I suspect the next really big tour will be to cycle across the USA, but we can't fit it in during 2012 (and I have to have sufficient time to bring Ken around to the idea).  So, that remains a forthcoming attraction!

For the meantime, the preferred option for next year, given the time we have available and the fact that we loved cycle touring in Spain, is to cycle up to the north of Spain, possibly using the Via de la Plata (an ancient Roman route to Santiago de Compostela), to ride over to the west coast of Galicia and then back down through Portugal.  We're not sure at the moment of exactly how much time we're going to have and so we need to keep the schedule flexible.  We're getting a few rainy days now which trap us indoors and so my mind turns to researching and planning out a potential route .
