What a welcome sleep in a quiet dry hotel room. We had a leisurely breakfast and cleaned the bike. I am ready to go tomorrow when we go through the Black Forrest and spend the night at the head waters of the Danube. After that, we are 1400 km on the Danube bike trail.

About Me
- Jim
- 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.

Love the news. Am surprised it is so rainy, foggy and cold. I guess that is just a typical northern European summer. Stay dry and safe!

First floor of the house is framed!
Keep on rolling! J,D,N,R
Hi Jim,
Sounds like one hell of a ride. Hopefully the rain will subside. Give those snails the right of way.
Cheers,
Frank Steffey
