Tours
| Short tour of the Alpes Maritimes
tour started September 2008, submitted 11 February 2012 My tour of the Alpes Maritimes was the most spectacular of all ones I've undertaken to date. Travelling in the first week of September, the weather was good and the roads empty. As expected, the food was great. Some of the overnight stays, however, could have been better. If I had it to do again, I think it could be the perfect trip. Here you will find details of the trip, maps and recommendations on where and where not to stay. |

| Short tour of southern Tuscany
tour started June 2010, submitted 30 December 2011 I undertook a short tour of southern Tuscany in June 2010, starting in Montepulciano. The page describes the four days of touring, providing maps and photographs of the area. For those wanting to combine picturesque cycling with stays in beautiful towns and great food, it is an excellent choice. I've provided some information on the hotels and restaurants I used. I would highly recommend the trip, although perhaps shortening some of the days to allow more time to explore. Route: Montepulciano - Montalcino - Massa Marittima - San Gimignano - Pisa |

| Short tour of Jotunheim Norway
tour started July 2011, submitted 4 December 2011 I undertook a short tour in Norway in the summer of 2011, beginning in Lillehammer. The page describes the four days of touring, providing maps and photographs of the area. Riding in the Jotunheimen mountain range was particularly spectacular. For those interested in great climbs which are a bit off the beaten track, this is an excellent choice. I've also provided some information on getting around and the hotels and restaurants I used. I would highly recommend the trip, although I may have felt differently had it rained |
