I’ve just had 9 weeks sabbatical approved for the summer to cycle from Istanbul back to london. Current thinking is to across the top of Greece to the Adriatic, work my way up that to Slovenia, zig zag over the alps, then through Switzerland and see how long I have left for how to get back (rough sketch below). Beyond the alps I can’t say I know much about where to go/ not so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve done 2k km tours before, although never took anything for cooking and I think for this one I’m going to need to so as well any recommendations on what’s reasonably small and can pack up easy.
Also thinking about actually moving to spds for this one as I know I won’t be able to take 9 weeks of sliding around in spd sl so what’s good for them?
Anyone had any experience with Turkish airlines for bike handling? Going to pack it up well here and then fly it out with me and just don’t want to find out it’s over as soon as I get there.
Finally thinking of moving to a tailfin aeropack from a saddle bag for a little extra volume, solid waterproof and the extra stability. Anyone got any experience with them/ one they are looking to move on
Cheers all
