First European Tour - Help us plan!

[garthunkle]

After we finish uni, a mate and I plan to do a 2 or so week tour of Europe.

I'm getting a brand new Hornet 600. Will be doing my DAS at the end of May having done 3 or so months on a Varadero 125 and clocked up around 700 miles.

My mate who is doing an intensive DAS course in a couple of weeks plans to get a new Er-6n.

A member on here gave a really good route, which we are thinking of doing:

I would take the channel tunnel, ride back roads thru France towards Besancon, then ride north along the Route des Grandes Alpes towards Evian on Lake Geneva. Then head across Switzerland and northern Italy to the Dolomites around Cortina d'Ampezzo (do yourself a favour and base yourself somewhere round here for a couple of days. Every road in the Dolomites is a winner). Then head to Ljubljana, across Hungary to central Slovakia, then head back via Czech republic (maybe southern Poland), Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium. The large section of this route between Besancon and Ljubljana is fantastic for biking, though I generally love biking thru all of rural France and Germany too.

Firstly, do you think the distance is manageable in two weeks?

How would you change it and why?

Is there any advice you can give us, as it will be our first tour?
