Hi there! Many thanks for the comment. Yeah…winter was tough…keep thinking about finishing the second leg…maybe in 2011? But spring/summer for course. Glad to hear that people are still finding my blog and reading it! Thanks again for getting in touch, I really appreciate it!

Hi Vinko,

Not too much to add to the above comments except to say that most cycle tourists will want to give in at some point on a tour. It’s happened to me and it will probably happen to you again.

Winter’s a terrible time to tour. Short days, cold winds, rain, people in low spirits, there’s very little to inspire travel. Choose a better season and you’ll probably fare much better.

For what it’s worth, I enjoyed your blog and I respect your honesty in the final post. All the best for your future travels.

Really like the layout and navigation of the blog, nice color scheme and well put together.
other sites are just way too cluttered with adverts

Hey Vinko,

Glad to see you are ok. As others have said, don’t worry a jot about what people think, you rode under your own steam to Rome!! I know people who won’t ride at all, let alone to the end of their street – you went as far as circumstances allowed – this time.

Inspired by you (and others) I am riding round Holland for 10 days in May. Watch my blog for a laugh at my ineptitude at touring – which will show you just how much experience you have gained.

All the best,

Paul

It was your tour, and you had the right to make it what you wanted it to be, and change when you wanted to change. I would have swapped my cubicle in New Jersey with you, but right now I can only ride vicariously through you. Your readers didn’t pay you, we have no expectation except to read your posts of the ride. I enjoyed your posts, and read most of them.

Don’t be down on yourself, or embarrassed. You did something you should be proud of, and I for one respect what you did, even it was “only down the road”. My longest trip has been 5 days, sleeping in bed and breakfasts every night. Chin up, be proud. I look forward to your next planned or unplanned adventure.

Still quite an achievement though, and no doubt you’ve learnt some useful lessons to put towards another attempt.

A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, and all that…!

Good luck for the next attempt!
