The Wine Road! Plans

Friday, May 20th

Tomorrow (Saturday May 21st) I'm going to be biking with Alberto through the "Wine Road" (La Route des Vins) over about an 8 day period in the region of Alsace, which is north of Besancon.

We will be starting in Strasbourg and making our way to Colmar, though the road does continue further past that (altogether it's about 105 miles / 170 km). We'll be taking our time biking village to village, stopping when and where we want to tour around them and visit a castle here and there.

It should be pretty beautiful - if you look at the map, you can see how many small villages dot along the road, all of which are surrounded by vineyards, with the Vosges mountains to your right the whole way.
