The route
The route that we will be cycling is 6000 kilometres. We will be using various travel guides for cyclists. These travel guides contain long distance routes, that will guide us through beautiful landscapes along quiet roads. These guides are put together and maintained by passionate cyclists with an eye for everything that is important for cyclists. Not too many hills, regular accommodation and quiet routes. Sometimes it is possible to connect these routes and sometimes we will be creating maps and steps by ourselves. The route is roughly divided into 8 parts.
