So here's my crazy thinking on my bike tour in 2015. Keep in mind, I may choose not to come back to Los Angeles ever. So, Los Angeles to North Carolina via a southern route. Should take 2-3 months. Then fly with bike to Paris, France to visit friend. I don't have a desire specifically to bike France although I would do a little there, but my time there will be short. I'll visit with my friend, then go by train to the south of France near Saint Tropez to visit a little place, and then back to Paris. From there I'll either fly to Scotland or take a train. I'll take the ferries to the Shetlands and the Orkneys, bike them, then head south from the northern coast of Scotland and bike to the southern coast of England, weaving through Wales a little too. I hope to connect with some of my Youtube friends there as well as do some Breeze rides on the weekends, meeting up with other women cyclists. From London I'll fly back to the USA maybe - or perhaps I'll fly to Nova Scotia, bike that, then head south. By the time I get done with Britain it should be mid-summer, so if I go to Nova Scotia and start working my way south, I should have time to get far enough south that I miss any early winter weather. I will be heading to the Florida Keys where I will probably be wintering. Yes, I know it'll be hurricane season much of the way down Florida, but quite frankly, that's something I've always wanted to experience too. I would like to cycle Cuba. Perhaps that would be a possibility for the winter months. I'd have to fly there from Miami as there is an embargo against sea travel to Cuba.
I don't know how my bike will pack. I have to talk to my guys at I Martin Imports about it, and I'll have to figure out what that expense will be.
The biggest wildcard will be my dog. If she is still living, I will take her with me across the USA but then European stuff is out of the question for me.
