Welcome to bike-eu.blogspot.com!
Bike-EU is an endeavor to experience Europe by bicycle on a path across the continent with the goal of raising money and awareness for three causes that are important to us. From June 23rd to August 18th we will tour the European continent on our bicycles as we travel on a 5,000-km journey from Athens, Greece to London, England. We hope you’ll be a part of the journey by helping us raise $2 per kilometer- $1 to support the ride and $1 to support the cause of your choice.
We have both individually ridden 2000+ miles in Japan- George around the northern island of Hokkaido, and John from the very south of the country to Tokyo. Last summer George also completed a cross-country ride from San Francisco to Lewes, Delaware. We are both experienced riders who intend to maintain this blog on a daily basis in order to accurately share with friends and family a daily riding log, our interactions with the people of the European continent and our thoughts, pictures and video footage of each day behind us. In short, the daily account will consistently portray the riders' real-time experiences during the journey. We look forward to hearing from you; and we do hope that we present an exciting adventure whose causes may benefit from the public's growing interest in our upcoming ride.
Kindest regards,
John Foley and George Makrinos
