During our recent trip to New Zealand we averaged 63 km per day. On Eurovelo we had changes of clothes and some bike spares, in New Zealand we had spare clothing, bike spares and some camping equipment. <br />Eurovelo 6 is about 4100 km long, a month is 30 days so you will need to average about 140 km per day with no rest days. A strong rider with a small amount of luggage can average mid 20s per hour so six hours in the saddle each day. The more luggage, the slower the riding.<br />If you have not got support you need to have enough energy to find accommodation, find food etc each day. This can be difficult – we found hotels etc fill quickly so we started to look for accommodation mid afternoon. This may not be a problem if you are camping. <br />As for your bike – I am not familiar with the bike mentioned – we use touring bikes for travelling. We have Surly Long Haul Truckers (in the 700 and 650 wheel frame sets). Most of our problems over the 50,000+ km of touring have been wheel related, then headsets. So providing the wheels are strong (not lightweight racing wheels) you should be ok. See my blog on wheel sizes. We used our 650 bikes in New Zealand and are planning to use the 650 bikes for our next trip to Europe.<br />Good luck, safe riding and enjoy the challenge.Auzziecyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836572228111506342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990548586201774060.post-76968197080075120672012-06-08T16:33:47.729-07:002012-06-08T16:33:47.729-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Auzziecyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836572228111506342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990548586201774060.post-39778750541611049042012-06-08T16:27:35.116-07:002012-06-08T16:27:35.116-07:00Sign posting along Eurovelo 6 can range from very ...Sign posting along Eurovelo 6 can range from very good, none or confusing. In some cases Eurovelo 6 is integrated into a local "velo verte" so there are a lot of signs pointing in every direction. We have just returned from a tour in New Zealand using GPS's - definitely will use one next year in Europe.Auzziecyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836572228111506342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990548586201774060.post-57980975251594737372012-05-03T03:14:48.729-07:002012-05-03T03:14:48.729-07:00hey this is a great site i can see it being very h...hey this is a great site i can see it being very helpful, its a shame it hasnt recieved many posts yet. im planning on undertaking the euro velo 6 from constanja at the beginning of june for charity, i have given myself a month to complete the journey. maybe im being a bit niave, its my first long distance trip. also, is it essential to have maps i was under the impression that the whole route was sign posted. il be riding an avenue spirit 4000, a pretty light weight racer/road hybrid. do you think this is adequate for the route?joncon02https://www.blogger.com/profile/14020523903256688149noreply@blogger.com
