London to Sicily

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Me and a mate are planning to ride this in the summer, but we're both pretty inexperienced, so any advice anyone could give me would be much appreciated. I'm particularly wondering about how to work out a route and what kit I need to get (including what bike!) Thanks very much.

Heya mate! Have a look at my thread called "Dublin to Rome" in this forum. We should meet up in France somewhere and race over the alps!!!! :D
