Eurolvelo Route 5 (Dublin to Switzerland)

[ridertothesea]

Am planning to ride from Dublin to Switzerland in July and was wondering where I might get info on Eurovelo Route 5 (which I'm thinking of using in part).

ALternatively I could avoid UK altogether and get Rosslare Roscoff Ferry to France. Any advice on either would be appreciated.

The "best" starting point is the European Cyclists' Federation website, where there is a Eurovelo section. Some of the routes have dedicated websites some do not, route 5 does not.

So the real best bet is to contact the national cycling federation members and also to use your search engine and see what it throws up: for example for EV6 there is a French guy who has mapped the entire French part of the route.

As to the choice of route I love cycling in Brittany but the final decision will probably end up asa personal time/total cost calculation.

In any case enjoy the ride!

I'm planning to do Berkshire to Brindisi in summer 2010 and have collated alot of information on my blog: www.puglia2010.com . I'll be following the EV5 route so I'd be very interested in hearing how you get on.
Good luck

I am interested in EV8, the Mediterranean Route. The most recent route report is old (talks about closed borders that have been open for 4 years!). I emailed the ECF but got no response, hmm...

My book about cycling the Eurovelo 5 is now available on Amazon - search for "Good Vibrations: Crossing Europe on a Bike Called Reggie"
