Great photos kg!

Since it's so rare for me to travel in Europe, I prefer a cycling trip that's more utilitarian and enjoyable with some benefits of scenery along the way. Cycling would be secondary, while my effort is learning and seeing up close great different culture, history, art and architecture. I would be taking too much time, trying to climb the mountain routes. And with limited vacation time, need to focus on where I want to spend time and money overseas.

Coincidentally dearie and I are planning a European trip, hopefully this fall. It would be in Beaune area of France just north of Alsace region or southeastern part of France in Beaujoulais wine country. Not as hilly as Dolomites. Then we take a high speed train with bikes to Barcelona, Spain for a few days. Back via Spain to Germany to a medieval, Rennaissance well- preserved town that neither of us have visited.

It will be my 4th trip to Europe.
