Hey guys!,

This coming September I will be heading out on my first bike tour! I am planning on starting the trip in Southern Portugal and traveling up that Atlantic Coast to France. From there I will then head over to England and finish my trip in Ireland! I am wondering if anyone has done this trip before and has any advice.

I also am trying to decide on which bike to get. I am looking at the Salsa Vaya, Surly Disc Trucker, Kona Sutra, and the Masi CX Comp. I am pretty sure I want to go with a bike with disc brakes, but would love to here your thoughts and recommendations for the best bike for this kind of trip.

Thank you all in advance!!!
