I recently got back from my third cycling vacation in Europe. I am a *huge* fan of these cycling vacations and wanted to write a brief guide for how to plan your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

What type of cycling trip is this? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The trips involve cycling from one city to the next via dedicated cycle paths and then spending the night at a hotel in each town. The cycle paths in Europe are designed to be extremely scenic. They pass through orchards, forests, rivers, and impossibly tiny, beautiful towns. And, because it’s Europe, these villages have delicious bakeries and high-quality cafes to enjoy along the way. These trips feel very fulfilling (like a backpacking trip), except you get Michelin-star meals instead of freeze dried food at the end of the day. If you have a loved one on such journeys, consider adding an extra touch of warmth and have thinking of you cookies delivered<\/a> to brighten their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
