Big Picture

The current plan is to start and finish the Rhine river ride in London. How Logical!

With Simon coming from Australia, and me from Thailand, It probably makes sense to catch up with Chris in London. It gives us a pre-ride base from which to check our gear and leave behind the unnecessary stuff.

Our current thinking is that the easiest way for 3 guys and their bikes to get from London to Basel is via Eurostar from London to Paris and then another (yet to be researched) train(s) to Basel.

From there, the ride starts, following the Rhine down along the French-German border and then through Germany to Holland (~850kms). From there, we'll leave the Rhine south of Utrecht and head up to Amsterdam (~100kms). We'll then head from Amsterdam to Hook of Holland (~100kms) to take a ferry back to Mother England and then train back to London.
