We are John and Marie from Wisconsin. Traveling has been in our blood for quite some time, first by car and now by bicycle. This site will be a log of our bicycle tour through Europe in May – September, 2007.
Our trip will begin in Budapest, Hungary and follow the Danube River through Slovakia and Austria to its source in Germany. From there we will make our way down to Lake Konstanz to pick up the Rhein River north through Germany touching Switzerland and France along the way. From there it’s on to the Netherlands and down through Belgium into France and flying out of Nice. At least that’s the plan, anyways.
We believe that traveling by bicycle is a great way to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the landscape. Sure, your muscles are in a constant state of soreness, but the slow pace of bicycle touring gives you the chance to see and experience things you would whiz right by in a car.
Our previous bicycle tours include:
The Pacific Coast from Seattle to San Francisco in 1995
Ireland in 1997
The Katy Trail in Missouri in 1999
A tour around Lake Michigan in 2000
A tour in the Lake Champlain area in 2000
Grizzlies to Gators tour (Alaska to Florida) in 2001
Ramble ‘Round the Colonies tour (New England) in 2002
New Zealand and Australia in 2004-2005
We hope you all enjoy sharing our experience through this website.
