FINISHER #42

Name: Jörg Lickfett

Residence: Germany

Year of birth: 1960

Bike: Salsa Fargo

Riding period: 03.05.24 – 08.08.24 South to North

Most favourite part:

All countries had their own charm. I also got to know many interesting places in Germany. I was most fascinated by the Atlantic coast of Portugal, the Spanish mountain regions and Scandinavia.

Random Thoughts:

At the beginning I just thought, I hope I can do it at the age of 63. In the end, I was happy to have made it, but also sad that the journey didn’t go any further.

In the first 7 weeks I didn’t have a drop of rain, but then in Sweden 100 mm within 3 days. This also pushed my good Goretex equipment to its limits.

I would like to thank all the people who helped me along the way, but especially my 4 companions who accompanied me on the various sections. 

Both my health and my equipment held up very well. I only had one crash and 2 flat tires.

It was a great adventure!
