Naisme.. You said you came back wanting more.. A longer tour is no different than a shorter tour, just longer.. Plan you route to suit your needs.. As Nike says, "Just Do it..." What might be the biggest time consumer. Once you've decided to just do it, do a little planning.. Like what kind of terrain will suit my degree of fitness. Like any other vacation. Are you going for the beach or the museums. Do you want to go on a group bike tour or solo.. Will it be a ride from hotel to hotel or will you camp... Will my routing involve long stretches of wilderness or will services be in close proximity. Would a group tour carry all my stuff can it all be carried in my panniers...... Is my bike ready and suitable for cycle touring....etc.
... It's no different from any other vacation, except you're means of transportation is more fun..
