The Rivers of Europe

June 6th, 2008 · 3 Comments

One of the exciting things about the ride is that it travels from the North Sea to the Black Sea through some of the great rivers of Europe. See http://www.communitywalk.com/map/12225 This fabulous zoomable website shows all the detail you would want. The route is nearly 3,500km long and goes up the Rhine, into the Main then through the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal to the Danube which then takes you to the Black Sea. The high point in the traverse reaches an amazing 1,332 ft or 406 m. The route passes through a total of 66 locks.

Last week in Los Angeles I was lucky enough to meet a gentleman by the name of Corneliu Alex Blidaru. Alex is a cancer survivor too. He is originally from Romania and is a bit of a PWC enthusiast. He has kindly agreed to research this section of our route to find all the regulations and requirements that we will be subject to when passing through the many countries involved. I’m grateful for this. Alex is also considering my offer for him to ride with us through this area and act as an interpreter. I hope he can make it.
