Going on impulse..... Leaving on Monday!
I don't know if I love or hate my impulsive nature but it certainly makes things interesting.
Ok trip itinerary:
Amsterdam (my spiritual home but I might skip this because it screws with crossing times)
Stuttgart, Germany
Prague, Czech Republic
Budapest, Hungary
Ljubljana, Slovenia
San Marino, Italy (maybe by boat)
Rome, Italy (skippable depending on time)
Monaco
Long ride home through France to Calais or something (Ridden French roads before and they were pretty boring)
As far as I can tell all of those stops and the routes required to get to them are safely within the EU and within my "limited documentation" requirements.
I have 2 full weeks to ride that route, Does it seem reasonable? It is around 3500 Miles which means travelling about 250-300 miles a day but some days will be huge legs over alot of motorway! I intend to pack light and travel quite large distances each day with short stopovers whenever I am tired and longer stays in the bigger destinations.
I have checked with my insurance company and I am fully covered to ride in any country in the EU, my passport is up to date, I have an IDP.
Bikes been recently serviced, new tyres booked to go on it in Stuttgart, Handwarmers being fitted Sunday.
What have I forgotten?
