Day seven of @journalismnews owner @johncthompson‘s epic 11-day ride from Brighton, UK to Oslo, Norway in aid of @JournoCharity (Journalists’ Charity), @CR_UK (Cancer Research UK) and @GistSupportUK.
Journalists – watch the video and listen to the audio about the great work of the Journalists’ Charity. And learn more about my ride.
I will be braving hills, rain, wind, punctures, sore muscles etc so please make it worth my while by sponsoring me as generously as you can afford.
Here are some tweets from today:

Lots of wind turbines in Germany, but not so much wind today, fortunately for me #newscycle twitter.com/johncthompson/…

Today’s ride covered 68 miles with 764 feet of climbs.
Final tally 65.5 miles completed in six hours.
Pleasant riding today but not all on cycle paths. Still surprisingly cool – I’m told some bad weather may be on its way down the line.
Long night’s sleep in Bremen hostel. Some noise, Euro related but barely stirred. Entry into Hamburg involved weird tunnel with car lifts and much ducking and weaving past construction works etc. Hotel in Hamburg again by train station but much more laid back with bars and restaurants nearby.
Another day of cycling in Germany tomorrow, then it’s on to Denmark – the final country before Norway.
