 Joined: 11 Jun 2012 Posts: 3 Bike: | Having done coast to coast in 2011 and end to end last month, I'm now about to start planning next year's madness. I'm looking at getting a ferry to norther Spain, crossing the Pyrenees and then up through France with a ferry to Dover and possibly taking Route 1 from there home to Norfolk if I'm not worn out by then. I did the end to end with a mate of mine, but as his wife has just had their second, it'll be some time before he's allowed out to play again, so I need to find some other poor fool (or better yet, fools) to put up with my incessant whinging and very loud snoring for a couple of weeks. I'm happy to consider camping or B&B's or a mixture of the two and expect the trip to take approx 2 weeks at around 60 miles a day (averaging 10mph), plus travelling time at either end. I own my own business so can be flexible on dates and timings. I'm a married man with two kids, aged 49 and not an axe murderer (yet) I love my biking but also like a glass or three to unwind after a tough day in the mountains. I don't speak a word of either French or Spanish and am planning to "get by" by talking loudly and pointing. Anyone interested, just drop me a line. |

Albeit a few years older, I share several of your traits (especially the snoring) and 60 miles a day at 10mph sounds about right for my ailing knees and the extra weight I carry! One thought,though, would it be better to reverse the route, starting in the flatter north of France and travelling south to build up fitness (for those of us who need to improve it) to help ease the journey through the mountains? A friend of mine did a similar trip from north to south and said he found the climbs in the Pyrenees less of a challenge than he had feared after a couple of weeks building up his fitness on the way down. |

There were some cycling discussions and trips linked to the idea of cycling across continental Europe during 2013, including participants sharing experiences, such as cycling from Bilbao to St. Malo. However, there doesn't appear to be a direct reference to a specific event called "Continental Tour 2013" involving "Buddy or Buddies." If you're looking for Buddy Guy's tour dates or related events, such as his 2013 shows, those were held in various locations across the US. Please clarify if you're referring to a different event or need specific details regarding a particular kind of tour. |
