trip postponed

Folks, followers and foolowers, freaks, fans and fellow-men, boys and girls, ladies and gentleman, magnificence, spectabilities, my dear audience,

let's think of FFF 1st, that is fridays for future. And 2nd, hold on a minute and think of what the hell did that crisis, corona, climate-change and so forth to us all? What happend to mentalities?

Sure, we all need freedom, fridays and future, FFF, yes, but FFF, the acronyme in German words is like that: Frieden, Forschung, Freigeisttum. You can use dictionaire. 

Well, having had archieved the next level on university that means in affairs of qualifications I am allowed to conduct my own studies, now, with humans as my test subjects. Everyone knows a questionaire or a test a treatment after or just simple a poll. 

However, one might think of "The Experiment (film, 2001)" done by Philipp Zimbardo. One has to know how, mathematically as well, but not only. To do that, psychological research, the right way according to the international criteria and standards, also in standards of ethics (e.g. formed and released by the APA, the American Psychological Associaton) this, to conduct studies, surveys, polls and experiments is my highest merit in my life and: ought to be a lot of work to do, to do desgin, conduct, evaluate and present an experiment's data and findings I am allowed to (accreditiation). I would like to, too. It is not an adventure, but an enterprise: relevant, understandable and exciting.

Moreover, the my injury in the knee is alomst overcomed, no pain left in the knee, e.g. both if fully streched and angeled, and before, during and after exercise of swim, bike and most important run. That is why next triathlon - check out site: www.ostseeman.de - is ahead, 4th of August, long-distance 226k.

Actually I would really like to leave as of Germany people became mischievous. And even worse in case of  "The Experiment becomes The Wave (film, 2008)". There is a real danger? Yes, and that is why the state strives to control people by fear like for the usual, but now by the establishment of a Orson Welles's 1984, 40 years later, but AI supported? No need for paranoia. However, conspiration-theorists became many. Why? In order to find sence. To structure complicated information by the means of simplicity. True, crisis is here. And despite of no one is persecuted, observed like described in Welles'  1984 , does suffer hunger or has no medical saftey e.g. in Germany, therefore life-quality is good, but wealth is reduced by inflation e.g., sure, thus the outcome of traditionally cold-minded Germans is dangerous in affairs of mental health. Take hours online for instance: the latest study attests the average German (aged 29 to 39 yrs) 73 hrs online a week, that are 10 hrs daily. "Natural born digitals", lets call young people born the 3rd millenium like this (aged 18 to 29 yrs), are 91 hrs in interaction with quadratic screens a week, that are 13 hrs a day! In international mental health catalogue latest version, the IDC-11, 3,5 to 4 hrs a day behind electronic devices and screens is said to be the broder? Between being pathological and healthy. Not funny, is it? Now think of how those "internet-junkies", Fridays For Future activists as well, do act in the real world as of a of spill over from VR (Virtual Realtity). Can someone who suffers Asperger (Thunberg) be a leader? And if so, is Alzheimer (Biden) the appropriate answer? Or is it the other way round and Asperger is the answer to Alzheimer? 

Don't t make it as long as you can fake it or what is this here? Male, female, a pipeline or a toaster? :D

Let's see how it comes. Well now, it is no more an aim to leave the state and country before August (plan A), but triathon 226k at 4th of August (plan B) after. Actually A became B and B became A. Knee is whole again and, surprisingly like health came in as well, accreditiation, too (plan C). Late in life, yes, but better late than never.

Never give up! Cheers, Michael

launch of my new project: 17000k from Gibraltar to Cape 17 countries transcontinental

 

Hey folks, 

today on here (the internet) time came to introduce and make quick launch a the my new project. Read further if interested, of course, in sponsorships and sharing more n' over, if course. Ty.

The plan is to start 1st of March from Nuremberg by bike, with a 4 season equipment round transcontinental whole of Europe down to the very South (Jbel Toubkal 4167m in Africa, Gibraltar) up to the very top (Northern Cape) and back (within 6-8 months) latestly 31th of October. 

 

START/END: Nuremberg 49° 11' N / 11° 5' O

stage 1: Strassbourgh - Tolle - valley of Loire - Carcassonne - Andorra - Barcelone - Almeria (3000k)

stage 2: Nadar - Morocconian desert - Marrakesh - Atlas - Jbel Toubkal (4167m) - Tanger (2000k)

stage 3: Gibraltar - Nazare, Peniche (surfing) - Santiago de Campostello - Santander (2000k)

stage 4: Plymouth - Cornwall - Wales - Ire - Scotland - Ben Nevis (1345m, hiking) - Hull (2000k)

stage 5: Breyvik - Oslo - Bodo (town of cult. in 2024) - Northern Cap (3000k)

stage 6: Inari - Southern Finland (kajaking) - Helsinki - (2000k)

stage 7: Tartu (town of cult. in 2024) - Balts - Poland - Slowenia - Bad Ischl (3rd and last town of cult. in 2024) (3000k)

sum: 17000k 

17 countries: France (1) - Andorra (2) - Spain (3) - Morocco (4) - Spain - Portugal (5) - Spain - England (6) - Wales (7) - Ire (8) - Scotland (9) - England - Norway (10) - Finland (11) - Estland (12) - Lativa (13) - Lithuania (14) - Poland (15) - Slovakia (16) - Austria (17)

This became really look like of someone on the bike (mtb) could sourround Europe by building bridge in order to include Africa as a continent. Thus, the trip makes moves two continents more closely together. The my original plan was to cycle to Morocco in order to hike up until to the very peek of Toubkal. Then the idea grew and this the plan became born. Meanwhile preperation is done 1 month before launch. Actually I wanted to fly to Barca from Nuremberg, however, bought new equipment during the winter thus a light and warm sleeping-back and a the ultralight most modern sleeping-pad made that change, too. Optional Saint Petersborough is on the list, which depends on visa for the Russian Federation and time. Really, it is far and no need for a hurry, thus 100k a day is the pacing, having had to include days of rest and for action (in climbing, hiking, kajaking & experiencing culture besides of the long rides, 6-7hrs daily, in the saddle).

Thus, the high-lights will be the eight shippings by ferries, sure, the desert before the Atlas mountains in Morocco, Jbel Toubkal (4167m), sure enough surfing at Peniche & watching the surfers at Nazare, Santiago de Campostello for pilgrimage, spotting surfers in Spain again along the Atlantic coastline, next Cornwell, land's end, the castles in Wales, a Guiness or better two pints in Ire, Whisky in Scotland and being in the Northern Highlands, having to inspect Loch Ness, bars and join in karaokee again, Ben Nevis (1345 m), the long way-road up to the Cape, having had visited Bodo before and the Lofoten Islands. Cape after next is a boat-trip on lake of Inari, later on kajaking in Southern Finland I do look forward, too. A lot to do at such an adventure. Having set over form Helsinki to Tallinn a visit of the town of Tartu (Estonia) is on the shedule, maybe Saint Petersborough, too, that is 1000k extra on bike, and finally the long road back through territories far in the East of Europe heading Bratislava and thus the river of Danube with Bad Ischl in the very end, this way I'll have paid all the 3 top towns in culture of Europe a visit elected for this year 2024 by the international authorities.

 

Next weeks are enough time to get fit again by cyling at home. Thank you for your the attendance and in attention, stay tuned & healthy. Have fun as well!
