Tour from Caen to Geneva

Post by salv90 »

Hi all,

I'm catching the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Caen (Ouistreham) on the 8th of June.

Planning on cycling to Geneva within 5 days (Hopefully 4 if conditions are good and no problems with the bike).
Looking to cycle +150kms per day. Camping (not wild) and eating out, though i will take a camping stove for tea, coffee and maybe some morning porridge.

If anyone wishes to join for part or all of the journey let me know.

I've cycled in Andalucia and northern Spain, so not a newbie to touring.

If anyone has any advice or tips they would be appreciated.

Cycled from Caen to Lausanne in the end. 675km in 6 days.
Day 1: Caen - Verneuil sur Avre (143km)
Day 2: Pithivier (131km)
Day 3: Auxerre (140km)
Day 4: Arnay-Le-duc (122km)
Day 5: Arbois (121km) Home of Louis Pasteur
Day 6: Lausanne (108km)

Not near the rather ambitious target.

Any questions about the trip don't hestitate to ask!
