Reliving Corsica

Posted: December 26, 2017 Under: Articles By Scott Anderson no Comments

Now that we have our own website and are free to post anything we want, I’ve been going back through all of the tours Rachael and I have shared together and begun posting them here.  For some of these tours in the past I maintained a pretty decent journal; but for a number of them there are … Continue reading "Reliving Corsica"

Bilbao to Sete

Posted: September 12, 2017 Under: Europe By Scott Anderson no Comments

This was our second tour along the Pyrenees in recent years.  In 2014 we biked from Girona to Bilbao, primarily along the French side of the range.  This time we reversed ourselves, starting in Bilbao and following the Spanish side.  We finished off the tour by crossing into France, where I was flattened by food … Continue reading "Bilbao to Sete"

The French Alps

Posted: May 22, 2015 Under: Europe By Scott Anderson no Comments

Our tour of the French Alps arose from years of idle daydreaming, followed by countless iterations of refining our planned itinerary. I never really expected to take this trip, thinking that if we were going to bike this challenging landscape we should have done so when our knees were about 15 years younger. Surprisingly though … Continue reading "The French Alps"

In 2014, Rachael and I fulfilled one of our long-held dreams and biked the length of the Pyrenees, starting from Girona and ending in Bilbao.

From Nice to Lisbon

Posted: August 30, 1998 Under: Europe By Scott Anderson no Comments

We arrived in Nice slightly behind schedule, and were then further held up by a bomb scare.  All of us were ushered out of the baggage hall while a bomb-sniffing German Shephard inspected an unattended backpack.  This was interesting but also frustrating – we had hoped to reach the Nice train station in time to … Continue reading "From Nice to Lisbon"

Prague to Paris

Posted: September 09, 1996 Under: Europe By Scott Anderson no Comments

Why Prague and the Czech Republic?  They’re pretty standard stops on the tourist circuit now, but at the time it felt like pretty adventurous terrain to us – the Berlin Wall had only fallen a few years earlier when we began planning for this trip.  For whatever reason, I had developed an interest in middle Europe at … Continue reading "Prague to Paris"
