… not quite travelling aimlessly, but not yet committed to any set route or destination for a 6 week tour in the Autumn. We are most likely to cycle from Aberdeen, here in Scotland, to Algoz in the Algarve, via France, Spain and Portugal. We are committed to:
- 6 weeks cycling (in Europe) for a start
- 50 MPD for 5 days a week; 250MPW; 1000MPM
- taking only what we need, not what we might like
- going tentless – we deserve a little luxury at our age
- using mostly paved surfaces, on cycleways and minor roads
- GPS navigation – with Garmin Edge 800 and iPad book reader
- Thorn Raven Sports Tour bikes
- learning as much language(s) as we can
- self-help mechanics where possible
- travelling mindfully, ‘ in the moment’.
We welcome comments and advice. Norman and Jacqui
