Currently Day 28 out of 38. These photos are mostly around the Le Havre area and a few days before and after along the coast. I’m currently camping in Versailles. Started in Amsterdam, followed the coast until Le Havre, then turned east and followed the Seine River towards Paris. My plan is to train back to Amsterdam with my bike. I live in Arizona and packing the bike for flying was a fun learning experience. But I made it happen! I’m pretty damn proud of myself. This is my first solo adventure and it’s really set the tone for the rest of my life. Many more solo days and adventures to come as I approach the golden years of middle age 💖

I’m planning a similar trip with my son. Would love to see any details of route, camping options along the way, and so on, that you feel comfortable sharing.
don’t you come to Italy?
Looks like you had a great trip! Keep in mind that Paris-Amsterdam by train with a bike can only be done with slower local trains, not with high speed trains, so make sure you have enough time.
Wow! Fantastic pictures. Amazing trip, I’m jealous. Congrats 🙂
Looks like a fun trip, correction the mural with the crab is hilarious. The rest just hadn’t loaded yet 🙂
Wow, great trip! Very cool!
i cant imagine biking in weather nice enough to let my hair down… florida girl crying over here, dont mind me. ur trip looks phenomenal and im totally jealous 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 enjoy!!!
Awesome pics (and you seem happy). I recognized some places (french here).
Hope you have enjoyed your adventure and that the weather in Normandy was OK (really beautiful area, but can be quite rainy/windy… I had a pretty rough day last summer during my Lille-Brittany bike trip 😀 )
get that bread
Solo rocks! Don’t let anyone change your mind. Look out for the lonely days, they will come, but they also go. I’m a guy, but it seems to follow a monthly cycle, 3 or 4 days of pining for a girlfriend, then about 26 days of…thank god I didn’t get a girlfriend, haha. If you know it’s coming, expect it, and laugh your way throigh it. It took me decades of solo to learn/realise this. There is nothing lonlier than a committed lifelong relationship. Solo, you can talk to whoever you want.
