Hello forumhumans,
I need some help. I've only managed a total of 5 days holiday all year (not counting weekends) and need to get away somewhere to clear the mind and use up some holiday. I also need an excuse to get fit (not be so fat), so something fairly challenging is a must.
Last year I rode from Napoli to Torino through the Apennines (approx 900 miles in 12 days), few years before that I rode through the Atlas mountains (appox 1200 miles in 16 days). Looking for something similarly adventurous/challenging.
must include:
- mid October (not so much 'include', but more 'be in')
- somewhere warmish (thinking Turkey, Southern Italy, Southern Spain etc.)
- lots of mountains (need to get less fat)
- an interesting route (a to b style route, probably around 1000 miles through a varied terrain)
- roughly 12-15 days
- wild camping/ cooking
- suitable for solo (ie. not somewhere too dangerous)
- off-road or semi off-road (either on an old pace rc200 or on an even older kona)
- need physical maps
Thanks!
