Hi Evanston Bike Club Members,
My name is Barb Anderson. I joined EBC after retiring in May in hopes of participating on
weekday rides. Due to traveling and family commitments, I have not been able to join any
rides this summer. I am one of the ride leaders with the Let’s Ride Meetup group. In the past
several years, I have been organizing international bike trips. I organized a bike trip to the
Loire Valley along with touring in Paris. Two years ago, we biked on the Atlantic Coast of
Portugal along with touring in Barcelona and Madrid. Two of the EBC club members,
Richard White and Joe Nordstrom, have participated on past trips.
Next summer we will be riding from Vienna to Budapest with options to tour Vienna before
the ride and Budapest after the ride. The dates for the entire trip will be from June 4 to June
16. If you only want to do the biking part of the trip, it would be from June 6 to June 14.
Biking is a great way to really see the country and meet people. I have a few openings for
the trip this year and want to extend an invitation to EBC members who might be
interested.
Attached is the itinerary which includes pricing for the trip. There are many options for the
trip:
1. Do the whole trip and include airfare.
2. Do the whole trip but you book your own airfare.
3. Do only the bike trip (you would need to book your own airfare)
I use two companies:
1. CETA is the company that takes care of transportation to and from USA and the
touring activities (and hotels) in Vienna and Budapest
2. Randovelo is the bike company that takes care of everything during the bike trip (I
have distinguished Randovelo information and pricing by highlighting their
information in yellow.
I had an information meeting in early August. Currently, I still have some openings. I would
need to know if you are interested by September 15th. Deposits will be due by October 15th.
The complete payment schedule and requirements are in the document. Here is my
contact information: banderson1954@gmail.com and Phone: 563-590-4707 if you have
questions.
Thank you,
Barb Anderson
