Anahm Introduction:
On the eleventh day of our incredible cycling journey from Rotterdam to Romania, we embarked on a marathon ride from Bingen to Bobenheim-Roxheim. This day was characterized by an early start, encounters with vineyards and horses, a visit to the cathedral in Mainz, and a night of wild camping on the outskirts of Bobenheim-Roxheim.
Early Start and Quiet Sunday:
We began our day with a 5 am start, eager to cover the 82-kilometer route ahead. It being a Sunday, we encountered the peacefulness of the early morning and the quiet streets, as many shops were closed. Thankfully, we had meals prepared from the day before, ensuring we were well-fed for the ride.
Perfect Weather and Vineyard Views:
The day greeted us with ideal cycling weather – clear skies and a gentle breeze. As we pedaled through the picturesque countryside, we couldn’t help but notice the vineyards stretching for miles, laden with plump, juicy grapes. The sight of the vineyards added a touch of romance to our journey.
Horses Along the Route:
Our route took us through charming rural areas, and we were delighted to come across friendly horses along the way. Their gentle presence provided a sense of connection to the countryside, and we took a moment to appreciate these majestic animals.
Mainz Cathedral and City Lunch:
In the city of Mainz, we made a stop to visit the magnificent Mainz Cathedral (Mainzer Dom). This centuries-old cathedral, with its stunning architecture and historical significance, left us in awe of its grandeur. After our visit, we enjoyed a leisurely lunch in the city, savoring local cuisine and taking in the vibrant atmosphere.
Wild Camping on the Edge of Bobenheim-Roxheim:
As the sun began to set, we found a peaceful spot on the outskirts of Bobenheim-Roxheim to set up camp for the night. Wild camping in nature allowed us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle and appreciate the serenity of the countryside.
Conclusion:
Day eleven of our cycling adventure was a day of endurance and discovery. From the early morning start and encounters with vineyards and horses to the cathedral visit in Mainz and a night of wild camping, it was a day filled with diverse experiences.
