Dreams about the NFBC European Tour

I have been dreaming up a wonderful three week long tour around Europe that will be accomplished with several modes of transportation, including biking and trains. As has been discussed previously within the NFBC (New Friends Bike Club), we would all enjoy taking a trip to Germany to bike for a while. well, i was thinking that this dream European Tour could start off with a stop in Austria, then a train ride up to Bremen in northern Germany, where we would do a five day bike tour. after enjoying N. Germany we would all hop on a train to Paris, France, where we really wouldn't bike, but I'm not going to Europe without spending at least a day in Paris! we would continue on train to the French Pyrenees. These mountains are renowned for some great rides and have been biked many times throughout the Tour de France. i have read about some great houses in the mountains that have been modified into really nice hotels. from one of these hotels we could do numerous different day trips of varying difficulty. if we are in the mood for some really challenging rides we could tackle some of the famous Tour de France peaks.

Tour Destinations:

Austria: 2-4 Days
Melk
Salzburg
Vienna
Germany: 5-6 Days
Munich ?
Bremen and surrounding area
France: 5-6 Days
Paris
Pyrenees Mountains



A trip of such magnificence would most likely take place in the summer after i graduate from St. John's Prep. This would allow the participants ample time to save up enough money for ticket, housing, transportation, and food costs...as well as a brand new carbon fiber bike to propel us up the mountains. This would be the summer of 2011.
