Hey!
I am planning a bike trip for one or two weeks (Saturday to Sunday for example) from Deutschland to bella Italia.
Some comments:
- Dates are still not fixed yet, August and/or September is possible for me. We can discuss it. I created a Doodle for easier planning: https://doodle.com/poll/s3i7haq7qir95a28
- Route is also not fixed. I could also think of a democratic experiment, where each member can choose on one day where to go. I would prefer not to fix the sleeping locations beforehand to be able to make spontanous route decisions. (The route on this webpage is totally irrelevant)
- Possible targets are Lago di Garda, Venice, Milano, and other nice places in the southern alps.
- You need a bike with which you can transport some things.
- It will not be a pure mountainbike tour, but your bike should be able to go on a Forststraße.
- Going with tent and/or sleeping bags would make our trip more flexible. I have some extra tents, that I could provide.
- It is possible to only join for a part of the trip, e.g. in the beginning. It could be also possible to split spontanously, if somebody wants to continue on his/her own or go on some mountain.
- I plan time for relaxation. It will not be a bike race, although you can of course do a mountain twice, if you get bored, or do some extra tours or some extra hiking. I am a regular bike rider, but not a bike racer, I like to enjoy views, etc.. I usually do not ride more than 80 km per day, sometimes much less. ;) It is also good to have rest days, especially taking into account the weather situation.
- I also like climbing. I could think of doing some climbing days (e.g. in Arco)
If you are interested to join, you can join the event. Write some comments for preference of dates or other stuff.
