Hi there,
Newby here, looking for a sense-check! I'm new to touring (cycling in general really). I'm reasonably fit currently able to do around 50 miles up and down the Yorkshire Dales but looking to do a fundraiser in April next year so need to get fitter. My plan is to bike the following route from the UK, through Netherlands, Germany and up to Denmark:
Day 1 - Leeds to Hull - 70 miles - 1044 feet climbing
Overnight ferry to the Rotterdam
Day 2 - Rotterdam to Zwolle - 101 miles - 613 feet climbing
Day 3 - Zwolle to Oldenberg - 117 miles - 672 feet climbing
Day 4 - Oldenberg to Hamburg - 99 miles - 1276 feet
Day 5 - Hamburg to Hellgenhafen - 85 miles - 2078 feet
Day 6 - Hellgenhafen to Copenhagen - 121 miles - 2375 feet
I know they're some long distances, but it's relatively flat, do you reckon they are achievable?
What tips/advice would you give me?
Thanks a lot!
