Day -15: Vorfreude

When I first thought about a bigger bicycle trip, it seemed all so far away. Now I could count the remaining days on my hands - if I had three of them.

How do I feel? I am excited and since Johanna's and my 4 day trip in May, I am also pretty relaxed about most things: cycling, cooking, building up the tent, and sleeping in the tent with wind and rain. I am still a bit worried about the sleep-place uncertainty. What if I do not find a good spot? What if someone is angry about me putting my tent up where I put it up? At the same time, I know that those worries will become much less daunting once I hit the road.

What do I still have to do?

• I bought my bike last year from a local bike shop in  Babenhausen, close to my hometown. The bike is great overall. However, the bicycle stand (Fahrradständer) hits the disc brake whenever I fold it in. I already had to change the disc once because it got deformed ("hatte 'nen Achter"). So now I want to visit the bike shop before I leave and ask them if they have any other idea besides removing the bike stand.
