Awesome Roger! Amazing places to vist :) Enjoy

I met a fellow on a world tour while touring and his two favourite countries were Georgia and Japan(#1). I had the opportunity to host him for a couple of days when he cycled across Canada. I have heard a lot of really positive things about the people of Iran and I also have had the luck to host someone from Iran. My two favourite countries to cycle tour and at the opposite ends of the Earth are New Zealand and Iceland. I have yet to find a place I didn't like (and I include the United States in that number though there are more hostile vehicle drivers), my really favourite place is in my own backyard of here in British Columbia, Canada.

Thanks a lot Eric and Maudy, very informatif sharing and great experience.

You both have just put a smile on my face, well done and thank you for sharing

in europe you had an amazing adventure in italy. in middle east georgia and persia in far east japan ...yea evey were in this planet is beautiful with amazing lovely simple people.

Tandem cycling is one of the most amazing inclusive sports activity. Being a sports and travel enthusiast with visual impairment, I would like to work to develop/improve inclusive sports and accessible tourism in India. It would be so great if I could talk to you and hear from you

As a very experienced touring cyclist, I agree that Georgia is the most amazing country to cycle. The reasons: Extreme and variant landscape, friendly people, countless amazing roads with almost zero cars, Low cost accommodations & restaurants and a big variety of fruits, vegetables & nuts, wines and vodka form grapes (chacha) on markets.. I recommend cycling Georgia at least one month for the first time there, if not 2 months. I personally cycled there along the last several years - 5-6 months. It's worth any minute, I spent there. Georgia is a pure wild primeval original country and culture, the western lifestyle didn't destroy yet. About Turkey: Everything Maudi said is correct. The main problem: Turkey is too giant for cycling, and the distances are not for cycling. Not because of the length, but because it's too boring cycling the same landscape for 2 weeks and then changing to another landscape for another2 weeks. N/B Turkey has one of the best cuisine on this planet. Far better than any country in Europe. In Georgia, the variety of basic agricultural products on the markets is also huge, but the Georgian kitchen is on the weak side....

I always ride in Georgia in Autumn (mid September till mid November). June is also reasonable time for cycling. Summer time is not appropriate for cycling, because it's very hot everywhere bellow 1000 meter, And very humid near the Black sea.

Argentina - cycle fromPatagonia to Tierra del Fuego

You two could probably pull off a visit to Russia. A tran-siberian would be difficult that is for sure. It is so distant and so many weather zones. The eastern half would require at least one summer and a little more. Getting supplies would be another area of concern. The USA would look easy by comparison.

Hahahaha, die "bloopers".... Eric zei het laatst al, het valt niet mee het zomaar zonder struikelen te vertellen. Je hebt eigenlijk een goede autocue nodig! Prachtige footage die volgens mij nog niet langs is gekomen en opvallend (of toch misschien ook niet zo erg) vind ik dat jullie Turkije en Iran benoemen! Ik heb samen met Yvonne zelf ervaring met Turkije waar je van de bijzondere gastvrijheid onder het "gewone" Turkse volk geniet en verder hoor ik eigenlijk alleen maar goede dingen over Turkije en zeker ook Iran.. Jammer dat de wereld bedolven is onder politiek gekonkel, maar het doet niets af aan de vriendelijke mentaliteit van de mensen daar!! Mooie video luitjes!!! Dit moet zeker liefhebbers inspireren! More! more! hihihihi... Kees

But I’m going to start my journies much closer to home for now. I’m slowly catching up to the present with your vids and enjoying every second 🫶🏻
