I just got back from 3 months on the road too (Victoria, BC to St. John's, NFLD along the provincial capitals). I guess this is about the time everyone wraps up eh? Welcome back all! Man I love touring!

It's nice to hear that you had a good cycling summer. I also had success with my own tour. In June I did my first solo ride from Switzerland to Sweden. It took four weeks and I had the best time of my life. I'm looking forward to reading travelogues and seeing photos from other cyclists. I've posted my own travelogue (http://blog.schwiiz.org/2006/07/bike-tour-2006.html) of the trip, some photos (http://photos.burntlands.org/index.php?folder=/2006/200606-BikeTour/) and a Google bike map (http://www.schwiiz.org/bikemap/). I'm now looking forward to some shorter tours in the fall. Cheers, chris

Three months for me, too! Still can't believe it. Just the regular old trans-am, but what an amazing experience. Journal here: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/circumtrektion

Ha. Every now and then I look at the crazyguy site and just about everytime I ended up looking at your journal. Nice job.

Congrats to all that toured over the summer. Post more links. I can't get enough of them. :) My turn is coming...summer 2007. Can't wait. :D

Thanks! I'm still adding text. It was tough to keep updated from the road. Try this one if you want some really well-written reflections on episodes encountered by one European along the Trans Am: http://www.lesontheroad.blogspot.com/
