What is the source for the routing info beneath Keith's thumbs? Looks helpful for our proposed trip in the spring.....Dodie

Dodie here-is there a special reason why you put this Blog in reverse order? By that I mean you seem to have the latest page at the top (beginning) and the older pages further down. We always put the pages in Book order, that is oldest page at the top and on down to the most recent entry at the end. Find it easier to read if one gets behind and needs to catch up on missed entries.

Bon voyage! Can't wait to see where your adventure takes us.

Great to hear you are off again. Feel envious but we are grounded at the moment by one of my orthopedic problems. Hope that by next European spring we will be off again. Porto to Lisbon is a wonderful ride

Thanks Jacquie - thanks for the tip. Will certainly consider this area based on your recommendation.

Steve here. Just seeing your photo on the Index page, and knowing that there is coming a Classens 7.0 gave me a thrill.

Have a great time! We loved our ride through Los Alcornocales Natural Park last fall. It's a big park so do try to pass through it as you cross from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. It was truly beautiful riding through the cork forest.

Yay! Another excellent journal to follow this winter! Susanna and I are looking forward to following along!

I’m so happy to hear you are going on tour again! You’ve picked a great area for it and being flexible is definitely the right thing. I look forward to following your journal!

Welcome back to Europe! Have a great trip!

Hurrah-you are trail blazing for us. We hope to go to Portugal and Spain next year so we will be following along with great interest. We leave in 3 days for England and the excitement is mounting here.
