We live in the Blue Mountains near Sydney Australia and both keen cyclists. We have done some long rides before (Sydney to the Gold Coast 1000km and Adelaide to Melbourne 1100km) and we were keen to go further afield. So with some long service leave and leave without pay we committed ourselves to a trip in May-July 2008 by booking airfares in January 2008.
At that stage we were thinking of taking our Raceline mountainbikes with us to Berlin (because we hadn't been there before) and riding to Milan over the Alps taking about 3 weeks. Tania has a Romanian heritage (mine's Latvian) with relatives in Milan who we would meet up with. Our son Ben and his grandma would meet us in Milan as well and fly with us to Romania to meet up with further relatives. We are going to leave our bikes with cousins in Milan.
After Romania, we fly on to Paris for 5 nights and then onto Vancouver and Whistler for a week of some serious downhilling which Ben in particular is really looking forward to.
