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.

Here is Ian showing off his Sahara Desert biking outfit. He is so bright you have to wear sun glasses with him.

Hey Jim!

that's some big country out there! Great pictures! Don't burn yourself out on those hills! I hopped on my bike and did my first MI loop of the year. Not quiet 110 miles but it still felt good.

speaking of big country we stated wacking back the neighbors property this weekend to open up our backyard. We have our first trailor full of brush with about 2 or 3 more to go. It's amazing how much room is back there! I think we're doubling the size of our backyard. We'll send pictures when we have it all opened up.

Keep on rolling!
