Traveling Tomas
A cycling and travel journal
I'm Tom — a 69 year old retired American living in Spain — training now to ride an e-bike over 5.500 km across the Baltic coast, including Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, the Low Countries, and France to get back to Spain. Updates will be monthly while preparing: my training plan and how it changes and how I'm doing following it. Updates while traveling will be weekly: where I've been, what broke, what I ate, and what I saw.
How to read this Posts are in order — newest at the top. Every post begins "Date", so you always know where you are in the journey. Dates and distances are in the title of each post. Videos and photos sit inside the posts themselves; no account needed to watch.
For cyclist with experience in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and France: I'd love to hear your reaction to my plans.
For future riders Planning your own Baltic-to-Mediterranean route? Post titles include towns and daily kilometres, and I tag by country, so you can skim for the legs you care about.
