manchester to benicassim - 04/12/08 04:03 PM
hi!
im thinking of cycling from manchester [or preston] to spain starting from the start of june and need to be benicassim [up the coast from valencia] for the 14th of july.
i ride 8miles a day [to and from uni] at the moment but pretty sure i can ramp it up to 50+ a day, i havent done any massive bike trips before but ive done about 50 when i was alot younger so i reckon i should be ok.
has anyone got any tips? such as whats the crack with crossing the channel - ie best place to go from/to? is sleeping in fields ok? and anything else people can think of.
ive done a fair bit of travelling and sleeping rough before so that isnt a problem, more just the logistics of having a bike
cheers
andy
