2024 Epic Elbe Adventure

It's hard to believe that, in only three months' time, I will be heading back to the airport with another suitcase bulging with clothes, cycling gear and a multitude of electronic gadgets. Only 7 months ago we were heading back from Paris, after our first European rides since Covid shut the world down in 2020. Now I am about to head back for yet another crazy extended ride. Surely at my advanced age I would have finally learnt better. Obviously not.

Fortunately, at this point (I hope) most of the key planning has been completed. My flights are booked, travel insurance has been purchased, hotels booked and the itinerary has been finalised. All of my paperwork has been carefully filed in a bulging folder. I have even purchased SIM cards for using in my phone while we are traveling. What could possibly go wrong ?
