The fun of planning
Our world feels all topsy-turvy and we need a goal to focus on. A lot has changed (for everyone) in the past 2 years. Luckily we continue to be in good health although last year we both had separate episodes, months apart, of Transient Global Amnesia. Such a weird and disturbing experience, but luckily, is typically a one-off. Cause unknown but my guess would be stress induced.
At this point I'm not sure if we are inviting more stress into our lives by trying to plan a big tour. I do think it gives us something to look forward to and train for, which is a positive.
After the disappointment of a cancelled tour to Europe in 2020 and the chaos that ensued afterwards we decided our best bet for a bigger tour to actually come to fruition would be to cycle in our own country.
So now that the decision has been made - the fun part begins! Planning our route and gathering and organizing our gear.

I am sitting here reluctant to make this journal public because that makes it just that much more real. And that scares the heck out of me.

Granted some of the Google Street View images go back over a decade, but it's been a good resource for looking at conditions on routes I've considered. It also helps me to know what important intersections will look like and which path to choose.
I guess I need to get to work putting this into a trip journal outline.

Our cancelled plan in 2020 included some of northern Italy. I'm watching some videos from a couple who are travelling through the area you are going. Looks stunning.
