I want to take a 8-10 day Motorcycle tour somewhere in the world with great winding roads mountains ? looking to see( Edelweiss Bike Travel ) has to offer ? Loaded Question .. any great Ideas
The passes aren’t crowded at all, providing you avoid the kids school holidays. Late June and the first three weeks in July and then from the second week in Sept and it’s fine. Although I would agree with not bothering with stuff like the Stelvio, unless you really want to tick it off the list. There’s dozens and dozens of passes in the Alps, Dolomites, Vosges and Vercors, the vast majority of which aren’t busy at all. Have a look at The Route De Grande Alpes, which is a dedicated route to follow.Europe is fine. The passes are crowded with everyone and thing from bicycles to buses. There is a road around for a reason. Really early it's good. Mid day you will hate life and wish for a teleporter so you don't have to share the road with all the idiots. there is a reason all the countries are so small in Europe. Spider is right, stay away from the "classics" and enjoy the rest of Europe.
Lots of good ideas here, I'd give some thought to - what sorts of foods do you like? What will you do when not on the bike? Want to include some hiking/ sea kayaks? How polished/ fancy do you want your accommodations? And- check where you can go for cheap. No sense making the trip super expensive, if you are ambivalent as to location, then work it so you have a few bucks left for the next trip. You have internet- so some serious surfing, make it YOUR vacation.I want to take a 8-10 day Motorcycle tour somewhere in the world with great winding roads mountains ? looking to see( Edelweiss Bike Travel ) has to offer ?

Boy she's dumb as a box of rocks!! I did all my world travels as a young man. I have flown and explored more countries than the average world traveler. And I still say the USA is the best. Crater Lake, Oneonta Gorge, Prismatic Spring, Apostle Islands, Joshua Tree, and the list goes on. I still have a lot to explore here and have no desire to travel outside somewhere I need to ship my bike.Chris, I think he meant somewhere outside of the big beautiful wall.
... but your own desire is not the subject of this post, if I mayI still have a lot to explore here and have no desire to travel outside somewhere I need to ship my bike.
