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.

May 21 Day 9 Flagstaff to Holbrook AZ







A few pics from the day's ride: Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona (from hit Eagles song); watching a 100 car Army troop taking equipment to the port; the Wigwam Motel, where my sister and I spent the night in the '50s.

Your photos are a walk down memory lane - I only imagined we stayed at a Wigwam motel; don't remember. However, you are my big brother, so you should have exquisite knowledge of the details! Love the photos and the blog; truly enjoy riding along with you on your epic journey!
