WHEN YOU GO ON A BIKE TOUR, things happen. You see new things. You ride through new towns, new states, maybe new countries and continents. You travel new roads. You taste new food. You learn new habits, you appreciate new architecture, experience new reasons for new joy and new anger. You meet new acquaintances, shopkeepers, people who help in need, people who send you in the wrong direction. Or you get to know old acquaintances in new ways. Your touring partner all of a sudden appears in a totally new, before unseen light. - The weather is always a happening thing. You get soaked by the rain, burned by the sun, snowed on perhaps ? At the very least those wheels keep on spinning - unless they break down - which is quite a happening in itself. This page is dedicated to all those happenings - and others. Oldest entries are listed first. The newest entries are on Page 2. You'll find more descriptions of shorter bicycle rides in the section pass/summit cycling pages section. Trukee, California to La
Paz, Mexico : A tour through Southern California, USA and
Baja California, Mexico (2400 miles during the Fall of 1996) Athens, Greece to Bremen,
Germany : This tour starts out in the opposite direction
towards several Cycladic Islands. It continues around the
Peloponnese, and proceeds through Italy, Austria, and Germany

translated a part of this into German.
