Hard to believe that it’s been a bit more than two years since we returned home on March 23, 2020 from an interrupted trip to Indonesia.

As Jessica had repeatedly invited us to London to catch-up with her new life development since we last met in the fall 2019, we knew this would be one of our first travel destination after the Covid-19 pandemic faded somewhat and that foreign travel for tourism will be allowed again.

In the early stages of our trip planning to London, we saw an opportunity to combine a bicycle touring adventure with our visit of Jessica.

An overview of our proposed cycling itinerary.
