Planning a bike trip? (page 21 of 37)

If my math is right, you're leaving in two days... We still have 6 days left, lol

Have a great vacation! !

We’re looking at three weeks in Portugal this September—probably a big loop around Porto, but no route set yet.

Have a great summer, and ride in the shade!

After much deliberation 🤪, I’ll be doing the North Sea Cycle Route, all by myself like a big girl 🙂. Leaving Saturday for Mijoux for the Eurovélogex, and after that—how far 😉??? Well, depending on what I feel like doing...

Deadline: August 15th !! 😕

And plenty of others in the pipeline!

Hi Caro, So we’ll see each other this weekend! David, who you hosted in Avignon on December 25, 2009!!

Hi,

I’d love to hear about your latest adventures...

Can’t wait to be there!!!!

See you Saturday,

Caroline

EuroVéloGex of course 🙂

See you in Mijoux

hi everyone, I’ve just finished my double crossing of France: Montbrison/Dunkerque, Dunkerque/Perpignan, Perpignan/Anduze: 2800 km; I was thinking of going to EUROGEX, but a death in the Oise is preventing us from doing so!!! have a good evening and happy Gex

Due to a last-minute change, I won’t be able to make it to Eurovélogex (I’ve got to go to Bourges :(

So I’ll be free in early August, no plans yet!

Random ideas: - A quick trip to Saverne in early August for the Pow Wow - Burgundy + Franche-Comté

To be continued ;)

We're all set! The whole family is ready to go for our early morning departure tomorrow.

Have a great vacation, everyone! :)

Have a great vacation and happy family biking! Just 4 more weeks until it's our turn to head to the Gironde with Baptiste, who's 4.5 years old and will be pedaling this year!

See you, Blandine

I just got back from a bike tour of Armorique and Ille-et-Vilaine! Took me about 6 days for roughly 270 km :) And it was just excellent. Since my work contract ends on August 31st, I’m torn between traveling around France or biking across the UK! Planning for about two months. Either way, I’ll need to get my hands dirty with some mechanics because my Giant CRS3—all stock—might not cut it :P

Hey Harptallica, Last year we biked through Sweden—if you’ve got the time, you should go, it’s gorgeous and perfect for cycling.

See you around!

I hadn’t thought of that yet—the Nordic countries are a destination I’d love to explore during my Europe tour too, but cost-wise, I’m a bit worried about the temperatures in September, October, November, hehe!

Listen, we had temps between 12°C in the morning, 20-22°C during the day (perfect for cycling), and 29°C by the Baltic Sea on the island of Öland. Sun, rain, and fog too in August—we swam every day in the lakes and also in the Baltic Sea.

We have amazing memories. We did the eastern part of Sweden: Stockholm, Gothenburg, the big lake, Vadstena, Eksjö, then crossed back toward the Baltic to go to Oskarshamn, Öland, and Kalmar—605 km in 15 days.

There are hardly any cars on the back roads, plus you often have bike paths where you're in the forest...

Anyway, think it over: you can also find cheap Ryanair flights—you land 1.5 hours from Stockholm, in Nyköping (it’s a Ryanair hub). Perfect trip with gear in the hold.

See ya!

I admit, it does sound pretty tempting! I’ll think about it (no rush, I’ve got all the time in the world, right...). It’s kind of a two-month prep trip for my Europe tour (traveling alone for a year... I love the idea, but I’ve got my doubts, you know?), and mostly to improve my English and just have a blast 😉, meet people, and all that... Plus, I’ve got a few addresses in Brighton and Portsmouth, so there you go!

That’s awesome, Blandine! We’re leaving next week—here’s the plan: Baltic Sea loop.

- Start in Berlin, head to Rostock for a ferry - Arrive in southern Denmark, then on to Copenhagen - After the crossing, reach Malmö, then ride up the east coast, stopping at Gotland island, before heading to Stockholm and Uppsala. - Cross to Turku in Finland, then on to Helsinki. - Ferry to Tallinn, then ride to Riga and Kaliningrad - Cross most of Poland by train - From the Polish border to Prague - Final stretch from Prague to Nuremberg

Around 3,500 km, I think—we’ll be following EuroVelo routes 10, 9, and 4. We’re pretty much all set; we just got our tent, and I’m so excited I can’t stand it!!!!

Happy travels, everyone!

This is my first project. A test run to see if I can take my little girls next year.

I'm thinking of doing St Brévin to Toulouse over 2 weeks in September.

Since I'm a beginner and will be alone, I'd prefer accommodations other than camping.

If you have any info on cheap hotels or other options, I'd love to hear it. Thanks

Good evening,

So, trailers, panniers... everything's in the car (or ON the car when it comes to the bikes!). We're leaving tomorrow at dawn, heading for Lake Constance...

Have a great holiday and safe travels to everyone.

GOOD LUCK TO THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!

hey everyone!
