Hamburg to Umeå

Posted by jack On August - 22 - 2010

… I am becoming less and less sure about what to write in this space… or perhaps what people are interested in hearing about, and what is worth writing. I want to write more about activism, Read the rest of this entry »

Belgium to Hamburg

Posted by jack On August - 20 - 2010

Absconding under the cover and confusion of darkness I began the journey north into the unkown.

Derelict buildings, open fields, endless roads, full dumpsters, a plethora of bike paths, friendly Read the rest of this entry »

De Bereklauw

Posted by jack On August - 17 - 2010

De Bereklauw also known as “The Ideas Factory” is probably one of the coolest places, no actually the
coolest place I have been to yet. It is owned by a wise old man with a heart of gold, a mind as sharp as his eyes, the most awesome beard I have ever seen… Okay, I lack the Read the rest of this entry »

Paris to Brussels

Posted by jack On July - 18 - 2010

As wonderful as my experience in Paris was I quickly became tired of being in a city. So a week after I had arrived I packed my things and took to the road. It felt so nice to be out in the countryside again. I took my time riding across the giant uninhabited expanses of agricultural land, enjoying the peaceful solitude and Read the rest of this entry »

Paris

Posted by jack On July - 12 - 2010

It’s funny how 2 days can just turn into a week. I mean I was sure I would only go here and maybe a bit there then call it good and head for Belgium monday morning. But I think that would just be uncharacteristic of me to just stick to some drab schedule… Read the rest of this entry »

Experiencing the French Countryside by Bike

Posted by jack On July - 2 - 2010


Because of the pathetic lack of photos contained in my last post, which was late, is not cool for a photo blog, I have decided to post one of my collections of things I have photographed in France. Check back on this one from time to time as I go back through my massive archive and add more photos when I get a chance. Read the rest of this entry »

On the Road Again

Posted by jack On July - 2 - 2010

Flayat to Limoges

All my material possessions neatly and deliberately packed away I said my goodbyes to Eric and rounded the corner to finish the another beautiful chapter of my life.

The familiar road rushing up to meet my wheels as I wounded down the snake like back roads through valleys and quiet french villages felt like an old friend I hadn’t seen for a long yesterday. The wind blowing through my hair and new sights that steadily glided past reminded me Read the rest of this entry »

Flayat

Posted by jack On June - 13 - 2010

My kind of Mad

During a quiet, muggy day weeding in the green house at Les Jardins des Mondoux a curious looking man appeared at the end of the tunnel. He sat upon a sharp looking road bike. His slightly disheveled appearance accented by long curly hair and a five-o-clock shadow seemed a bit unbecoming of one in the saddle of such a bike. The bike was a Read the rest of this entry »

Les Jardins des Mondoux

Posted by jack On May - 27 - 2010

Les Jardin des Mondoux is an organic vegetable and egg farm on the edge of a quiet town called Les Mondoux set in the historic Limosin region of France. During my free time I was able to check out the local castles as I was right next to the Route of Richard the Lion Heart.

The farm consists of 2,000 square meters of Read the rest of this entry »

Mars to Les Mondoux

Posted by jack On April - 11 - 2010

The journey from Mars Farm to my next destination took all of two days in the saddle. Having no map or schedule I took my time and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. I set a leisurely pace across two lane country roads winding through Read the rest of this entry »
