Already a Name Change

The purpose of this blog is simple. I want to keep track of the bike rides I take through the Münsterland area of Germany, where I live. I originally also wanted this blog to serve as a kind of guide for people (primarily English speakers) who are interested in taking bike tours in this area of Germany. I also thought the blog could provide people who didn't see themselves riding anywhere near Germany in the near future with a virtual tour of this very bike-friendly and lovely area. Originally, I named this blog "Biking Through Münsterland." A few days ago, I set out on my inaugural trip. Sure, I've biked around this area plenty of times over the past two years, but this trip would be the first one I would write about. I mapped out a great, albeit lengthy, ride. All started off well. I took plenty of pictures and went over in my head what I would write about each. And then the inevitable happened. I say inevitable because it always happens to me when I take a new route. I got lost. One would think that a rider armed with a bike traill map and riding through a very well-marked countryside would have no trouble finding his destination. I assume for most riders around here, that is the case. But not for me. As usual, I did end up where I intended--by accident. But I didn't end up taking the exact route I had mapped out. Once again, I was the accidental bike tourist wandering aimlessly through this still-to-me foreign land.
