After riding 136.7 kilometres I'm feeling surprisingly fine. This was about the easiest cycling day since the ride out of Riga.
To start with it dropped about 200 metres, and there were no hills to speak of. The towns on route were also barely worth mentioning so it made sense to take advantage of a cool, dry day to get as far as possible making Münster the perfect destination.
Most of the land in the region is farming, and endless fields don't make great viewing.
The most interesting place on the way was Warendorf, which is famous for its studs. Outside almost every shop there was a painted horse in the pedestrianised town centre.
The other place that could be worth a visit is a nunnery that seeks to replicate biblical times. It was a little bit off route so I didn't go as it was early in the day and I was unsure about whether I'd make the distance.
More about Münster tomorrow as I'm taking a day off.
