Hi all, a bit of background. I live in Wyoming, have done multiple 4-5 day solo bike trips across the state, Montana, Yellowstone etc but I have never been to Europe. I’ve been looking at doing this route, and I’m just wondering if it’s a bad idea to get off of the eurovelo as much as I am. The detour off the eurovelo is because I’d really like to go see Mont Blanc/Chamonix, is the added detour worth it or am I going to be missing out on some really cool stuff by getting off the velo.
For context I have 15 days to do this, I do want to have time to explore. I’m a strong rider, my last trip last summer was 34,000 ft elevation across 4 1/2 days and 350 miles through Yellowstone/beartooth highway, but it was a grind. I plan on wild camping most of the time, but also carrying little stored food and no cookware.
Also tips for things to do/see/stay along the way? Thanks!
