Will 2022 finally be the year when Covid no longer dominates the news and we can dust off bicycle trip plans that were shelved several years ago? Â After 2 years of no overseas travel and a virus that doesn’t want to go away, would it be premature to start thinking about where I’d want to bicycle if I was able to?
As of right now, the best we can respond to either question is a hopeful maybe. Â One week into the new year, there isn’t much positive news regarding the pandemic and international travel. Â But then, positive news doesn’t attract viewers to the nightly news so that’s something to keep in perspective. Â Rather than waiting for positive news, I’m choosing to go into planning mode, exploring new route options and how to insure a successful post-covid cycling trip.
Needless to say, no one can predict when the cycle of covid outbreaks around the world will end. Â But the pandemic will be controlled and international travel will resume, perhaps not as quickly as we’d like, but it will resume. Â So why not use the upcoming months to learn about France’s many new/expanded cycle paths, how you can plan a successful post-pandemic cycling vacation and where to find the best resources for a trip. Stay tuned for future posts that are perfect for day-dreaming, strategizing different options or planning the perfect post pandemic cycling vacation.
Here’s to staying healthy and thinking positive about cycling in 2022 and beyond!
