EUROVELO, looking for local enthusiasts to strenghten the network
Submitted by sannioinbici on Wed, 2009-09-02 01:56
EuroVelo, the European cycle route network, is a project of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF). It is made up of 12 routes, totalling over 66,000 km, of which about 45,000 km is already in place. (www.eurovelo.org)
The development and operation of the EuroVelo routes are carried out by national, regional and local governments but it proceeds very slowly. I think that ALL CYCLISTS living along one of the routes SHUOLD SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
For istance, I live in Benevento which is situated in the middle of the Rome - Brindisi leg of Eurovelo 5. I've recently set up a facebook group named Eurovelo 5 and I would like to gather cyclists living on this London - Brindisi route. The aim is to develop common promotion actions and assist travellers on the route.
In August 2010 for istance, there will be an English guy cycling the whole route. His blog is www.puglia2010.com We will host in Benevento and take the chance of his arrival to advertise locally the eurovelo route. It would be nice if other people did the same!

I live near Wrocław on the Euro 9 “Amber Route” . Sounds like a great idea. There isn’t a map of the entire route yet although it exists! Here is a link to part of the route, from the Czech Republic through Lower Silesia.

Too bad that it is only in Czech and Polish. If anyone has questions, I'd be glad to help

Message from "The English Guy"
I am the person that is mentioned in the above post although my website has changed slightly to www.puglia2010.wordpress.com . I'm on track to cycle to Puglia in southern Italy along the route of the Eurovelo 5; I set off on Sunday 18th July 2010 from my home town of Reading in southern England and the journey should take me about 5 weeks....
Updated webpage
Just for information:
www.puglia2010.wordpress.com is now ...

It's still my aim to cycle the Eurovelo 5 from the UK (Reading) to Brindisi in southern Italy setting off on July 18th. I have set up a forum on Warmshowers so if anyone out there is able to offer halp, assistance, accommodation, a smile(!) along the way, please let me know.
Best wishes
Andrew
