i am biking the willamette valley bikeway in a week and i need some major advice on places to sleep. the campgrounds are not so strategically placed to help break up the ride in a conveniant manner. if i have to bike 100 miles in a day i can do it, but i would prefer not to. in that case, do you know of any good (dry) places to sleep along the route that i am missing or possibly some good places for guerilla camping. guerilla camping might get tricky if i have to set up my small tent to stay dry. but i can manage. i guess i am just getting nervous because i leave soon and i still don't know where i will sleep or whether or not to bring my tent. PLEASE send me any advice you have, i will be eternally grateful.

I just need some information in regards to long distance rides. I just bought some panniers and am going to do my first long distance ride in a few weeks. I am going to go From Brisbane CBD to Noosa.

I just need some general suggestions on how to make my ride more comfortable and safe. I also would like it if anyone could suggest a good route to take.

I have got some gloves, bike clothers, water bottles, carry bags, pump and tire tubes, food... What else should I take?

any information at all in regards to long bike rides would be much appreciated. I am going solo and don't know any other bikers who can help me out!

Thanks everyone

Is there any decent, relatively low traffic, low bear routes from Anchorage, AK, and Seattle, WA?

I recently moved to the northwest suburbs of Chicago (Des Plaines area), having taken a job with Motorola. I am looking for a good route for a daily ~30 mile route. I know its almost winter, but Ive been stuck inside riding on my trainer since I moved here a couple months ago.

I ride a road bike, and I like to keep a decent average speed (~25 mph). I was spoiled where I lived last, having a nice bike trail that passed very near my residence. I recently began riding along roads, but again, I was spoiled with massive shoulders on the sides of the roads, and the lack of them here, along with the density of traffic makes me pretty nervous to ride them here.

To summarize, Im looked for a paved, ~30 mile loop around Motorola in Schaumburg, or somewhere near Des Plaines.

Let me know if such a place exists.

Thanks,

After many years of active cycling in my teens and early 20's, I had to give up the saddle because my wrists and neck simply couldn't take the stress anymore. But last year my girlfriend found a fairly nice used recumbent for only $200 USD and I was suddenly able to start riding again. Now I'm commuting to work almost every day by bike, I just turned 38 and I'm getting the itch to plan a long-distance cycling tour for the two of us. (or with a group would be fine too)

I've always wanted to go to Greece, so that was my first thought, something along the southern mainland, then hop a ferry out to Santorini, and then maybe on to Crete, or maybe the other way around... starting in Crete, then Santorini, then a couple of days on foot in Athens, then find something along the coast. Does anybody out there have any suggestions for this wanderlust wanting to see world from his comfy mesh seat?

I've been trying to research cycling in Greece, and I've gotten everything from "it's awesome" to "you'll surely die if you try to ride a bike here... if the motorists don't kill you, the dogs definitely will". What is it really like? Has anybody else here actually done the island-hopping cycle-and-ferry type trip? If you only get one chance in you life to visit Greece, what are the absolute must-visit places (Santorini is currently pretty high on my list).

If I were to describe a dream tour for us, it would be the kind of tour that involves 30-50miles per day along scenic routes, hopefully hopping from one little town to the next, staying in family run bed-and-breakfast type establishments as we go. And when we get to a place we really like, we might stay for a couple of days to see the sights and/or relax before moving on. I understand that in reality we probably won't find a trip exactly like that, but I hope it paints a picture of what we're looking for. We're not interested in hard-core training, mountain climbing or wicked-fast descents. And while we'll both be capable of dealing with hilly terrain, we don't want that to be the focus of the trip.

Any help/advice is greaty appreciated. Thank you all.

The map from San Diego rideshare marks the portion of I-5 that I seem to have to use as bike-friendly, however I may be uncomfortable riding my bike on the expressway. Does anyone have any comments on this bit of express that I would have to ride on? From the map it actually looks like I would be on the on/off ramps as much as on the expressway. Is there another way to cross this area? (Tower road does not seem to be an option as it is gated and controlled by General Atomics). Looking at satellite images in Google Maps it looks like there are a few dirt paths in this area, however they too may be controlled by private businesses.

Besides that area, I am curious about the ascent back up Sorrento Valley Blvd. I am from Chicago and it is almost nearly flat. It's not that I have no experience on hills, just not regularly. So how is this ascent?

Thanks for any input!]]> http://www.bikely.com/forum/discussion/4006/ http://www.bikely.com/forum/discussion/4006/ Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:41:25 +0000 bamboobike Any other suggestions for easy (not to hilly) routes in Spain or south of France?

I'm looking at taking the girlfriend to Holland for a few days in September. I cycle a fair bit (about 100 miles per week) but she is really new to all this, and so we will only be doing about 35 miles per day. we're taking panniers etc and will be looking to stay at variou B&Bs en route. The idea is to find some nice routes from the Hoek to Amsterdam and maybe a little further..as I'm not sure on timing/distance etc.
Any advice would be Fab!

Thanks

The real STP takes the direct route on 507, but what do you think about taking the Foothills trail south and then cutting over to Yelm?

I know it's a bit cheeky asking for a route when I'm a newbie and haven't posted any of my own, but I wondered if anyone had put together a route of the London Marathon? Some friends and I would love to cycle the route, but would probably get lost in Blackheath!

I am looking at bringing a group of cyclers to Victoria, BC in September and would like to know of a couple decent routes of 40 - 50 kms each.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
