Route 2010
Proposal by Laura, partly based on Felt the heat!. Daniël added distances.
- Eupatoria to Ecotopia (Black Sea, Ukraine to Chernobyl to the Ecotopia (1 - 21 Augus) in Germany)
- minimal 2200 km (Sebastopol-Flaeming)
- Tallinn to Berlin (ecovillages in all baltic countries - this could be adapted depending on what country co-ordinators could be found for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus....Poland, Germany)
- Ireland to climate camp in Germany, through towards car-free cities conference in York, England! (Which is 28 June - 1 July 2010, nice timing).
- York-Flaeming is 1350 km, for that there is approx. 40 days without resting days
- Switzerland to Ecotopia (potentially through Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic). This would include countries never before ridden through on biketour! Not to mention going thru some spectacular scenery at the start of the trip in the Alps.
- Switzerland to Spain, I think we should definitely consider the climate camp in Spain! Do you have any more details? There would also be plenty of eco-villages/eco-projects/wwoof communities on this route.
- Zürch-Madrid is 1750 km.
Kms are in minimum. aim is to make max. 50 km per cycling day. And biketour does not take the most efficient route. Also, it is good to plan one resting day every 4 days of cycling.
