Congratulations!!!! Hello Bill + Gerri, We are so glad, you finished happily your trip on the cycle without any problems. Wish you good flight back home. A big kiss to you and Robbi. Love Dietel und Jürgen
Hi, Ken! We think of you guys every time we put on our neck coolers. Thanks!!
We are holding up just fine so far. Today is our first day of really hard rain so we are holed up in a McDonald's that has Wi-Fi. Life is good!

How's the butts and legs holding uplier Howdy folks we have been watching your progress,very interesting looks like fun and hard work.Tried to send you a message earlier but wouldn't send so am trying again,keep up the good work and keep us posted K.D.
Hey You Two Thought I posted yesterday, but I don't see it. Anyway, just saying disregard the huffing/puffing behind you on the climbs. That'll be me trying to hang on your rear wheel as I live vicariously through you and your adventures. Stay safe.
Loving the Blogs Just a quick note to let you know I'm really enjoying your blogs. Kind of boring here in Albq, NM about now with 100' heat....only early morning rides are feasible. I'll be living vicariously through you two for a while, so if you hear some huffing & puffing to the rear, it'll be me trying hard to hang on your rear wheel......little tough on that last climb. Take care and be safe. Gary
Hello I really enjoy your blogs, it gives me a reason to get up everymorning just to see what you guys are doing. You have a real gift in story telling Gerri! Thank goodness Bill is good at fixing flat tires! Safe rodes to you both.
Flat Tires Believe it or not, Steve, I am running Schwalbe Marathon tires on Lady Liberty. Bill and I run those or the Armadillos exclusively. But you should see some of the rough pavement and cobblestones we´ve subjected our steeds to in the past few days.
Hey, good luck on YOUR upcoming tour. Enjoy life!
flat tires Gerri
We need to have a serious conversation about tires. You have a brand new Lady Liberty in your life and she needs high quality tires. I may be out of line with my opinion but I feel obligated to offer some unasked for advice. You need to try Schwlabe Marathon Plus tires. I have had 18,000 trouble free miles on the rear tire of my touring bike. They are not cheap but well worth the money. Other than that, I look forward to the description of your tour on a daily basis
Happy Trails Steve
Great to hear from you again Thanks for including me in your blog. I am envious and attentive to your comments. They may make it easier for me if I ever make the jump across The Pond. Until then my own adventure starts in about two weeks. I plan on riding the Great Parks North Route.
Looking Forward to Hearing More
Steve
Hi Hello, I hope this message finds its way to you. I also noticed that coke seems to be the product of choice in Italy and Greece, i don't remember France. I practically jumped over the counter and kissed the guy that sold pepsi in this quiet adorable little town called Tolo. That aspertame in the diet is not good for you... stay away... far far away. Drink Water!!!!Bottled or filtered, of course.
Talk with you soon!
GOOD
Wow! So wonderful, I like it, thanks for sharing this with us. Congratulations! You have the wonderful writing & presenting skills. I am hoping in future same work from you.
Thanks once again.
Almost There It is almost time to leave. Thinking of you and looking forward to hearing more about your exciting adventures. Be safe and have a wonderful time.

Happy Trails I hope everything goes well and you have a memorable trip. Hopefully you will be able to keep posting to your blog so that we can follow your adventure.
We first began bicycle touring when we were in our 40s. Now that we are retired, we can really indulge our travel fantasties. In fact, most of our vacations are by bicycle. In the US and Canada, we have biked the TransAm, the Southern Tier, the Northern Tier, the Great Parks, Alaska, and many places in between. We've also toured Europe three times by bicycle. Summer of 2011 we did a loaded tour from Lisbon, Portugal, to Frankfurt, Germany, via Spain (reverse Pilgrim Route to Le puy en Velay), France, Switzerland, Lichtenstien. Austria, and Germany. Our trip is chronicled on this blog.... full info
