Day 1 of carnival: uneventful!

So I rode through aachen, my butt was so sore I started singing songs to myself about my butt hurting. And well düren wasn't too far from aachen, and it was flat too so that was grand. I stuck to the main roads, didn't follow the few cycle signs I saw, passed through eschweiler and a few other Weilers, which is ironic cause these were decent sized cities and towns, yet I translated Weiler to mean hamlet. This is also when I wikied the dog breed rottweiler and sure enough, they originated in rottweil, Germany! So I had the carnival stuff on my handlebars and it was driving me nuts again, the bag was slowly deteriorating as it rubbed against the wheel! so nearly 30 km to birksdorf in north düren, and I arrived! Very quaint and quiet neighborhood. It was 5:55 pm, so just getting dark. I rode 44.99 mi, max 24.5, avg 7.4 and took 6:03 cycling time. My host was a middle aged man from warmshowers, who lived in an apt on his own. We put lance down in the basement, like how I had been doing with a lot of my dutch hosts. But when I walked into his apt, I was quite shocked! It was a complete mess! Shit was just everywhere!! I thought Omg, how could someone offer their place to guests, whether it be friends, family members, or strangers, and its like this, unnavigable! Well needless to say, his kitchen was in quite a state as well, so he suggested we go out for Greek fast food, in the area. He asked if I wanted to go to the town
Center for the carnival celebrations and I said no, I had the whole weekend to do that, and he said ok good cause he didn't really want to go either lol. Ok the dramatic story continues tomorrow!!
