Cycle touring magazine
Found this whilst googling around, its a brilliant touring magazine and whats more its free!! I have really enjoyed some of the touring articles, it seems such a long wait for the CTC magazine every 2 months so this was a nice find.

Re: European Trains
This just seems so difficult, I can reserve on Eurostar to Paris and paris to strasbourg but you can't reserve from strasbourg to basil! I can't think of any other way to do it but i may get stuck in Basil. This is 2nd May I am trying to book.
