Your heading to the European tourist traps, try to go in September when the passes are all open and the kids have gone back to school. Youll find avaliablity goes up and the prices go down, alot!
Bang for buck though I'd head to Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and then into Austria doing the loop back.
Ive done Europe and tbh, it costs too much, You could go to India, Cambodia or Vietnam for a month for less money........and yes, that includes a bike!
September could be a better bet weather wise too, although I've had some almighty down pours at various times of the year in Europe. In the hills in June-August there are often thunderstorms/downpours triggered by the heat. The climate tab on here is useful as a guide only. Last year in Romania it hardly rained all summer then kicked off in mid September.
The scale keeps changing, sometimes its 0 - 100mm, other times 0-300mm.
Bournemouth is relatively dry although it does rain a lot of days in the month.

My current plan for a Euro trip is going to Assen WSB at the end of April then heading to Croatia before it gets too hot there. I'm being made redundant next April so I'm taking tent this time to save costs. I will decide the route there depending on the forecasts, but will have a lot of time to do it.
