Hello everyone, 🙋🏽♂️
I am finally going to embark on a long-awaited bike journey this summer. After completing my Master's degree, I plan to visit my family in Spain and travel there by bike. Fortunately, my father will accompany me on the journey by car, driving from stage to stage and carrying most of my equipment.
I have roughly outlined the route so far. I am considering riding through Trier, Metz, Dijon, Avignon (where I will climb Mount Ventoux), riding next to the Moselle, Sâone and Rhône, Aigues-Mortes, Cadaqués, Girona, Valencia and Toledo. The route will be about 2,500–2,900 km long and I plan to ride around 900 km per week.
I have a road bike and a gravel bike. For now, I plan to use my gravel bike to give me more flexibility in choosing my route.
Do you have recommendation for my route and what bike can you recommend me ?
Thank you a lot 🫶🏻

I’d recommend riding through Alsace which is east of your section between 2 and 3. Some of the most gorgeous riding ive done in France.
What’s the point of touring if you have somebody carry all your stuff? Doesn’t make sense for the driving either – a) drive is going to be too slow and boring, b) drive from A to B and then wait for you.
Any particular reason you doing it this way?
