Our means of transportation for the next 3 months

After finally arranging our accommodations for Dublin I felt the need to hop on the blog and share pictures of our bikes and our two pet rats that will be missed greatly. I will be riding my mom's old Univega that she's had since the 80s (apparently I rode in it with her as a child) and Trev is riding a bike dubbed 'Spirit' that he built while we were in Montana at a shop called Free Cycles (I did the custom painting to give it some life). Unfortunately, our cycles are all boxed up and broken down for the flight, so no more joy rides before our departure. See you next time...IN DUBLIN!

Count down: 1 day!



My sweet ride.

Traveling on two wheels

My boyfriend, Trevor, and I are touring Europe on our bicycles this fall/winter and dedicated this blog to our travels. Keeping family and friends updated or maybe some reading material for whomever happens to come across our blog. Our travels start in Dublin, Ireland then we ferry over to Glasgow, Scotland and trek down the international bike trail that leads us to London. We chunnel to Paris, train over to our good friend Jo in Germany and go back on the bikes to tour through beautiful Italy, the South of France and down into Spain. Then we hop up to Paris where we'll take the chunnel back to London and say 'bye bye' to Europe. The Google map to the ←left will serve as a 'play-by-play' way of tracking us while we're exploring Europe. It's just us, our two bikes and a whole new world to venture into! Count down: 6 days!!
