I saw this link this morning from Simon Weir, some good practical advice about planning trips and the variables to consider. His books and website are also good planning tools https://www.simonweir.co.uk/post/ho...6d44&cid=a2ea458d-5a3c-489e-90f8-2ca242912037
Don't forget I'll be living in southern Spain if anyone wants to ride or holiday down there, or use my place as a start point for a Morocco trip
A good article for anyone heading from the UK. Only one ‘but’…while Switzerland has some superb roads with amazing passes, it is very hard to enjoy unless riding within the speed limits. Even none ‘speeders’ need to watch as there is no leeway for even a few kph over the limit. I have a trip planned for next year, with the official start of the trip in Austria. Most direct route for me is through Switzerland to get there, but the route will be via Germany and a few extra hours!
