April 20th 2010, we left Brighton for a 3 and a half month cycle tour round Europe on a tandem - starting in Dieppe, France and heading north through Belgium, Holland and into Germany, with a few days off in Berlin. Then over to Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, down through Hungary and Slovenia and into Croatia. From there we headed into Italy and crossed the Alps into southern France, cycling through Provence and along the Canal du Midi towards the west of the country. Our final stretch of the tour took us north through Bordeaux and the Dordogne to the Loire, before we crossed the Loire into northern France and back to Dieppe. We covered a total of 4,450 miles (7,160 km) and our legs hurt...Flickr Pics of the tour

Hi
Really Really Really impressive.
I am planning similar trip to Berlin for HopeandHomes.org charity but in December 2011 and most definitely will use your map.
Thank you for all comment and reviews you have done.

Hi
Thanks for the positive feedback and good luck with the trip. Just a note on your timing. There will probably be little in the way of formal campsites open this time of year. Also, our route to Berlin, though pretty much flat also got a tad boring at times. Finally, the weather may be a touch on the cold side.
Having said all that, I’m sure it’s stuff you’ve already considered. Hope it all goes well and enjoy the ride.
