Europe would be wonderful. I would like to tour Germany or France or Italy but what I really would like to do if ride along the East Coast, staying in quaint Inns, crossing over covered bridges. Maybe something like Maine, or Up state NY, Vermont or West Virginia. Heck, I would just like two weeks off to ride!

If you could do a 2 week bike tour...

all expenses paid, time is granted off... where would you go? You only get to pick one place so you can't say a week in this country and then a week in another...
OK big dreamers... where are we off to?
For me... Italy. 2 weeks touring Italy... someday... someday...

That's a tough one. Probably Italy, but Scandinavia and Switzerland also appeal to me....

It has to be just one? I love history, the Lewis and Clark trail, the new Adventure Cycling Underground Railroad Route probably top my list, of course Tuscany, Southern Norway with my sister and her family, Loire Valley and or South of France, hilly but .... the Alps and Geneva to visit my cousin in Geneva and then maybe down to Italy....

I would do the Camino de Santiago by bike (across Northern Spain). I have already done this journey once on foot, and wouldn't mind a repeat that didn't take 30 days...

Most definitely...
One couple days' worth in England to pay respects to my heritage....then the rest o' the time in France....of course, in July.

That's a tough one! As crazycanuck mentioned in her post, I'd love to cycle across Canada. There is a organized tour http://www.tourducanada.com/Intro.html that is a nine week tour across. Riders cycle 7,700 kilometres (4600 miles)through all 10 Canadian provinces each summer. I'd love to do that one.
But ultimately, riding in Italy and France would be dream vacations. I'd like to climb the Alpe d'Huez and conquer the Ventoux!!!

I'd need more than two weeks - more like two months! But if I could do my dream cycling trip of a lifetime, I would do as Denise G. did and ride my bike with all my gear from the west coast to the east coast of the good ol' USA. Could happen one of these years........

Tell me about it! The oldest pub in my area dates from 1725 (or something - I'm gonna have to remember to check next time I go past), and that's nothing for London! It's something I don't think I would ever get used to.

A several-week bike tour of Tuscany with Butterfield and Robinson. Not everybody's choice of a bike tour but one that really appeals to me. Just take a look at this:

Thanks for asking. Great question and some great responses here. It's fun to read them all.
