A thread to gather my thoughs
Bonjour from Le France...
Just a rough idea as I'm piggy backing someone's wireless in Carcassone right now, reckon it's about time I took the bike further than wales... The route is rougher than the Vin du Pays here, and I saw some of that stuff served from a petrol container, but lets see what happens when I get back to blighty tomorrow... "Le Route"

Re: A thread to gather my thoughs
Jeez dude! That is one long trip! How long you think you can take to do that? There is nothing worse than trying to force the miles to keep to an itinerary when touring......

Re: A thread to gather my thoughs
i'd probably look at taking 8 weeks off work to do a trip that size, the idea being not to be constantly trying to keep up with a target mileage and have regular days to actually see the places you're going through

Re: A thread to gather my thoughs
Wowzers, that's a long way. Looks cool though, would love to be able to do something like that, but I'd never get the time off.

Re: A thread to gather my thoughs
wow, I'm impressed...
You'll actually gonna ride through my home town  When in Poland, petrol is sh!te, so fill up with 98 (otherwise you'll run out of petrol quickly). Mandatory stop in Zywiec for a pint Be careful on the road as sometimes its everyone for himself. You're going through 2 of my most favourite regions (south and north-east). If you need any info or help with planning, give us a shout. Good luck! |
