EUROPE BY BICYCLE
From Lisbon, Portugal to Madrid, Spain. Then onto Santiago de Compostella, east across the Pyrenees Mountains and north into France. Across the Alps and through Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and into Austra. Then north and west, ending in Frankfurt, Germany.
On May 27, 2011, we fly from Harrisburg, PA, to Portugal for the start of our bicycle trip from Lisbon to Frankfurt. The trip has been in the planning stages for a couple of years. Now that we are close to flight time, the excitement is building. Bicycling is such a great way to meet people and see the world, as well as a great way of keeping in good physical shape. (Cycling all those miles means that we can enjoy those European bakeries.) We are avid touring cyclists. 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, the Pacific Coast, the Atlantic Coast, and many places in between. We've also toured Europe twice by bicycle. This summer we will be doing a loaded tour from Lisbon, Portugal, to Frankfurt, Germany, via Spain (reverse Pilgrim Route to Le puy en Velay), France, and Switzerland, Lichtenstien. Austria, and Germany. Follow us on this blog.
