It’s not all about cycling the Alps
While cycling the Alps may be his passion and priority, Cyclopaat doesn’t object to grab whatever opportunity presents itself to cycle in other parts of the world.
As long as there are mountains or at least serious hills, he’s good.
Like those vacations on Mallorca, Gran Canaria or Tenerife – Paula booked those with the intention to lay on the beach and relax for a while, but she should have known better.
That is, she did, but he got on a rental bike anyway.
If she wants to get that nutcase off his bike for a week or two, she should NEVER book a leisure holiday on an island that is routinely used by every wannabe cyclist to train…
On the bright side, these trips at least offer her the chance to enjoy the beach, instead of having to follow him around on his endeavours 😊
Other than that, he’s been to the (Hoch) Sauerland and the Eifel in Germany, as well as the Vosges in France – nice areas to train for more serious expeditions, although he didn’t like the Vosges very much.
And in 2023 he – finally – wandered off into the (Hautes-)Pyrénées during his Tour de France 2023.
