Planning a bike trip? (page 4 of 37)

Awesome project, well done!! Say hi to Hérhyck from the Coissous. Hope he’ll be back in touch. (We stopped by his place during our 2009 France tour. Amazing welcome, plus tricycle test rides on top of that.) We were won over—now we’re eyeing manufacturer websites while we save up to invest. And if you head for the "south" Cape instead of the North Cape, you’re welcome at our place. See you soon, maybe...

At the end of February 2010, I’m heading back to Morocco to cycle the Draa Valley to Mamhid, self-supported, with Ali Baba and a few nomadic cycling friends. http://velo-nomade.over-blog.com/article-19427784.html I’ve been dreaming about this for 10 months now 😉

Happy New Year 2010 to everyone!

For me, it’ll be the EuroVelo 6 in July. But which section??? Still not set—there are three of us girlfriends, and we haven’t decided where we’ll start or how far we’ll pedal yet...

To be continued,

after a trip through the High Atlas in October 2009: khenifra-aghbala-aoujgal-anergui-zaouiat ahansal-tabant-azilal, epic, stunning... and tough. Mongolia project for May-June 2010: western Khangai (Uliastai or Tosontsengel), towards the Khan Khokhii massif, Ulaangom, Ölgii, northern Altai, Hovd, a quick detour to see Przewalski's horses at Khomiin Tal if we have time, then back—6 weeks planned, ski gloves and hats on the packing list, it’s gonna be non-stop...

Hi, I'll be following your adventures because I'm supposed to do this route in September 2010; have a great trip

Here’s our lovely project for 2010: cycling to Turkey on a tandem bike with a little detour through Finland. We’ve created a nice website for the occasion, which we’ll update daily for friends, family, and fellow travel enthusiasts:

www.tandem-europe.com

For about 70% of the route, we’ll be using EuroVelo paths. Departure: May 1, 2010. Arrival: September/October.

Hi everyone. After a tour of Corsica last summer, I’m considering the Route des Grandes Alpes from Thonon-les-Bains to Menton or the Pyrenees crossing from Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Perpignan for next year. Happy riding to all.

Hi, how are you getting back from Istanbul? By plane, with your bike on the plane? Have a great day

Seriously, you’re going to LOVE Mongolia!!!!!

Good prep and safe travels,

🙂🙂🙂

That’s the question we’re asking ourselves—either we take a flight if it’s possible, or we return by train, or we sell the bike in Istanbul and fly back without it. We’ll see when we get there. Anyway, once we arrive in Istanbul, we’ll stay for a few days, so we’ll have time to decide based on the situation.

Well, it’ll be Grenoble to Copenhagen in June 2010 (5 weeks on the agenda) for my first REAL bike trip. Just gotta get going now...

You’ll see people biking in or out of Istanbul—it’s no easy feat! ;) A great alternative is taking the bus: it’s fast, comfortable, and bikes go in the luggage hold. We ended up liking that option a lot in the end...

Good luck!

Yeah, I heard there are massive traffic jams, especially around the bridge. But we’ve got a great contact there who’ll take care of us... Anyway, I guess biking into any capital isn’t exactly pleasant. Thanks for the info though!

Hello, I’m a bit late to the party, but I just got back from a month-long cycling trip in Madagascar. I’ve posted a summary on this site. I’ve been retired since October 1st, so I’ve got plenty of time. In 2010, I’ll be following my son as he competes in the Mountain Bike World Cups. So, I’ll be heading to Switzerland and deep into Italy (Val di Sole) in July. Maybe early September in Canada for 3 weeks. After that, I’m thinking of going back to Madagascar for 3 weeks or a month—still by bike, of course.

Right now, since it was 30°C in Madagascar and -10°C in Gap this morning, the temperature shock without any decompression is brutal. I’m really craving some sun! I’d love to head to Mallorca in January for some cycling!!!!

Best regards, Jacky

Hi there,

I’m planning a 2-month solo trip (July & August) from Guérande to Copenhagen and back. Outbound along the coast, a loop around Denmark, then returning through the interior.

Happy trails!

Hi Janodou and everyone else,

For me, it’ll be Lorient, Paris, Prague via the Paneuropa Radweg, then Łódź in Poland (family visit). After that, the return trip through Berlin and the LF1. Happy planning and safe travels to all!

Hi there, for June I’m leaving from Lyon to Chartreuse, Vercors, Montagne de Lure, Mont Ventoux, Luberon, Camargue, then back to Lyon via the Causses, Mont Aigoual, and the Auvergne volcanoes. Luc

Can't wait for March 2010! There'll be lots of us hitting the road together...! We're starting in Switzerland and hoping to reach New Zealand 18-24 months later after following the Danube, the Silk Road, Southeast Asia, and the Australian Outback!

I'm leaving in March for a six-month tour of France. After that, I'll head east, wherever the wind takes me. Goal: Australia before I turn 31 for a working holiday visa, and then back to my beloved New Zealand for at least three months... After that, we'll see what kiwivra has in store...

Hi there

For the start of summer 2010, a little Geneva-Salzburg trip over 3 weeks! First trip longer than 11 days outside of France—I’m so excited! 🙂
