Hi
I've done a few tours in France now.
I love the freedom of cyclo camping but even though I love France I fancy touring somewhere different in Europe this year.
I use my bike to commute daily, ride at weekends, I'm in reasonable shape for a forty something and will be cycling alone unless anyone wants to join me/meet me along the way.
Here's what's on my tick list;
- 50 miles (ish) a day with 5 or 6 rest days.
- maximum 3 weeks in August.
- camping with occasional bed & breakfast in bigger cities.
- great scenery.
- not too many mountain climbs.
I'd love to hear your suggestions/favourite tours as a catalyst to get me planning.
My initial thoughts are the Eurovelo 5 to the south of Italy or the Camino de Santiago (but cycling this route feels like a cheat).
As always, thanks in advance for any info.
