spandex + oatmeal: a bicycle odyssey: September 2013

The Plan

The Plan: Two months of unassisted cycling and camping through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and wherever else our legs may take us.

The Route: Starting in Brussels and flying out of Berlin are the only given at this point. We plan to cycle parts of the Flanders Cycle Route, Rhine River and the Danube River. We will also be using the EuroVelo and regional cycling routes.

Accommodation: WarmShowers website (like couchsurfing for cyclists). We are also planning on staying at campsites, backyards of friendly locals or in the wilderness.

We finished!

We finally finished our 2.5 month trip around Europe. We rode just over 2700 kilometers that you can see on the map below. We took trains in several instances to get over the more boring cycling parts but still finished with many more kilometers on bicycle. We will be looking back through our journals and updating the final blog posts in the coming weeks. Thanks to all of the wonderful people we met along the way who were kind enough to share their homes, meals, advice and experiences with us.
