Midlife Cycle 2025

Welcome to Alex's little adventure website for this year's cycle trip across Europe. Follow along with live tracking and reports...

About the trip

Why? Just because.

Random (and repeating) thoughts I've had the last years:

  • Wouldn't it be cool to walk across Europe.
  • How far can I cycle from Vienna until I give up?
  • That Dublin to UK Ferry I took ten years ago was awesome.
  • Interrail could be fun. But isn't that for the young ones?
  • I never actually completed the Donau Cycle Path.*

This year I thought time to make some of these thoughts a reality with a Frankensteined adventure. Fly to Dublin, head back using train and ferries, but cycling every day, visit friends and family along the way.

There are 2 parts:

  • Part 1: (28.08-01.09) Dublin to Amsterdam.
  • Part 2: (04.09-11.09) Amsterdam to Vienna.

And obviously the nerd in me couldn't resist to set up a website to track my journey and give me a bit of a motivation to actually keep to all the goals and plans.

* Couple of years back I set of from Upper Austria without much prep and ended up smashing my ball bearings on my pedals somewhere around Wallsee.
