well...
What are you going to see doing 900 miles plus a day ? could just get on a plane and save some time
Theres sun sea sand sky snow and sangria to wash it down, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Mountain ranges seen first hand are just a spectacle to behold, weve been 9000 ft above sea level, so high, that the bikes didnt want to restart.
Me and"bandits at 12 o clock"(aka george) know ,weve been before, it was a hard ride, but we loved it, if i had wanted a safe holiday, weve have gone to pontins.
I would expect to do at least 500 miles a day, you have to,these are big countries.
Weve done geneva in one day, it wasnt too bad, geneva was fab at night.
I think we can do Austria in one day, a place called innsbruck, should be do-able.
It will be a great place to attack the fluellapass, the offenpass, the stelviopass to name a few, these will be awesome, trust me.
I'm not trying to sell the trip here,quite the reverse, if youre not hardcore stay at home, and prune the roses.
The last person i would like to bring along is a rose pruner.
Ive yet to map out the mileage, but if you aim to do 250 miles in a day,go on a round trip to birmingham and go see the nec, cos youre on the wrong trip here.
You have to accept if you are to get to rome and bologna and back, you will have to give it some welly.
If you want to go on a riding holiday this is it,what its not is a propping up the bar trip, i can drink myself silly in a field, and regularly do.
Campout v4 in the planning btw.
There are 5 definates at the mo,we'll be riding in small groups around 10 mins apart , ipods are a must, its along fookin way.
If you have no euro experience mr wapping is sorting a wee euro blast for a spot of duty free as a taster.
There we are , the lie of the land...Paul.
Let the countdown begin.
ps please note the new dates 9th-19th june.2011
I will modify the title asap.
