The big PLAN

Two years ago I had a few longer rides (more days) in the country. I will write about these rides in the future. This year I want to continue this and take it to another level. It's one of my dreams to leave the country on the bike. Cyclotourism is a very interesting hobby, I like to do it but slightly differently. I like to travel with a small backpack and I sleep in hotels or at friends. I like to go with my road bike, but if the road is bad I use my mtb.

This year I would like to visit Pecs. Pecs is the European cultural capital in 2010. I would like to spend a day in Hajduszoboszlo (were there is a big aqua park) to, but I'm not sure i can fit this stop into my schedule. I've made two preliminary plans of this trip, the first 1014km and with a train ride at the end and another which is 1247km and with no rest day in Hajduszoboszlo. If I can do more kilometers each day maybe I can squeeze in a second rest day in the second version or I will ask for an extra day off from work because I would like to ride 1250 kilometers and enjoy some time off at the aqua park :D

  1. Why not bike a little further and visit us in The Netherlands? We're a great nation in fietsen, as you know ;)
    Though this already sounds as a great plan!

  2. Sounds like a plan, maybe next year or in the summer vacation ;)
