How did you plan your days biking to be on low traffic roads (dirt or pavement) as much as possible. Any good websites for route planning like this that tells you about how busy the roads are, or at least which roads are bike friendly with a nice sized shoulder for the majority of it? I am planning a bike trip with the lady for June. Looking to bike about 7 days, anywhere from 40-80 miles a day with no more than ~1-2,000m per day climbing. Pavement, dirt, or rail trails, no singletrack.
We did a 'self guided' tour of Ireland last year and had a blast but all the company really did was give us a route, take luggage from hotel to hotel and organize our bike rentals. While that was nice, we could definitely do it cheaper and just carry our own gear each day so we are hoping to plan our own trip this time.
If you have done a fun ~7 day long bike trip through anywhere beautiful in Europe hit me up and I'd love to see your route, or just get some ideas for how to plan for low traffic roads through cool areas. I HATE biking on busy roads. Anywhere beautiful in Euroland is on the table but right now we were thinking Italy (mainland or Sardinia), France or Switzerland.
