General: This will be a live report, but I will not everywhere have the opportunity to come to the Internet. Particularly in the Appalachians it is usually be no wireless coverage. So if I should not report for a few days, then hold you to the motto of the travel guide is the Galaxy "Do not Panic" and not immediately inform the National Guard. The arrival: Somehow I'm going come later from home than I had planned and I wanted to not miss the train, I have to hurry up a bit. The roughly 25 km to the station, I then managed in 1.1 hours, a decent breakfast but had to be canceled, so quickly was a pint of coke and 2 cheeseburgers brought in Maces. The train was leaving aside problems of delay due to redirection, but I was glad to have taken the earlier train. Let himself off the bike well, but I had to fix the front wheel with a Scloss to prevent the wheel back on the roll. By journey at 2011-09-15 By masterful travel masterful at 2011-09-15 Frankfurt airport then the handlebars and pedals was mined. The handlebars, brake levers and the Rohloffgriff were wrapped agreco in the frame triangle in plastic wrap. The pedals were also wrapped, but put into the luggage. Into an Ortlieb Back Roller was the handlebar bag and put both then carried as hand luggage. The remaining saddle bags were stowed in it along with the luggage put in a medium-sized Ortlieb bag to be abandoned as Freigepaeck. By travel masterful at 2011-09-15 After I had paid on Speergepaeck switch 150, the bike was picked up by a nice loadmaster. agreco Air out of the tires I had no drain. Even otherwise the CheckIn went smoothly and I was waved through almost, although in my luggage a lot tool, electronic devices, batteries, etc. were. The flight lasted longer than expected. I got to know some nice people but what shortened the travel time subjective. Arrived in Chicago, it took about an hour until I was at the range with the passport control. The control was nice and then the officer gave me a few tips for the bike ride. Was a baggage check it for me, but I was the fastest way to output shown. Outside a few meters from the entrance to Fughafengebaeude I then started to assemble my bike, and I was then asked by a man from Germany just to take care of a few packages that were destined for Fort United States - making it so everything is. Also, my "tour guide" who had missed her connecting flight to Canada came by and still wished me all the best for the trip. The bike was assembled, but it was already 22:36, as I sat on the saddle for the 36km from the airport to lay back. I was not at all comfortable with that check may be and still can not beat half the night sort of dead, because it is too late. So I gave back a lot of pressure to have done as possible to 0 clock on the pedals around the track. On the way I saw all four cyclists, all were on the road without lights. With the cyclists agreco who had overtaken me at a red light, I gave myself a little then race over 10 km with red lights and stop signs anyway, have been almost completely ignored. I was then at about 0:02 clock there where I thought that the hotel is, but since it was not. Somehow, the imported map from Google in OruxMaps was faulty. So I looked around first a 3/4 hours, until I got the idea the Navigon GPS came on my Android mobile phone use, weches me then in about 5 minutes to the hotel brought. Well, the hotel is a youth hostel, but with youth hostels in Germany have not much in common. agreco When I arrived agreco at
