Cycling Sicily – A Day on Tour

June 6, 2015 by Rosemary

Biking in Sicily

Hannah Johnson writes: Cycling  Sicily and exploring this magical island as a way to spend my holidays has been a phenomenal treat. It was, to me, a cyclist’s dream trip! It was not only for the landscape, but also for the rich history and the culture that continue to flourish after all these years. Cycling Sicily is one of the best ways to fully appreciate the place – from the rugged mountains down to its azure waters. Since it was my … [Read more...]

Meandering by Cycle in Morocco

December 16, 2010 by Rosemary

A solo tour mostly around the Atlas Mountains Jill Lundmark - solo woman cyclist - 728 km (452 miles) over 64 days I was excited about going to Morocco and hoped some people would speak English. I'd felt isolated in Spain. Outside my hotel the market was going full blast. The fruit and vegetables looked superb arranged in piles, just a riot of colour. I got some bread and bananas then went looking for the tourist information. They directed me to … [Read more...]

Cycling Southern Iceland at Seventy

November 16, 2010 by Rosemary

Iceland with a gym-damaged knee Jill Lundmark cycles 589 km (366 miles) over 71 days I read everything I could find about cycling in Iceland especially the excellent notes written by Iviehoff and the tours on crazyguyonabike. I noticed at work at a secondary school I was often dressed in two layers of merino plus a jacket while the students went about bare armed so I knew the cold was going to be a challenge for me. Accordingly I packed four … [Read more...]

Solo Cycling in Cévennes, France

November 13, 2010 by Rosemary

Susan Minnich writes: I was determined that I could do this, travel solo on my bike, in France, as a 61-year-old, reasonably fit woman, with some ability to speak French. It didn’t really occur to me not to do it, though I can’t say why I was so clearly sure that all would go well. After all, I had only been to France once before, the previous year, and other than that had only been out of the US to Canada (mostly hiking trips that were … [Read more...]

October 16, 2010 by Rosemary

A meander through the Mekong Delta and a visit to Ankor Wat Intrepid solo cyclist Jill Lundmark rides 1,575 km (979 miles) over 64 days The trip starts with a nasty surprise about airline rules regarding transporting bikes After days and days of research, lists and more lists I was finally sitting uncomfortably on the plane with all my valuables strapped around me.

Karen Karen Cooper's Blog - Karen is  60 years and still riding … [Read more...]
