Dream of Cycling International Trails
Experience France by Bike
I devour bike trail guides like most people read fiction novels. Trail guides are my way of living vicariously through the writing of others. I’ve had the good fortune of traveling all over the United States riding bike trails and traveling all over the rest of the world leading student tours. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet been able to combine those two and ride the great international trails like the ones found throughout Europe.
French Canal Trail Makes Great Bike Ride
So it is with great pleasure that I introduce an incredible bike guide by Maggie LaCoste of Experience France by Bike. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, Maggie’s bicycle blog is excellent and a must for those who enjoy active traveling. Now Maggie has published the first in a series of bicycle touring guides that will highlight the best bike routes in France. What I like best about Maggie’s guides is that they’re well written and easy to follow and, most important, they are extremely valuable for the rest of us. By “the rest of us,” I mean those of us who enjoy biking as a way of experiencing the splendors of the destination. In other words, the guides are for those who are as much into traveling, site-seeing and local culture as we are into bicycling.
From Blois to Chateau de Chambord
Maggie’s premier bicycle touring guidebook is entitled A Weekend Trip from Blois to Chateau de Chambord and makes a great read for those who plan to do enjoy a bike vacation in France or even those who just love to dream of enjoying a bike vacation in France. The guidebook is not at all expensive, but it makes great reading and provides invaluable reading material for European bicycle tourists. The book can be purchased as a PDF publication or as an e-book for Kindle, iPad or Nook. I hope you decide to read Maggie’s wonderful bicycle guide so we can have an online discussion about it. Please feel free to contribute comments here on the Trailsnet blog once you have started reading the guide. I look forward to your feedback.
