Let the Adventure Begin

About Me

Las Vegas, NV, United States
This is my 2008 grand adventure...riding a bicycle with 35 international bikers across Europe, following the Danube River along the Orent Express route through eleven countries. The ride is 4000km over 50 days of which 39 are ride days with camping and 11 are rest days in hotels. Our tour group, TourdAfrique, provides a tour leader that provides directions and transposts our luggage, a mechanic, and a chef who promises gourmet local cuisines. We start out in Paris on June 1 and travel through France to Germany, where we pick up the Danube river. We then follow the Danube through Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. Then we ride cross country through Romania, Bulgaria, and finally Turkey, where we finish in Istanbul on July 20.

April 28 Day - 15




St George, Utah, century. This was a fun century with clear sky's, moderate winds, afternoon temps of 90 deg. The course was spectacular, climbing two mountains and cruising thought picturesque farm valleys and red cliffs. My Las Vegas Valley Bike Club friend, Dave, accompanied me from beginning to the end, which made the day interesting and time flew.

Total mileage for the week was 210. I should be getting ready.
