Route suntrip

Hi,

I spoke with 2 guys during meeting in Belgium. There I found out that they do have the same understanding like me: More or less there is only one route with make sens. This route is strongly considering the bee line (closest possible track). Because of this we can work here together to figure out a track. Also we can make pitstop places for all which is strongly needed from my understanding. Sparepart are a must because we need to change for example tires, chain,...

Who is interesting to work on a track?

I will start in the next 2 weeks to build my track. I will open it here later.

Best regards Juergen

Hi,

I made a first track. It is using the fairy over the lake from Thonon to Lausanne. Is this okay with the rules?

Here is my first track. I do not know if it is working for bike because I did routing some parts with eco car modus. The track is 11 921km long. But I do not know how to upload it here. So everyone who like to get please send me a message and I will send you the track by email.

Best regards Jürgen

Hi,

okay I understand. But what is when there is a river and no brigde only ferry connection? Do we need to take always a brigde? From my point of view all ferry connection over rivers should be okay with the rules.

Hi,

do anyone know in which country it is possible to use the motorway with the bike? Most important would it be if I can use the motorway in China for the bike? From my understanding in Ukraine, Russia and Kasastan there is no other way then using the motorway. Correct?

Best regards Juergen

ok for a river

not ok for a lake

bye

Hi Juergen,

About motorways in China, you can find the information here in the forum.
In Hungary, bikes are not allowed on many national roads, there are bike paths but often narrow and badly usable.

Hi Juergen,

As posted here you can find our provisional gpx track on our website.

Kind regards,
Camille & Auguste

Hi Camille and Auguste,

sounds great I will have a look. If you like I can send you my first route. But this is very simple produced by brouter in the moment. I still have some problems how to know if the roads are okay with bike in China. But we can talk beginning of march at the meeting. I think this is one of my top topics for this meeting.

Best regards Juergen

Michel B.déconseilles tu carrément la Hongrie ?

Non, ça reste une de mes options.  J'ai cependant remarqué que pratiquement toutes les routes nationales en Hongrie sont interdites aux vélos, tracteurs et charrettes à cheval.  Sur la photo jointe, c'est la route (2 voies) qui longe le lac Balaton.  Je ne sais pas si la police tolère nos bolides électro-solaires.

Plusieurs participants sont passés par la Hongrie lors des précédentes éditions.  Quelles sont leurs expériences ?

Sur la photo, on devine bien que la voie latérale n'est pas vraiment praticable à vélo.  Sur d'autres routes, j'ai bien repéré des pistes cyclables revêtues mais étroites et non entretenues.

Merci de ta réponse. Je me posais la question pour le lac Balaton.
J'ai fait tout le bord du Danube en Hongrie. Parfois l'eurovelo 6 fait faire des détours dans les villages. Ça passe. Et on traverse de grands parcs nationaux avec castors, cigognes noires, guêpiers, etc, etc
À réfléchir encore...

Bonjour à tous
Je suis passée par la Hongrie pour aller à la mer noire en suivant plus ou moins l'EV6 . Si on la suit pour aller à Canton ce n'est pas 100 jours mais 1000 qu'il nous faudra.
Je n'avais pas remarqué que les nationales étaient interdites aux vélos.
Je vais essayer de répertorier celles interdites et celles autorisées. Si d'autres ont des renseignements ils sont les bienvenus.
