Rhythm Thief said:I know this sounds a bit daft, and not at all adventurous, but why not start from your own front door (depending where you live) and discover new places in your area? I went off for a week last year around an area of Shropshire I thought I knew really well and was amazed how much more there was to it.
Otherwise, why not have a themed tour? Me and a previous girlfriend did the Western Front, from the Somme to Ypres, on bikes a while ago. All we had to do was get the ferry to Calais and off we went.
You're right, there is a lot to discover in your own backyard. However, they are the sort of tours that I have done on long weekends. The summer holidays are longer and offer the chance to go somewhere else.
Last summer I cycled down the Rhine, and coincided with the Magnicourt Line on the French-German border. I had heard about it but seeing it was a whole new experience.
