I've only been cycling properly for about a month, but I'm determined to do an unsupported ride to the south coast of France and back this July. My fitness is good so that's not an issue, I just lack experience. Google maps tells me that the overall distance is about 1260 miles, and I'd be giving myself 3 weeks to accomplish it, meaning about 60 miles a day. Is that possible?
I'm looking for some advice basically, on what to bring and how to prepare.
Also I need to buy a new road bike (2nd hand probably) with a budget of £100-£150, what are my options?
