• Some positive trailbuilding news from Florida…

  
  — Authority:
  It’s fairly rare that anything positive in terms of bicycle-infrastructure news comes out of Florida, but here’s something pretty big: lawmakers have approved $50 million to create the Coast To Coast Connector: The Pinellas Trail could become the first leg in a 275-mile bike and walking path stretching from St. ...

• Youth Art And The Young At Heart

  
  — Authority:
  1575 km so far. We had a slow morning this morning, visiting Ljubljana’s daily market for some fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh pasta, and snapping a few more photos of the plentiful graffiti in Ljubljana. We also made a quick coffee stop at Cacao. We had the most delicious pistachio cake there last night ...

• Day Tripper

  
  — Authority:
  1500 km so far. We are loving Ljubljana so much, we decided to spend one more night; we are not yet tired of great beer and great food. We don’t really go in for churches and museums, however, so we decided to take a day trip to Velika Planina, a plateau-ish area 1600 m up in The Alps, which, it turns out, are only ...

• Italy vs Croatia: International Smackdown

  
  — Authority:
  It’s probably a terrible idea to compare countries, especially ones in which we’ve only scratched the surface. Our Italian friends will protest, our Croatian friends will groan. Even so, we decided it would be fun and helpful to other travellers if we highlighted the best and worst of each country by comparing it ...

• Beer, Yoga, Namaste: What A Great Day

  
  — Authority:
  1435 km so far. We have discovered that hardly anybody we know knows anything about Ljubljana. We love this city! It’s the first place we’ve felt we could stay for a while; our first impressions have been great. For a start, there is great coffee at Cafetino, great beer by Human Fish Brewery, and great food at ...

• Sometimes Things Just Work Out

  
  — Authority:
  1352 km so far. Not every day is full of surprises like yesterday was. Sometimes, things just go according to plan. This morning we got up bright and early and availed ourselves of the included breakfast at Hotel Kovac. It was a continental buffet, with tasty tiny turnovers, yogurt, fruit, good coffee, and even ...

• Life Is Not Always As You Expect

  
  — Authority:
  1282 km so far. Some days you just don’t know what is going to happen, and sometimes those turn out to be the best days. Despite a difficult start, today was one of those. We were expecting a nice lazy ride along the Kolpa river valley. The Kolpa river is 113 km long and forms part of the southern border between ...

• The Magic Roads of Slovenia

  
  — Authority:
  1170 km so far. We started the morning in Generalski Stol, which incidentally may be the best town name ever. Our incredibly generous host had breakfast all ready for us, even though we’d thought he’d said “No breakfast” the night before when we’d negotiated a lower rate for the room. Since we’d already ...

• The Signs Of War

  
  — Authority:
  1050 km so far. We rose in our shepherd’s field camping spot this morning bright and early, not wanting to be trod upon by unsuspecting sheep as they returned to graze. We stopped a few kilometres down the road for pancakes at the American Squirrel Restaurant (or something like that). They also had goat, but it ...

• A Day In The Life Of A Bicycle Traveler – Episode 2: South African Karoo

  
  — Authority:
  While the basic schedule of any bicycle tour is pretty much the same (wake up, ride your bike and then go to sleep), the day to day activities behind any bicycle tour can vary greatly depending on the individual, the location of the tour, the weather conditions and a number of other factors. I frequently get asked, ...

• Sea To Sky

  
  — Authority:
  Whew, what a day. It feels like we fit a week’s worth of sites and interesting encounters into today. And we also managed to ride 74 km, much of which was uphill. To keep this post short(ish), I’m going to tell the story mostly in pictures. Design Matters We left the incredibly cool Hostel Forum Zadar this morning ...

• Zadar In The Rain

  
  — Authority:
  When we were in Trogir I managed to one-up Jane’s burning holes in the tent episode by tripping on the guy wire and ripping the fly along the seam. I was pretty pissed off with myself, pretty upset that our Big Agnes tent would tear so easily, and very happy Jane had damaged the tent first. A Stitch In Time Last ...

• Smooth Sailing on a Windy Day

  
  — Authority:
  Today was the kind of day that makes us really appreciate how lucky we’ve been with the weather, and especially the wind, so far. The morning started slowly, with a little extra sleep, some meditation, and breakfast. There was a good-sized gap between the floating pier I’m sitting on in the pictures and the land. ...

• Our Fastest Ride So Far

  
  — Authority:
  Today we rode from Makarska, up the coast and around the outskirts of Split on our way to Trogir, a UNESCO city where we had heard there was an excellent (and open) campground. It was a long day. Ninety kilometres in total. Phew. It gives us a new appreciation for the people who ride a century a day (that’s 100 ...

• Another Day Off Already

  
  — Authority:
  Seems like we’ve been having more days off than on lately. But with a massive rain and thunderstorm forecast for overnight and today, Stephen wisely convinced me to get indoors and take the day off. The rain pounded down last night so hard that I imagined it would have mashed our tent into the ground had we been ...
