of the journey left now!!

Ride Safe Gordon

Miles today - 229

Suzuki GSX650F review

Hello there, And welcome to another edition of the Arctic Ride blog! My trip might be a distant memory (last year in fact) but there is still plenty to come from me both for Arctic Ride 2014 post trip (like this blog) and future adventures. I'm pleased to announce that earlier this week my blog reached 45,000 views which I am both pleased and humbled about. So with this blog I wanted to share my thoughts on the bike I rode on my ride to the Arctic this year, the Suzuki GSX650F. I've had many people ask me to review the bike and, well, here it is. My GSX 650F and I at the Arctic Circle in Norway As a background in my 9 years of riding I've ridden a smallish cross section of bikes, but I feel it has been enough for me to put some context behind my views on the GSX650F. An example of some of the bikes I have ridden include my first bike, Suzuki Marauder 125, a Yamaha Virago 535, Kawasaki ER5, SV650S, BMW LT 1200, Harley Davidson Street Glide 1800, and a Kawasaki ...

Why is the Dalton so dangerous?

Welcome to The Arctic Rider blog, Its now less than a year until I start my quest to conquer The Dalton Highway in Alaska, one of the worlds' most dangerous roads. The new 'Arctic Ride Alaska' poster I've still got a lot of planing to do and I've been working away in the background to get a lot of things firmed up, but I probably won't know the key parts of the trip, such as the exact dates I'll be going and the bike I'll be riding, until the Autumn. Anything I know before then I'll be staring with all you loyal readers of my blog. In this blog, I'll be covering why The Dalton Highway is so dangerous , and why I'm hoping you will share some of your very hard earned Pounds (and other currencies for non-UK readers) in exchange for the danger and suffering I'll be putting myself in next year. Firstly though, I must say a huge thanks to an unnamed Devitt Insurance employee who very kindly donated their employee-of-the month priz...

Looking back: Arctic Ride Iceland

Hello, Thanks for tuning into another edition of the Arctic Rider blog. Wow, so its been a week and a half since I returned from my epic trip to Arctic Iceland. The dust has settled and I'm back at work.. it almost feels as thought it never happened, a long and distant memory but luckily I have lots of photos to remind me it was real :) Day 12 - Southern Iceland The weather in Iceland completely battered me and I feel lucky to have got through this ride in one piece, having met other bikers who been blown off their bikes in the wind, dropped them on gravel roads, and been soaked to the skin by the rain. The battle against the elements was 100% worth it though to raise so much money for two amazing charities in Tiny Lives Trust and Cerebra. At the time of writing, Team Arctic Ride has raised OVER £5,000 for this ride. I'm honoured and humbled to have had such amazing support from so many dedicated supporters! I will be closing my donation page at midnight 31st July...
