Germans have the same word for a cycle tour and a cycle ride (Radtour). In English “a”cycle tour” suggests several days with overnight stops and a “cycle ride” is a one-day thing. I will take the German usage here and so my cycle tours listed include some holidays when I stayed in one place and did several day rides.
Since my first tour in 2009 I have toured thousands of kilometres in Germany and the Netherlands, as well as short trips into Austria, Switzerland and the UK too. Here is a list of all my cycle tours arranged by date.
