Welcome to our site Cycling2Tibet..
We regret that our journey of epic proportions had to end sooner then expected. Nonetheless it was one of epic proportions with plenty of noteworthy encounters. Currently all of us are home and back to the normal life. Although, normal life? Every one of us did change a little. We had an unforgettable journey that is for sure.
The site will - of course - stay online. We raised a whooping 4757 Euro for charity which was much more then either of us had expected. This money has been handed over to Tibet naar School (Photo). All the photos and stories will be kept on the site. So for those who didn't read everything yet: you know where to find it, and for those who managed to read everything: you know where to go if you want to refresh your memory.
We are currently debating on what to do next with this site. It seems most likely that any noteworthy adventures, journeys and such will be posted on this site as well. Another thing we have in mind is to create a how to section, with ideas, suggestions and examples of how to start such a big adventure. If you ever happen to have questions, you can still contact us via the contact form or by our direct email address if you have those. One thing is for sure: we don't intend on letting this site disappear just like that.
And have you just started with another big journey let us know, it is always good to read other people their experiences!
Ciao,
Aafke, Douwe and Marius

Starting March 23rd 2009 till the 13th of July 2009 we made a bicycle journey from Veenendaal (Holland) to Tibet (China). Sadly enough we did not make it (see ourblog) to Tibet. Every sleeping place has been marked on google maps with a blue drop. This goes all the way from Holland to Uzbekistan, our last country. The blue line resembles the roughly planned route.
In total we passed through 13 countries:
•- Holland
•- Belgium
•- Germany
•- Austria
•- Slovakia
•- Hungary
•- Serbia
•- Romania
•- Bulgaria
•- Turkey
•- Iran
•- Turkmenistan
•- Uzbekistan

The sponsoring of this trip is divided in 2 sections.
There is the option to sponsor us, so that we can pay for this journey. You can sponsor some of our gear, or simply money for the trip itself (food & lodging, visa).
But you can also choose to donate money for Tibetan children. We are not only making this trip to have a good time, but we're trying to raise money for 'Tibet naar school' as well. You can sponsor them through donation of a fixed amount, or you can donate a certain value per 1000 km of our trip. We will keep you updated on our trip distance through this website.
You can fill out the sponsoring form now, or you can find more information on this page .
