Cycling/Touring companion

(1/3) > >>

Pilar:
Hello, I live in SW Missouri, but am very interested in foreign touring.  I have a classic Bruce Gordan with panniers.  Contact me if you are searching for a travel companion. Starting locally would be great.....

Westinghouse:
I have done quite a lot of bicycle touring in foreign countries. Where do you want to go?

Pilar:
Along the Duro in Portugal or maybe the Camino de Santiago?  Any experience with that part of the world? 

Westinghouse:
I'm not actually looking for a cycling companion now. I was just wondering where you were going. There's something about cycling in Portugal in the book, "Miles From Nowhere" by Barbara Savage.  I have cycle toured extensively in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union. Why would you want to cycle that particular corner of the globe?

Pilar:
I've read that book - their travels seemed almost painful at time and I got the impression (or maybe it was just the book) it wasn't a feel-good trip for either of them.  Portugal - why not?  You have to start somewhere.
