Well, the bike is once more boxed up. Debbie and Aaron are now somewhere in the Bay of Biscayne with Royal Caribbean and I’m about ...

So I knew I was at the French Border, or rather had just crossed it, as there was quite a turn out of Gendarmes and ...

There are dozens upon dozens of war cemeteries dotted around northern France and Belgium. They vary in size from just a dozen graves to the ...

So, Tuesday, Madeira, Wednesday, England, Thursday, France so Friday must be Belgium. After a week of basically being very lazy and sampling the local wines, ...

Well, took the night ferry to Harwich and then cycled on to Harlow. Had a few hiccups, not of the alcoholic type, on the way ...

The last few days can best be described as “repositioning” day. After the marathon bus ride to Düsseldorf, it was a relative quick cycle west ...

After a long day waiting for the Bus, I’m now onboard the FlixBus heading from Budapest to Düsseldorf. My bike safely behind the bus on ...

I’m sitting in a railway Bus Station with a ticket for my destination, on a tour of one night ...... Enough of that! But I ...

I was of two minds today. Do I leisurely go to Budapest over 2 days or do it in one day. Well the Slovakian part ...

Today I thought i’d take an easy 80k ride. Life isn’t that simple. It started out okay, and I even stopped to have some tea ...

Yesterday, the bike paths were overcrowded with cyclists out enjoying the heat. Today, virtually none on the way to Bratislava. I guess the “in” part ...

Another hot (as in 32 degrees) day with an opposing wind but made it to Vienna. Plenty of cyclists today. I once again thought - ...

It was just another wonderful day in the saddle. Didn’t feel as tired as expected after yesterday so the miles rolled by as each bend ...

The morning was bicycle touring perfection. The Danube was at its visual best, the temperature hadn’t yet reached 32 degrees and the wind was still ...

It must be said that the approach to Passau is distinctly more romantic and scenic when done by a river cruise boat. By bicycle from ...

After yesterday’s highs, today was somewhat ordinary. The countryside was flat, given that this was probably a large flood plain before the Danube was contained ...

So, as normal it started a grey damp morning as I passed thru fields of grain and Hops (this is Bravaria, land of lager). However ...

First of all, a slight modification on yesterday’s post. Take the Train Until Neuberg. I would recommend stopping in Donauworth for lunch. It has quite ...

The best thing about today is that the traveling is over. I’d call the section I rode today a pain in the butt (and neck) ...

In certain circumstances the gentle sound of raindrops is lovely - like when walking thru a forest before having a coffee in a cosy cafe ...

The actual start of the Donau River may be a little disappointing but that certainly wasn’t the case as the river left the town. It ...

I really wasn’t sure how far I’d get today. It was 120 kilometres from Strasbuourg to Donaueschingen (Start of the Danube) but it was also ...

You never know how the day is going to turn out. I was feeling somewhat tired as the last few days had taken their toll ...

Well... Today should have been a pleasant, relaxing ride along the Rhine towards France. The weather was good, the campsite last night was the best ...

Well today was not as interesting as yesterday, gone with the castles and in fact much the time was spent away from the river. Mainz ...

Today was Castle Day. There were ruined Castles, well kept Castles, even the Castle in the water. But every short distance there was a castle ...

So today was my first full day following the Rhine towards it’s source. The morning was beautiful but the afternoon spent dodging rain clouds. It ...

I camped last night at a place called Beringerzand. I think in the summer it would be heaving and jammed packed, but at this time ...

First of all I must sing the praises of Komoot. It’s a website, an app and works on a Garmin. It is fantastic for planning ...

Well, I’ve completed the UK leg of the trip, admittedly it’s also the shortest and took only 3 days in good, if cold, weather. Now ...

So far the weather has been different each day. Today was cool with showers early on followed by breezy conditions. England can be quite gorgeous ...

So, an early start and by that I don’t mean the cycling. Normally it’s at least a week in before I’m doing Debbie Tech Support ...

Well, it’s day 1. Actually day 3, but who’s counting the flights and dubious pleasures of LAX - standing in lines, removing shoes, belts, answering ...
