Jeeves wants a sore rear end in exotic lands

Post by wlu_lax6 »

So my son and I are thinking of exercising his language skills after rowing season this summer. Current thought is bike trip in Europe. Constraints are has to be between 8/5 and 8/14 (Canadian Henley Regatta and first day of school). Anyone got ideas, know someone, etc. Thinking Spain or Portugal or maybe Netherlands/Belgium. Looked at Trek Travel and Backroads. Hoping to see some stuff and not just pedal in pretty mountain roads for this one.

I have a buddy who used to run a restaurant in the Asturias region of Spain. He's now running a couple restaurants on Mallorca.

I can ask him for any info he might have.

He basically said some of the professional cyclists tackle the Asturias and Mallorca as they’re considered prime cycling destinations. Apparently one of the world’s top cyclists trains on Mallorca. YMMV.
