My partner and I have been discussing going on a cycling tour in Europe in the next two years, and I wanted to see if anyone had any tips or suggestions on routes. I've only started researching, and it's getting to be a little overwhelming with all of the choices. So far, we have looked at Norway, Costa Brava in northern Spain and Via Claudia Augusta from Italy to Germany. All of these look great, and there are many, many more options.

A Spaniard once remarked to me that he was going to bike the Camino. Said it only took about two weeks.

Check out Northern France/South Switzerland. This year a stage of Tour De France will be in Lausanne Switzerland. A beautiful areas on Lake Geneva and the French Alps.

Is that the Camino de Santiago? I had forgotten about that one..it was on my list of things to do a long time ago. Thanks.

I found this for anyone else that is interested: https://www.epicroadrides.com

I've hiked the Camino, and bikers passed us every day. Looked like a blast. Invest in some good shocks though. You spend lots of time on cobblestone roads. There were a few spots where the bikers had to carry their bikes, but it wasn't much.

I'm in the PNW. I have to be in Budapest in two weeks for work. Planning a short getaway on the tail via open jaw out of Barcelona.

I just want sun. So Girona is where I'm going for a spin.

Closer to home we've done the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. That was an awesome trip.

No tour advice but Girona is better than you've heard about!

Rides to the coast are just epic! You can hit up an ez local local climb called Rocacorba (it's insane and the opposite of ez

Good times!
