On Sunday 12 July I will be heading off from Paris to ride (with a few, yet to be made, friends) to Istanbul i.e. http://tourdafrique.com/orient-express.
The Journey: 3,600 km 39 riding days 11 rest days
Countries: France, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey.
You can see my fellow participants at: http://tourdafrique.com/orient-express/people. There are 20 people doing the whole ride and another 16 doing one of the 2 week sections. There are 4 staff looking after us.
This is the start of an intermittent blog – wi-fi access and inspiration allowing.

Safe journey to Paris Stephen!
I’m in! Had to disabuse a few people that I was the one crazy enough to go on this ride. Well maybe i’d be crazy enough but certainly not fit enough
Bon voyage. Will follow with interest. And envy!
What an incredible journey! Enjoy and take care!
Good luck. Enjoy the ride
