Day 13: Scenic Ride from Laufenburg to Reims | Country Roads & Self-Care on Can-Am Ryker | Camping

Join me on Day 13 of our European tour as I leave Laufenburg in Germany and head towards Reims in France. How far will I get? I start with my TomTom Rider 550 set to avoid motorways and tolls, but soon switch to more adventurous country roads. This journey is about balancing happiness and suffering with self-care stops, scenic views, and unexpected detours.

🌍 Highlights of This Episode:

Setting Off: Leaving Laufenburg and heading towards Reims.
Self-Care Journey: Taking hourly stops and eating well, starting with breakfast at Bakerei Cafe in Binzen.
