Haha right ok, this is the reason I started this thread because im a complete novice at all this, jumped in at the deep end really but can’t wait for the adventure.
Do any of you know if there are any threads for people who have done long distance rides on trikes or wide bikes? Iv had a quick look but can’t see any
How wide is your rickshaw ??
If it's much over 800mm then it won't go through most anti-cycling barriers.
How low are the gears and how are they setup ??
If you've only 8 gears then I would plan to top out at around 75"and go down from there.
This will let you hit around 20 mph down a slight hill but more importantly it will give you low gears to climb hills.
Expect to hit short steep +15% in Devon and Cornwall.
The hills in Scotland tend to be longer but not a steep.
Oh only 95kg, yeah why not hop aboard then, I think I’d needs more than words of encouragement, possibly a whip might help. Not in a kinky way haha.
I’ll have a look at that Audax when I get in from work, thanks for all the advice by the way I do appreciate it. I haven’t used forums for a few years and thought they were a thing of the past, so I’m glad people actually are using them and responding
Personally I am a big fan of using my Garmin with GPX to plan and follow routes. I am assuming the Guinness rules need at least a couple of Garmin traces anyway.
I just did a quick and dirty route to see if I could zig zag the whole way and even this frankly bonkers route is short of 1600 miles. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26767362 (route not focussed on cycle friendly routes)
