Thanks for posting the link. I enjoyed reading the article. It did get me thinking - and dreaming --

On the ultimate end, there's a path across the southern part of Germany that sounds awesome. Trips in Italy or Spain sound beautiful, too.

More realistically, having never really travelled by bike, starting with a few short, one-day trails right here close to home sounds nice. Seeing some historical sights at a nice, easy, enjoyable pace sounds really inviting.

Build up from there.--
