Iceland; land of glaciers and lava (2018)

We knew Iceland was going to be a challenge and an adventure. We had read the stories of other people and decided on a route we would like to ride. And it indeed turned out to be an adventure and a challenge. While at home and in all of Europe they were suffering through the hottest summer ever, we were in Iceland suffering through their wettest summer ever. And that while it’s not the driest destination anyway.

The adventure already started straight from leaving the house. We wanted to go to the airport by train, but part of the route was not possible due to construction. So we were taken to the first train station from where we could reach the airport without problems. From there on the train ride went fine and we arrived at the airport quickly. Continue reading

Back on the road

Summer has arrived, so time for a vacation! It was quite hard to figure out a destination, there are so many choices.

If not, the plan was to take the roadbikes and go to France. Continue reading

A week Tenerife

HotelAfter having worked for many months, we just wanted a break. Because it’s winter, most people go skiing but we decided we wanted warmth and sunshine. So, we decided to go someplace warm and sunny to finally enjoy those things we miss so much. But we didn’t just want to lay by a pool or on a beach for a week. Of course we also wanted to cycle! And Tenerife (Canary Islands, belonging to Spain) is a very good place for cyling this time of year… On Tenerife, there’s the volcano Teide, the highest mountain of Spain and a real challenge to ride. So, Tenerife it was! Continue reading
