Planning a bike trip? (page 14 of 37)

Good evening, I think it’s time to post this topic again for 2011. The enthusiasm is early, and sharing it is... important. PS: Hope your Greek adventure was amazing!!! Marc

Hello fellow adventurers!

For 2010, it’ll be a little three-day trip from Aix-en-Provence to Cassis, looping around Sainte-Victoire and climbing Sainte-Baume at the end of the week 🙂 ... just 4 more days to get through at work The huge advantage of this trip is that we’re leaving from home ... who said adventure was just around the corner? 😎 And for 2011, nothing set in stone yet—maybe Toulouse-Bordeaux with the kids, part of the North Sea Cycle Route with the little ones, or a section of the GTMC without our dear blond heads ... 😛

See you! Silenus

Hey!

Back in April 2011:

Paris → La Charité-sur-Loire → Nantes (following the Loire River) → back to Paris About two weeks... all by bike... crazy, right? 😛

In July:

Austria → Slovenia → Italy → France (around three weeks)

Until then, I’m chomping at the bit 🤪

We’re a family of four (ages 54, 42, 13, and 10), from Beloeil in Montérégie (Québec). We’ll be leaving on June 25, 2011, for a 23-day bike-camping adventure starting in Bordeaux.

Our route takes us through the Landes, the Basque Country, and the Pyrenees, with a detour east to see the Cathar castles before heading back to Carcassonne.

Hi,

For 2011, we're hitting the road by bike again. This time, Baptiste (4 years old) will be on his own bike—until now, he had the royal spot in his trailer! Don’t worry, we’re not torturing the kid—we’ve got a "Trail Gator" to tow him, and we’ll still bring his trailer in case he wants to take a little nap! Our summer 2011 destination is still up in the air. We’re waiting to test a weekend with Baptiste riding on his own, and we’ll decide based on his enthusiasm and stamina!

For the Rikimiki family, we did Bordeaux to Bidart in one week, self-supported, two years ago. Such an amazing memory—super peaceful: "Contis, a little seaside resort not to miss, with a quiet and shady municipal campsite."

See you,

Blandine

We did, back in 2011: ride around Montagne de Lure (like "Vélopépère") over Easter in 3 relaxed days big loop of Burgundy: http://www.le-tour-de-bourgogne-a-velo.com/la-carte-du-tour-de-bourgogne-a-velo--01fr.html in summer😎 or Berlin via Würzburg / Bayreuth / Leipzig / Potsdam😏

Best regards

Good evening, I’ve learned about your bike trip plans. If you’re looking for accommodation during your visit to the Cathar castles, you’d be very welcome here. We’re looking forward to hosting you—I’ve received so much help during my own travels, I could never give back as much. We’re located in the triangle between Toulouse, Albi, and Carcassonne. Safe travels and happy planning! Best regards, Denis

My current project is a huge European loop—something like "Amiens to Lisbon (via the Camino de Santiago), then Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Helsinki, Nordkapp, Oslo, Copenhagen, Prague (maybe), and back to Amiens." All by bike, for 2012!

Hey everyone!

For my part, I’m about to embark on a year-long world bike tour (I know, a year’s not much, and a world tour is a lot... 🤪 ). I’m leaving from Lausanne heading to Dakar on July 18th. After that, I’ll cross South America from Rio to Lima. Finally, I’ll do Calcutta to Lausanne, but I’m not sure which route to take yet: Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan???

For more info, here’s my site:

20km/h

Have a great day!

Leaving in February for a month in Croatia.

August 2011: Europe bike tour

July 2012: Asia bike tour.

Hi everyone,

For 2011, I’m thinking of cycling for about a month in France—starting near Givet and then doing a loop around Paris—but the route isn’t fully set yet. The only thing that’s certain is the departure!

hi everyone,

I’ve been reading all the amazing stories here and feeling the travel bug grow as I go...

I actually hit the road at the end of October, maybe for a round-the-world trip? Mostly solo so far.

Right now, I’m in the Maghreb, about to leave Morocco and head into Algeria.

If you’d like to know more or even team up, why not? You never know!

Cheers and have a great weekend,

For summer 2011, we’re staying in France. We’re starting from Bourges to reach Les Sables-d’Olonne, then following the coast to Bayonne—or taking the Compostelle route 2 to get to Bayonne. Still thinking about it!

A big week over Easter in the Charente-Maritime area to introduce my dad to cycle touring 😎

hi everyone

for my part, I'm leaving in May or June or maybe even earlier, for about ten days along the Nantes-Brest canal

and then after August, another ten days in the Cantal, still starting from my place in "La Rochelle"

that's it @+tony

Hey everyone, my dad and I are heading out soon. We're doing Grenoble to Cannes—I'm really excited because it'll be both of our first trips like this, and for me, my first real journey. We've got a tent and sleeping bags carefully packed in a bike trailer. We're planning to stick to wild camping. That's about it!

hi everyone,

as I set off on my round-the-world bike trip, I’ve now arrived in Tunisia, in Tozeur, with my current travel partner, Virgile.

the tensions of the past few days have eased here, the streets are calm... sometimes little personal stories intersect with big History, who knew?

anyway, our journey continues across the Maghreb before heading to the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and finally South America to complete the loop ;-)

take care and have a great end of the day,

cheers, Anthony

We’ll be spending a month in Bosnia-Croatia starting from Zagreb. http://www.openrunner.com/index.php?id=806872 http://voyageforum.com/...itineraire_D4007164/

Harwood, you’ll give us a little feedback, right? I’m interested! 😉

Since my teammate bailed on me, I’d rather go on a bike tour of Spain instead :D (about 3,000 km, I think)
