Dirk Rohrbach's bike tour: adventure and encounters on the US west coast

Dirk Rohrbach, an experienced adventurer and photographer, told Wilhelmshaven about his impressive 3000 km long bike tour along the US west coast. During his impressive narrative, he gave the audience insights into the multifaceted nature and the unique encounters that have happened to him on his route from the Canadian to the Mexican border. His experiences took place in the pumping station as part of the “globetrotter series”, where he delighted with lively pictures and exciting anecdotes.

The description of his trip was not only full of impressive landscapes, but also from interesting encounters with people who enriched his journey. "In the morning you start at sea level and then you drive 400 meters high - and down again, up and down, up and down, only to go to sleep again in the evening," said Rohrbach. On some days, he spent more vertical meters than with an alpine crossing. This constant challenge made his trip both physically demanding and unforgettable.

a life for adventure

Rohrbach is not a newcomer in the USA. When someone who has already made 40 trips there in 25 years, he dealt intensively with the most diverse facets of the country. In his lecture, he shared experiences of his encounters with local personalities, including a fish seller with passion for the music and one of the last Indian chiefs who spoke about the challenges of his tribe. The adventurer also describes the city of Solvang in California, which is reminiscent of Denmark architecturally, and the Space Needle in Seattle, a symbol of the city that was designed after the Frankfurt television tower.

Rohrbach's decision to travel by bike came after he once explored the USA in a quick Greyhound bus. He felt that he wanted to experience the beauty of the country more intensely, which led to his decision to discover his experiences bit by bit. The choice of bicycle enabled him to perceive the individual sights and nature in a completely new light.

in Forks, Washington, a popular location from the "Twilight" saga, Rohrbach found another exciting attraction. The "John’s Beach Combing Museum" attracted him, where he was amazed at the large number of beach finds that were collected for over 50 years. Oldtimer construction helmets, dolls and even a 5600-year-old anchor chain were part of this collection, which stimulated the imagination of the visitors.

Rohrbach covered about 100 kilometers on his daily trips, which required both his physical abilities and his passion for cycling. While his lecture lived primarily from his exciting encounters, some listeners could possibly want to learn more about the practical aspects of this adventure, such as his equipment and his experiences in camping in various weather conditions.

The event not only attracted interested parties, but also demonstrated the high quality standard of the "World Bumpler series". Mirco Wenzel, event manager of the Wilhelmshaven Touristik & Leisure, indicated that Rohrbach's appearance will not be the last one in this series, which indicates further exciting lectures in the future.
