We also hope to catch a mountain stage of the Tour de France on July 18th in the Pyrenees. Our route then goes back through France to Italy; then through Austria, Germany, into the Scandinavian countries. We will ride through Sweden and Finland, entering Russia through Finland some time around August 18th. In Russia, we will visit St. Petersburg and Moscow, before heading to Mongolia.
