I I have a non cycling friend who lives in Bergen, South West Norway that I have to visit for work reasons, mid May next year. So I have decided to take advantage of that and create a tour from there to Trondheim, further north.
I have acquired a second hand Barracuda Titanium Bike, with Ryanbuild Touring Wheels. and some panniers. I will be wild camping a great deal, as I have the gear and am used to walking trekking camping. The route I have planned is 600 miles. There is a lot of climbing and ferries and tunnels I cant go through to negotiate. I also plan to stop along the way to relax, and maybe attack some climbs without my gear and eat lots of Cake. It's solo and not a race to the end, but i cant take forever.. My experience includes having cols in the Alps and Sportives such as The Dragon Ride, in Wales.
I have three questions:
Is 50 or 60 miles a day about right, with panniers ?
As I cant take fuel on the plane, what cooking tools should I take to be able to buy locally ?
If I'm flying home from a different location to my arrival, what could I do about a bike bag/box.
Thanks
