Cycling from Porto to Munich

It all started with wanting to ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats. When that wasn’t far enough I came up with a silly idea of going from Portugal to Germany. So in May 2016 I spent 6 weeks riding from Porto to Munich. I wrote about it as I went along, and wrote a postmortem on how it went.

Here are the posts from the road:

• Day 1: rolling out of Porto
• Day 2: to Santiago de Compostela
• Day 3: to Melide
• Days 5-7: to León
• Days 9-12: to Santillana del Mar
• Days 13-16: to Pamplona
• Days 17-20: over the Pyrenees to France
• Days 21-24: to Languedoc
• Days 25-29: to Grenoble
• Days 30-37: Grenoble to Zurich
• Days 38-41: to Munich!

And here are the rides day by day:
