Hi - Next month we are going to ride from Lands End to Tunbridge Wells to raise some money for sports equipment for a local school. We intend to take 5 days - only road bikes - about 350 miles...
I'd appreciate any suggestions of nice routes to take that compromise between being very quiet and having not too many evil hills. Any suggestions of good pubs to stay in would also be appreciated.
I spoke to SUSTRANS and amazingly they don't keep any details of the terrain, i.e. they can;t say which routes are suitable for on vs. off-road bikes, so we can't rely on those.
SWMBO is on a custom-fit carbon thingy, I have my trusty 30 y/o Claude Butler. Both of us have done decent rides before, e.g. Vatternrunden & Castle 100 etc., but not spread over several days.
Suggestions welcome for what route to take, what to pack etc.
Thanks
Nick
