Whilst my "tour" goals for 2018 are still to be finalized, with March / April potentially entailing a trip from Adelaide through to Brisbane, I'm not entirely sure where I wish to visit during the Southern Hemisphere winter.
At the moment I'm tossing up between doing:
- The Tour de Afrique Silk Road Tour
- A self-supported trip through France
- A self-supported trip from Amsterdam to Warsaw
- A self-supported Lands End to John O'Groats trip
My sneaking suspicion is that I'll ride through mainland Europe, possibly concentrating on France as a legacy to my father.... He rode with a mate through France, as a young lad, back in the late 50's, early 60's, before "touring" had reached the heights it's got to now. I loved to hear about some of his exploits and just wish he'd taken a few photos.
I think it would be a fitting tribute, given that it was him after all that got me into cycling!
