It's taken a little longer than normal for me to settle on my plans for 2026.
I've been quite unwell since returning from Corsica and Portugal/Spain this year, so I decided to use the time wisely and plan for my big trip next year. I have a lot of options on my long list but settled on this trip to allow me to get back into full touring cycling mode after my road cycling and hiking adventures this year.
I'll be taking seven weeks leave from work to travel to Brussels and then head south towards Switzerland, eventually heading east towards Hungary. I hope to pick up some of the Eurovelo routes and complete a portion of the Danube. My rough itinerary is linked in the tab at the top of this blog. I've started to do a rough map (subject to change) in Velo Planner, which I've snapped below.
I hope to be able to catch up with friends along the way and explore some areas I've not seen before. There are some sections I have already travelled but not for many years, so I'm sure they will feel new again.
Now to decide which bike to take???
