First 'Tour'

[shootingstar]

Great deeiamond! Once bitten by touring, it won't quite leave you alone. Keeps on nagging me..to do a little trip by myself for a few days by bike. My partner and I have done a number of our own little bike trips ranging from weekend to 3 wks. 'Course he's done alot of solo bike touring.

We started off camping first few years, but thereafter it just was more comfortable going to places with a real bed.

Maybe one day I can plumb you for advice on your area of the world. I haven't even been to Asia yet.

If you scroll down the page of this link, 2 of the women in the photo, have each done solo, loaded bike touring. Woman in middle biked in the United Kingdom (and I think France or Netherlands) and Iles de Magdelene off the coast of eastern Canada. These islands belong to France, not to Canada. They both did their own self-loaded bike trip together in the Canadian Rockies.

Woman in orange did 5 days solo on her Bike Friday in Quebec on Velo Quebec routes. She loved it and wants to try a different route again soon. (She was a bike courier just after university for a year. She must have been one of the very rare female bike couriers in Toronto of Asian descent at that time..nearly 30 yrs. ago.)
