Favorite Bike : Credit Card : 3/4 Months

With no more than your fav. bike, a healthy credit card and 3 or 4 months. How would you spend your time, where and why?

I'd take a lightweight fendered racer (PBP rig) with a small handlebar bag...candybar bag and a Riv. Baggins Hoss....maybe that's too much. Hmmm.

Start in Portugal -> Spain...looking for a good tomato fight and a paeilla contest -> France -> Italy...where I'd have a goal to gain 20 lbs -> slow boat to Greece...learn to dance -> Home.

I'd never get out of Spain though....I am convinced that it is the true center of western civilisation....

2 weeks in Colorado; 2 weeks in the Canadian Rockies; 2 weeks in Tuscany; 2 weeks in Majorca; 2 weeks in the Dolmites; 2 weeks in the Italian Alps; 4 weeks in Israel.

Why? Great food, great rides and (hoepfully) great weather!

Learn to dance? You're quite ambitious, ain't ya, TT?

but let's start small and get across the states first. Hotel it everynight, a good camera, some clean clothes.

[Fixed]

bro I will never get there but holland ... and maybe scotland .ireland cheers

[Kevan]

say, "Never."

There's the famous Land's End to John O'Groats ride, but rain and wind, and plenty of both, is a certainty.

Kev, JOG is a miserable f'in ride...you'd do it just because it was on the "list" just after the twins.
Catulle - rent a movieL Zorba The Greek and you'll understand.

I'm thinking....starting in northern Germany and heading north. Denmark, Norway, riding in the midnight sun...chase the reindeer.

You´re the better man, TT. I wouldn´t even try.

I'd like to do some rides such as Ride Across Virginia, RAGBRAI, and some charity centuries. Then I would go visit and ride with some members of the forum that I have met and some that I have not met. I could see myself going from one state to the next. Riding with and sharing time with Serotta members (and viewers) would be a wonderful experience.

There you go, making everyone else's response look shallow and self-centered! What are we going to do with you? I think I'll leave it up to Kevan.

I could do it. I am a teacher. So summer's off mean that this hopefully will be my destiny. Since I spent my youth in Kentucky...the interesting years from 15 - 21....I would opt to return there. Tour the backroads, enjoy the culture take a sentimental journey.

somebody hook the doof up with a luigino...then off to VA to ride with TT in the Blue Ridge...then up to Chester to ride with that guy...then up to Boston to ride with jerk, fstrthnu, climb, munson, and the drunk...if he's actually from boston...then over to normandy...which wouldn't be as fun, cause doof barely speaks the language and it would better to meet serotta board nuts than go and ride with a bunch of cats who are calling you a-hole in a tongue you barely comprehend....

Great daydream, Too Tall. Give me a steel or titanium bike with a steel fork, long-legged in the stays with room for Ruffy Tuffys and a smallish bag (Concours Rapid Tour? Kirk MRB? Tournesol?). Just enough good wool cycle clothing to rinse, ride, and repeat. A small digital camera. I'd like to go north through Europe (Italy to Holland?) with lots of art history stops. I'd also like to visit my college roommate and his wife in Beijing and experience China the ideal way... by bike.
