We are planning a trip in july. Sailing from dover to calais, then doing a ride to verbier, switerland (we have friends there so accomation = £nil!) The journey on the most direct route is 850km .... eek we planning to do it in a day! Should be interesting. Will test how keen I really am!!
Also doing Ireland for the northwests 200 which is May, it is a beautiful place, with plenty of bikes!
All Good! !
